    Because he told the world at age 23, "I'm not a role model; parents and school teachers are."

    He said that at age 23 on Oprah Winfreh...and he got crucified by the media.

    I love Hakeem, but Charles is my hero. I'm not talking about bball. Charles Barkley is my hero...flat out.

    GO ROCKETS!!

    Bad timing considering, Sir Charles routinely shiiits on your supposedly favorite team every chance he gets.. Good luck with that bro.

    Charles Barkley is one of the Greatest NBA players of All-Time and a very Generous and Philanthropic person. I don't worri soo much about the silly things he says or does when looking at the bigger picture :cool:

    Was he really only 23? For some reason I thought he was older... Yeah, I did like the way he would say how it was on the court/to media.

    For example, Jordan would tend to talk **** on the court and then proceed to be nice with the media, but Barkley would continue the **** talking, haha, good times.

    I'm not a fan of him lately with how he talks about the Rockets, but I guess it's more of a personal issue. Still find him enjoyable on some topics though.

    The bigger picture is that he barely competent of the game and almost never says anything relevant and coherent. He's there for show and was a decent natural talent but nothing more.

    Anyone who only knows Barkley through TNT needs to leave this thread pronto.


    I support you brother, Chuck played his ass off with the Rockets and the people who are too sensitive to get his humor or takes are the same people who cry when they get free songs in their iTunes account.

    99ers forever. newbs, never.

    99er, the hakeem of hakeems

    why are you even talking to rookies? this might be your fault

    clutch has made these people rookies for a reason, they don't believe in clutch city which is the foundation of what is just and right in the world
