Charles Barkley has never been shy about expressing himself. He’s always been willing to speak his mind and he doesn’t much care what anyone thinks about it either.
In the ‘90s, he told parents that he didn’t want to be a role model for their children and that it should really be them instead of him. Hard to argue that really.
After his NBA career ended, Barkley turned into one of the funniest guys on TV on TNT’s Inside The NBA and his back and forth with Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and most of all his foil Shaquille O’ Neal, is TV gold.
