Charles Barkley

If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.

Any professional athlete who gets on TV or radio and says he never played with a gay guy is a stone-freakin' idiot.

I really like ESPN. They do a great job.

The Republicans always do a good job of dividing and conquering. They do a really good job of making black folks, poor white folks, and Hispanics not like each other.

If I got a chance to play with another great player, I want to do that. I mean, the objective is to win.

I truly believe that building bridges, not building walls and not giving into fear, will make our communities better.

I'm a mad dog whose only concern is winning.

I know that I'm never as good or bad as any single performance. I've never believed my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena.

I think it's a travesty that the NBA can't just tell these guys to play basketball two days in a row. It's just a joke to me. We flew commercial, and we were able to play back-to-back.

If I'm going to be straightforward, like I always try to be, I know guys are going to come back at me sometimes.

When the cops are trying to arrest you, if you fight back, things go wrong.
