Danh ngôn của Charles Barkley (Sứ mệnh: 5)

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.
You know it's going to hell when the best rapper out there is white and the best golfer is black.
Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.
These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it.
The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.
Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny.
See, my hope and dream is that people have a good time watching basketball. It's not church. It's not serious.
One thing about being famous is the people around you, you pay all their bills so they very rarely disagree with you because they want you to pick up the check.
I live in Arizona. I think the Hispanic people are amazing. I think when people talk about illegal immigration... it does them a disservice.
When you steal from somebody, you are saying to them, 'I don't respect how hard you worked for your money.' When somebody steals from you, that's what they're saying.
I think sports has done a disservice for a lot of black kids thinking they can only be successful through athletics and entertainment. I want them to know they can be doctors, lawyers, teachers, fireman, police officers, etc.
My idea of religion is we are supposed to bring people together. We are not supposed to judge other people.
If I got a chance to play with another great player, I want to do that. I mean, the objective is to win.
If you get a chance to play with great players, that's half the battle.
I've always said that: 'We as black people, if you want respect, you have to give each other respect.' You can't demand respect from white people and the cops if we don't respect each other.
I respect and admire what cops do.
One of the reasons I don't trust the media is you can't have a double standard for guys you like and dislike.
I love sports because it takes me away from reality, and I tell people, 'No matter how bad your life is, if you are having problems at home, you are having problems at work, that's the beauty of sports.'
I got some cash from agents. I've talked to the NCAA. I think that should be legal. I want some money, too; everybody else is making money. I want to go on dates. I want to go buy myself some new suits. I want to buy myself some new sneakers, and I paid the agents back.
'War Eagle' is like 'I love you.'
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.
