I met a man that worked at the airport. The N.B.A. team that Charles was on landed. The man that worked at the airport was asked by Charles: What are you doing here? Charles knew. The reply was: Mr. Barkley, I work the graveyard shift. He said, that must be really hard on you and your family! Charles proceeded to pull out a roll of $100.00 bills and passed them out to all the employees he could find working that shift! What a beautiful thing to do!

Charles Barkley was one of the few athletes who would say whatever he would want to say to whoever he wanted to say it to

some people argue the greatest honor, more than a ring or even HOF, is an organization retiring your number, Barkley has his number retired in two organizations...

Sir Charles was Sir Charles. He was great for the game and he played the game amazingly.

He was a man of the fans and didn't live a insulated lifestyle like most of these other superstars. He cared about family and fans/friends, a man of the people Sir Charles

My Hero in Basketball was Charles Barkley. I love this Guy at the times i played Basketball . Much love from a Greek Fan. Charles was on the Level of MJ Drexler Malone Pippen etc... he was one the Great ones of the 80s and 90s. Sir Charles Barkley !

Although he was only 6'5" he was physically gifted. He had a 6'11" wingspan and could jump out of the gym for a 250lb player, and clear out space with his low center of gravity. He also intimidated other players and got them off their game.

He is one of the great players that never one a title.

Sir Charles showed great heart in the first championship games 5 & 6 against the Rockets. He was having back pain, but left it all out on the court.

They picked out Charles and he was up for the challenge and gave Teams and the media all they could handle and more..He was just too entertaining and so much fun, Glad Charles happened in my time. Dream Team was the Greatest collection ever!!!

I became interested in college BB when some black guys I worked with turned me on to Charles Barkley. I've been a fan ever since, even during those bad Philly days.
