    Yes, a Bro...a bra for men. Listen, I love Chuck and miss him but dude is FAT! I was watching him tonight on TNT and the guy will soon be giving Two Sandwhiches a run for his namesake. Hey, Chuck...stay out of the Vegas buffets and try hitting a stairmaster a couple days a week.

    I hated it when the Rox traded for him. but watchin that rolly-polly old man take on most of the young studs and still wooped ass on them definitely gave me reason to respect the man!

    Hey, if I am Barkley, and I have a cushy job at TNT, and millions of dollars in the bank (not to mention a fine wife), then I would let myself go a bit too.

    It should be called a manziere. [​IMG] (Seinfeld fans get this one)

    Charles Barkley could still outrebound everyone on the Rockets and most players in the league.

    The greatest "fat" athlete to have ever played basketball or sports in mho! I think all true basketball fans will always miss the round mound.

    I agree ROXRAN. But many would say Babe Ruth.

    Good point, but did Babe Ruth ever pick up Shaq and throw him down during a game? Bro or no bro, Sir Charles played with the biggest heart on the courts!

    True, the Chuckster has put on a pound or two. I just hope that he doesn't let himself go to the point to where his health is affested, which I don't forsee. Otherwise, c'est la vie.

    And speaking of TNT, what do ya'll think of their setup? Barkley's not BAD!! But my favorite part of TNT's show, outside of Vescey's fantastic "INSIDE INFO", is Kenny's analysis of a particular team and then everyone piling on him afterwards. For example (and I'm paraphrasing here):

    KS: "The Nuggets were wrong for not going to practice...They are complaining about Issel being a disciplinarian...It's better for a coach to not be known as a "player's coach" because that translates into 'I'll let you do what you want'".

    Ainge: "Shut the hell up, Kenny. You've never coached, and barely played."

    EJ: "Yeah Kenny, you really need to shut the hell up, but I'm not in this."

    Vescey: "My sources tell me that if Kenny doesn't stop giving these wild suggestions during halftime, he's going to be moved along with Bill Walton from NBC to Comedy Central, with Craig Kilborn going to TNT and the 'Man Show' going to the time slot following SNL. Look for this to happen anyday now."

    Thompson: "Zo is so special. Dikembe is such a wonderful young man. Patrick is like a son to me. And Allen has so much heart. Now shut up, Kenny."

    KS: (To Ainge) "Well, at least I didn't have a towel thrown in my face."

    (Everyone laughs and engages in childish teasing of Ainge)

    Barkley: "What does disciplinarian mean?"

    (Everyone laughs again. Fade to commercial break.)

    Ya know, I had forgotten all about it, but I have that book -- "The Wit and Wisdom of Charles Barkley" . . . it's pretty cool, but not worth the cover price. I got it (new) at Half-Price Books for three bucks.

    he wasn't fat when he was playing. Sure he was a little chunkier than the karl malones and kevin willis's of the league but those guys are phenominal in conditioning, malone-like shape or not barkley has always been a good player.

    BTW, he is fat now. He really should stay in shape even if all he does is play golf and broadcast.

    Disagree, HOOP-T. Chuck was never over his playing weight, cause according to him his playing weight was whatever he weighed when he played [​IMG]
