I listen to the DPS every morning at work and they have Charles on right now. I could listen to him talk all day. Dude is hilarious, and about as real as it gets. Pointless thread but I love him.
Charles Barkley on Dan Patrick Show
- Thread starter CychiatricWard
- Start date
I heard he was considering an Alabama gubernatorial run at one point. He should absolutely do it. He is the best.
My contribution to the pointless 
thread:
I saw Barkley play in both college (Auburn) and the NBA (76ers) back in the awesome '80s.
In the Auburn game @ LSU, he stole the ball at mid-court from LSU guard John Tudor. Tudor would normally hard-foul anybody to stop an easy lay-up, but he didn't even try to foul Barkley on this play. He just let him go to the hoop and slam dunk that ball without risking his own life and limb.
The 76ers game was @ the Washington Bullets, and the battle between Charles and Moses Malone was fun to watch. Those two were not afraid to bang around in the lane!

Yeah the Shaq/Barkley feud is up there with the Jimmy Kimmel/Matt Damon feud.
I laughed when he said he wanted to be cremated so he could finally be skinny.

Nobody was back then...it was the golden age of the NBA.
Now you me me look up and watch the Sarah Silverman video to Kimmel, "I'm Fing Matt Damon".
I love Chuck. Never know quite how he's going to land on a topic, which I appreciate. He's his own man, and doesn't really care whether anyone agrees with him or not.
Conan interviewed him a while back on his podcast. Good listen for you chuck-lovers if you haven't already.
That crew is the best on TV. Hilarious, give good basketball insight, can have serious and intelligent discussions without being too serious with each other and Ernie is the best of the best for holding it all together and pushing it forward
I heard today's interview driving home from the gym and couldn't stop laughing. Almost wrecked my truck when he said {paraphrasing}, "When I'm going down, I wanna take one last trip to Vegas, take all my money, gamble it and give away the rest instead of leaving it to my greedy-ass family." Classic Chuck.
He's a lot smarter and more well informed than their football coach senator who had no political experience.
Not really Barkley related neccesarily but this is the best moment of all time from that show just for Shaqs reactions.
One of my all time favorite athletes. Plus the fact that he was a good guy that tried to portray himself as a bad guy. I always enjoy listening to him talk.
My Dad's Friendship With Charles Barkley
Shirley Wang's father, Lin, was on a business trip when he ran into NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley. It was the beginning of a friendship.

if you haven't read this, it's by far my favorite Barkley story (and an Iowa connection too).
I hate the NBA but this is the funniest show on television, hands down. And it's not just the TV personalities but also the producer (Tim Kiley) and the video/production team. The photo shops and edits they do on the show are second to none.
These are probably two of my favorites. Chuck has at least 3 kids and obviously never changed a diaper? That was my favorite for the longest time but the bracelet story might have overtaken it. So many great moments on that show to chose from.
