I love golf. But do you know how I got good at golf? Because of Charles Barkley. I was playing with Charles, Michael Jordan and Roy Green, and Charles was talking so much trash. On every shot, he was talking trash. So I left the tournament, and I went and practiced for a year and half. Eric Dickerson
Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler and I used to argue for hours about who the best athletes are. I thought football players were better overall. Warren Moon
Charles Barkley, I used to watch him growing up. Then I met him. He was a big teddy bear. Shannon Miller
My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was. Paul Pierce
