Watching post-game analysis. On the double dribble, Charles said if he had a 50 inch television and instant replay that he would never miss a call. Everyone on the set answered in the negative if they previously had seen that double dribble call and all admitted that the continuation did not raise any concern with them.

The Charles said that it was a foul on the final shot and he did not want the missed call to take anything away from Virginia's gutsy win. He also said that he wanted to cry since Auburnlost, but that it was a foul and saluted the young man, Guy, who made the free throws. Charles was a class act.

Clark Kellog, Hill and Rafftery are terrible. They need to get Reggie Miller as the color announcer. Barkley and crew add a ton to the telecast.

I love Charles. Glad to hear he was magnanimous in defeat.

But one thing Charles isn't is a class act. His past outrageous statements would back up my claim. He in one funny dude who sometimes crosses the line.....

What is so outrageous? He speaks his mind.

How about these classy quotes? They are hilarious but not exactly classy.....

I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I’d work for the Klan.

When I was recruited at Auburn [university], they took me to a strip joint. When I saw those titties on Buffy, I knew that Auburn met my academic requirements.”

On Jerry Krause still being able to keep his job as GM of the Chicago Bulls: “Jerry Krause must have pictures of his boss’s wife having sex with a monkey.”

After throwing a guy through a 1st floor window in a bar Charles was in front of the judge.
Judge: “Your sanctions are community service and a fine, do you have any regrets?”
Charles: “Yeah I regret we weren’t on a higher floor”

After an Olympic Dream Team victory over Angola, in which they won 116-48, Charles got into a physical altercation with a member of Angola towards the end of the game, afterwards he says. “Somebody hits me, I’m going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn’t eaten in a couple weeks. I thought he was going to pull a spear on me.”


We had black guys who sucked. That’s hard to do. The Sixers were the only organization in the NBA who could find black guys who couldn’t play.”

After retiring from basketball “I’m just what America needs – another unemployed black man.

Ernie: “Did they recognize you in South Dakota?”
Charles: “Yes, they did. It was easy because I was the only black person there. When they see me walking down the street they say ‘There he goes again’. And when I come back the next year they say ‘He’s back yawl!'”

Asked if he had ever been in the governor’s office in Montgomery, Barkley said no. “They don’t let many black people in the governor’s mansion in Alabama,” he said, “unless they’re cleaning.”

On the Golden State Warriors: “Maybe I’m old school, but I’m never going to like that little girly basketball where you have to outscore people. I’m biased against girl basketball.

On the Enron scandal investigation: “Almost all those politicians took money from Enron, and there they are holding hearings. That’s like O.J. Simpson getting in the Rae Carruth jury pool.”

If you go out with a girl and they say she has a great personality, she’s ugly. If they tell you a guy works hard, he can’t play a lick. Same thing.


I had to explain to my daughter why that skank Monica Lewinski has an hour special on HBO this weekend.

And this for Corbi:

Well, when I went off to college, the guys I used to hang with were pumping gas and voting Democrat. Today they’re still pumping gas and voting Democrat. Guess the Democrats didn’t do much for them.”


 
You should look up the stories about Charles Barkley and Lin Wang as told by Wang’s daughter. They changed my view of him very positively.
 
Barkley is so

Just read the story. I agree makes him even more likeable

Most of them are entirely true! Sometimes telling the truth isn’t PC.

I have no problem with any of them and shows he’s quick witted and hilarious. This is really what gets people riled up these days?
 
Not sure that classy and politically correct are related.

He's a good man who says some outrageous things. There's plenty of evidence out there for both. I enjoy listening to him.
 
My favorite Charles Barkley story is when he went to camp for the 84 US Olympic team coached by Bobby Knight.

I read during that camp that after a couple days all eyes were on Barkley because he was dominating the best players in the country with rim shattering dunks. Then suddenly Barkley got cut and on to the NBA.

Years later Michael Jordan conveyed to a reporter that one day in camp Bobby Knight walked into the locker room wearing a pair of wing tips. Barkley let out a yell...."look at those kicks....those are something special....right out of Happy Days." Knight was visibly irritated.

The team was both shocked due to collective fear of Knight, and doubled over in laughter. Barkley had no fear speaking truth to power.

The next day Barkley was cut.
 
I love Charles. Glad to hear he was magnanimous in defeat.

But one thing Charles isn't is a class act. His past outrageous statements would back up my claim. He in one funny dude who sometimes crosses the line.....
Compared to the current standard, Charles is a class act.
