Charles Barkley Quotes

I was going through the old NLSC forums and found a thread Stevan had made with a link to a site full of Barkley quotes, about 3 years ago or so. To my surprise the site is still up and the guy is still updating it, there's some really funny stuff in here....

I saw Charles Manson do an interview once and he sounded normal too...Ron Artest has cost that team homecourt advantage.

Danny Ainge called me. I have to apologize to him. Even though he's doing a lousy job, he doesn't want me to say that on TV. Danny Ainge is a good friend of mine. He's made some terrible trades, but he doesn't want me to say that on TV, so I apologize.

Cassell shooting over (Earl) Boykins is like shooting over a chair.

After a loss to the Bulls in the early 90s: "It's the kind of game that makes you go home and beat your wife."

They (the Lakers) don't care if Michael Olowokandi gets points. If he explodes... he's gonna get 8.

On a TNT telecast a few years ago, Kenny Smith was going on and on about his two championship rings. He said that, in a show of appreciation for their efforts, he gave one ring to his father and the other to his brother because "they were the ones who helped me get them". Charles quipped, "You should have given them to Hakeem."

About Craig Sager wearing a reflective silver suit to the 2001 NBA All-Star game: "I don't have anything against black people, white people or any kind of people, but when you start letting pimps interview people, that's where I draw the line."

Charles Barkley: "I'm so sick of fat people."
Kenny Smith: "Why? You can't live with yourself?"
Barkley: "First of all, they killed Oreos. You know they can't make the Double-Stuff Oreos anymore because fat people can't keep their mouths shut. Now they're killing the McDonald's super-size. Can you believe that? Just because fat people are lazy and don't work out and can't keep they're mouths shut, they have to ruin it for everybody. They'll probably kill ice cream next! Is that my fault they can't stop eating? I'm so sick of these fat people suing these companies. Stop eating!"

Talking about Karl Malone and his retirement on Jay Leno:
Jay Leno: "Karl's in great shape though!"
Charles Barkley: "Me too. Round is a shape!"

You know the world is off tilt when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest basketball player is Chinese and Germany doesn't want to go to war.

"Cassell shooting over (Earl) Boykins is like shooting over a chair."

"After a loss to the Bulls in the early 90s: "It's the kind of game that makes you go home and beat your wife.""

First of all, they killed Oreos. You know they can't make the Double-Stuff Oreos anymore because fat people can't keep their mouths shut. Now they're killing the McDonald's super-size. Can you believe that? Just because fat people are lazy and don't work out and can't keep they're mouths shut, they have to ruin it for everybody.

the world off tilt is the best tho

Definitely, I hate how Steven A. Smith acts like he has the end-all right opinion on every subject in sports. He just acts incredibly stupid and arrogant.

"On throwing an elbow at an Angolan: "Well, he might have pulled a spear on me."

On why he befriended Christian Laettner: "We’re a lot alike, actually. We both attended great academic institutions. And when we walk into a room, women scream."

"I heard Tonya Harding is calling herself the Charles Barkley of figure skating. I was going to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized I have no character."

* Latrell Sprewell: "You don't know anything about fashion, Charles."
Charles Barkley: "Both you and Craig Sager think that when you put on a famous designer's clothing, we are supposed to give you a pass on it."
Sprewell: "Hey, a lot of people like what I wear."
Barkley: "Is that Prada?"
Sprewell: "That's right."
Barkley: "What is that...the black J.C. Penney's?"

I found that pretty funny.
