    Charles is a crappy actor, thats all there is to it. He was sweating pretty bad on that ski lodge skit, was he actually nervous ? :grin:

    SNL isnt that bad. They're not genius level anymore, but they're at least serviceable humorous. Most of their skits run smooth. If anything, its a credit to how much they can mask random guests untalented deficiencies week after week.

    I agree on this. It isn't back to the better parts of the 90s or the golden ages before those but it is a lot better then a few years back, where only Tina Fey was consistently good and all she really did was the Weekend update.

    The man took a huge pay cut to play for the Rockets, and he played well for the team. He obviously doesn't have many nice things to say about the organization or city nowadays, but he did give his all while in a Rockets' uniform. I respect him for that.

    Newbs don't know about Charles. He's taken the rockets further than the much hyped superstars we had before.

    Whatever he says on tnt doesn't change what he did on the court.

    Oj. Simpson killed somebody, but that doesn't change that was a good running back.

    Charles was on NBC for the whole day, including the coverage for Houston Texan's football game. He picked against Houston.

    We always get 2 sides of the coin with Charles. Sometimes he plays the villain in the Houston sports scene:
    Rockets Playoffs 94, 95
    Anti-Yao Ming sentiment 00's

    Sometimes a hero:
    Major contributor late in his career to the Houston Rockets.
    Always giving props to Rudy-T and Olajuwon on the TNT set.


    He is one of the best players I have ever seen. Sometimes his mouth gets him into trouble (ala Tmac) but I consider a good and entertaining guy.

    Inside the NBA Spoof - Keenan plays Barkley, Barkley plays Shaq
    "... and then we dared Hakeem Olajuwon to fight an alligator to the death and I lost 50 grand betting on the alligator."
