"I just grew up a poor black kid in Alabama with a single mom and two brothers." — Charles Barkley

I remember I'd be sleeping in the airport at 5 o'clock in the morning, traveling three hours, and playing a game that day. We never even chartered until my third year in the NBA.

It drives me crazy when guys making $30 million are complaining about playing basketball two days in a row.

I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.

I really like ESPN. They do a great job.
