Like it or not, NBA analyst and former basketball great Charles Barkley has become one of the most prominent figures in sports television today. Barkley can credit his ascension to the throne of TV fame (or perhaps infamy) to a series of sensationalist viewpoints, raunchily contrarian quotables, self-deprecating banter, and countless memorable foot-in-mouth moments. Not to forget that he speaks his mind 100 percent of the time and stubbornly sticks to his (often antiquated) guns like Douglas MacArthur. He made it this far by being completely and unequivocally Chuck and don’t expect him to change any time soon. If Barkley’s remarks over the weekend are any indication, we definitely don’t need to worry about that.
