Words of Wisdom by Charles Barkley

One of my favorite parts of this NBA playoffs is hearing Charles Barkley talk basketball on TNT. Barkley says it like it is and doesn't care who he says it to. All of that turns out to be comical.

Depending on your sense of humor you love his style or you hate it. But what I enjoy is that he's just naturally funny. This is not scripted stuff read off a teleprompter. I doubt he spends his free time thinking of what to say. He just says what comes to his mind and it's funny.

A fellow fan enjoys Barkley one-liners so much that he compiled a list of them. We know Charles likes to talk so it's a fairly long list. Here are some of my favorites.

- At halftime of the all star game, in response to seeing Beyonce in the crowd, Barkley said, "All I wanna know is when ya see someone that pretty, how can you go to Brokeback Mountain?"

- "I love Sam Cassell, he's a great guy... but he does look like E.T."

- "Craig Sager is the only guy on TV that can't get a date. It is almost impossible to be on TV and not be able to get a date."

- When Chuck was asked by the judge if he had any regrets about throwing guy through a window in Orlando he said, "I regret we weren't on a higher floor."

- During the NBA finals, Ernie Johnson points to a sign that reads: "Barkley = Dumb, Van Gundy = Dumber" Barkley responds, "Hey, at least that guy knows who I am. I have no idea who that guy is."

- After Ben Gordon made a floater in the Bulls vs. Cavs game...

Charles: That is one shot that every player should learn

Kenny: Yea I am teaching my daughter and son that shot.

Charles: I thought your daughter and son were the same person.

There's even a running joke this week about Barkely trying to describe an up tempo game. He said "varn vurner" instead of "barn burner". He tried a couple times to say it correctly but couldn't. They haven't let him live that down all week.
