"Because of that little stupid ball...I've had one of most amazing lives a person could have." He's incredibly humble
Yeah, that part touched me too, and how he was so thankful for those who paved the way for him.
Hey kris Charles is awesome he’s actually a very intelligent man he really is and a lot he says is on point
@@jayroush7192 yes Sir Charles I wish you could have got a ring though well at least he in the Hall of Fame he got that yellow
I actually hate when he disrespects basketball like that.
@@L4-295 - It's a game, it's entertainment, not world changing.
Charles is funnier than most comedians and he's not even trying lol
Charles easily would have been a comedian if he wasn't in the NBA hahahaha
Compared to Shaq he's f'n Ricard Pryor.
That is so true.
He speaks the truth no filter thats why😂
Yeah, he has that great combination of really not giving a … what he says and at the same time doing this with grace and without being a shithead.
“My friends are poor” Charles really the national treasure 😂
Correction, 'my friends are PO' lol
@@217ShowOffBoii 😂
Ay, he just being honest💯🤣
Again with “The National treasure” … could you at least come up with something more original
When he says poor he probably means they earn like 100k a year or something, which is loose change to someone like Chuck
Charles had a rough childhood, and turned out an icon. Dude is hilarious, love watching him and Shaq going back and forth. They need a sitcom ool
What would the sitcom be named?
Huge props to Chuck for dropping all that weight recently, he looks great for 60. Both him & Shaq are a real inspiration for me personally regarding all facets of life. 👊🏻
First thing I noticed was how much slimmer he was. Good for him!!
Magic Johnson’s in pretty good shape too
I love to see it. Chuck doesnt hide the fact that he loves to eat. Many of us do. And that makes it hard to lose weight and stay healthy. To see that he has been able to achieve star athlete status despite his love for food is truly a show of discipline. And now that he is older and can tap into that discipline is great to see
Salute and I wish you nothing but the best man.
@@TAJY26 I hate to break it to you, but it isn’t discipline on his end.
I so admire Charles' respect for those NBA giants who came before.Truly a class act.
Do you admire Charles for making fun of overweight women while the rest of them laugh?
@@janetpartyka5968 do you want a bowl or pan for those tears?
@@janetpartyka5968 you must be from San Antonio
You must be one of those big ol women from San Antonio
@@markalvintancreencia2184 🤣🤣🤣
he turns 60???? man, he looks amazing!!!!
Man I love Charles he’s such a treasure man!!!
Ohh Charles❤😅I Luv u Babe way u been all my life iam 90 and u were born Two yes B4 me,Hope u never pass! my way🤗😇😇😇
Mr Barkley is a solid human. So great.
Never a dull moment with chuck 😂
How many guests greet Guillermo? 5/100? Chuck is not only great at his job and hilarious but also great human being.
Charles Barkley looks like he never gets old. The guy just turned 60 but he still looks like he is in his late 40s.
People in their late 40s look much older than him around here. If I didn't know his age, I'd guess he's not 40 yet
Charles Barkley is awesome
I find it oddly awesome and hilarious his favorite band is the eagles. What a rad dude
IDC What anyone says... Charles is the 🐐 sports analyst on tv ever... So level Headed and aware, when needed and ALWAYS hilarious. No one comes close in any other sport. That TNT crew is awesome
All you need to know about Charles Barkley could be surmised out of one sentence. "I went up to Kareem and said MR. Jabbar" WOW 😊
HE was the best thing that happened to Phoenix when he came here. He's the reason we got the new arena and the Suns were so much fun to watch! Came close to getting his ring and a championship for PHX, but nevertheless, his coming here started the change in our city that's been going on since.Thanks Chuck!
Don't forget Kevin Johnson, who was a personal friend of my brother.
We in Philly were pissed that he left. Still miss him.
That team was ruthless!
@@waryaawariiri1812 KJ fumbling the ball late in game 6 against the bulls🤬
He and the Suns were good but the games I went to when they played the Lakers was bad news for them. I was a LA girl living in Phoenix.
How could you not like this guy! Shaq and Barkley are funny as hell!
I think Charles Barkley might be one of Jimmy Kimmel's most favourite guests on the show all time.
You think that because you’re a Charles Barkley fanboy!
And Conan's!
@@high-defRJ Obviously you're a fanboy too!
I was a huge fan during his time in Houston Rockets in late 90s. I was in high school and the team's posters were all over my locker. I am all 😁 now just remembering that. Teenage years.
Yes! Him and his very good friend Kobe Bryant. I was so sad watching Jimmy explaining how important he was to him and how they first met 💔🙏🏼
“We normally work one day in a row.” 😂 That’s the part that made me laugh the loudest 😂
I encourage everyone to watch "All The Smoke" with Barkley. Its 2 hours of him talking about everything hes done and learned over the years. A really good interview. All I can say is that Charles is a national treasure.
The first time i've actually heard him speak. I don't watch basketball, and well, the man is awesome. So humble and thoughtful.
I would have never guessed Charles' favorite band was The Eagles lol that's awesome.
It's nice to see someone with money, who actually deserves it. But, it's even more beautiful to see how humble he still remains about it all. A national treasure indeed.
Who's to say who deserves money or not, you either earn it or you don't.
@@walkdeep No, there are Kardashians in this world. Not everybody with lots of money deserves it. Charles was a very talented athlete, he's an amazing entertainer, and he gives back. That's someone who deserves it.
@@dv8smr The kardashians wouldn't earn a thing if people didn't enjoy watching them. So unless someone steals money from people or is dishonest in earning it, they deserve it.
@@walkdeep THANK YOU!! If people didn't give them the time of day they wouldn't have the lifestyle they have..
@@walkdeep I agree with you.. Who do people think they are to say what someone deserves to make and not make.. If you earn your money why should it be a problem??
Charles Barkley is a funny guy. I'd pay to listen to him tell stories for an hour. 'An Evening with Charles Barkley'.
He has a podcast with his TNT cohost Ernie Johnson!
Mr Barkley. Thanks for being Barkley. Over the years, I have grown to like you. You look too good for 60.
Man is such a loveable oaf. Always enjoy watching him.
Charles has been through alot in his 60 years but he's always been genuine and fearless about speaking his mind.
@dcasey2574/THAT IS WHAT I ADMIRE ABOUT CHARLES BARKLEY. HE'S GENUINE & FEARLESS.
Chuck spitting facts, wisdom and funny stories in one sitting. Love how he lifts the seniors of NBA.
Big Papa ❤️. It's heartwarming to see Barkley's smile talking about his grandson.
Write me ❤👆👆
The Round Mound of Rebound. Friggin’ love Sir Charles. G*d Bless the man who declared “I am not a role model.” Dude has kept it 100 forever.
Also: Milk-Dud Head
I love chuck. Always unfiltered and honest with his answers. Dude don't hold nothing back
Jimmy should get Ernie Johnson as a Guest. We have seen Jimmy Kimmel on the Steam Room Session with Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson. Jimmy should return the favour. That man has more funny stories to tell about Shaq and Barkley on the show and how he manages both of them while also managing to host the show.
No second wasted in this interview. Chuck is so interesting to watch as always.
Charles Barkley is by far my favorite guest that you have on this show! Him and Shaquille O’Neal are just unbelievably good at being talkshow guest. Great conversation, Jimmy!
I've always been a big fan of Charles. Pretty much always tells you what he thinks while still showing respect.
Write me❤👆👆
I Always Liked Charles Barkley So Much
Do you capitalize every word, all the time?
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 Yes I Usually Like To Capitalize Every Word
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 All The Time
People from Arizona talk about Charles Barkley the way he talks about Arizona. Dude is awesome and will gladly take a photo with you if you ask him, and he's always out and about so people meet him all the time when he's here.
Chuck is so funny to watch on NBA on TNT. He's probably the coolest person to those who have met him. He's look in better shape then before. Him and Shaq are my favourite people to watch every time because they make me laugh whenever they crake jokes at each other.
He’s on Mounjaro. It’s in the same class as Ozempic. He’s lost around 60 lbs so far.
Sir Charles never aged. He looks fabulous.
Chuck is such a genuine guy, just a good funny dude.
Love how Charles is so genuinely honest!
I was 10 yrs old when Kareem Abdul Jabbar was in his best form in the late 70s. Being petite and short I was constantly bullied by boys in school and taunted me by calling me “Jabbar”. Little did they know it made me feel like I was as tall as Kareem because I was a big fan. It helped me overcome the bullying. The name stuck and old friends still call me Jabbar. I was so thrilled when I got to see and touch the statue of his likeness at Staples Center. How I wish I could meet him in real life.
My favorite player growing up. Just makes watching sports so much more fun. Such a fantastic classy guy with so much respect for the older players. Never stop being you my man!
My favorite player as well. 🏀
Definitely. Him, Patrick Ewing, and Michael Jordan. 🏀❤
My Favorite Player Period❤
"We normally work one day in a row..." -Chuck Lol
I would've never guessed that Charles Barkley is a huge Eagles fan.
Same here.... but he grew up in Alabama 😏
I could not help but smile - The Eagles are my favorite group. So many hits; such great storytelling in their songs.
People seem to be confused on weather you mean the sports team or the bang. I personally think you mean the band, I love me some hotel California
Charles Barkley is one of the best TV personalities in sports. Him, Shaq, Kenny Smith & Ernie Johnson always make me laugh on TNT.
Damn, Barkley., Looking healthy and fit, and your humility and gratitude are inspiring! Great interview.
I love that Chuck is doing more interviews. This and the all the smoke podcast are gold
That All The Smoke podcast was great. The dude is so honest, yet humbled by it all.
13:33 "if he wants all this damn money"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I moment i see charles on TV he brings smile on my face.
I truly enjoy listening to Barkley speak. Insightful and genuinely funny
One of my favorite players of all time. Not because he’s funny but because despite having no rings, he was a beast during the Jordan era. It’s a shame I never got to see him play
He looked like a linebacker out there. Big and fast. Just crazy how he was short for the NBA, especially for his position, yet still got an MVP.
I love this man. He is so funny and very charming!
Sir Charles is one of the best things to ever happen to tv, in his playing career and out.
He’s still so handsome!
Charles Barkley is my favourite NBA superstar .. a monster when he was a player, a great athlete and thanks to Ernie and TNT for recruiting him in the show because we saw how funny he is .. he had a big heart .. Sir Charles happy birthday
I'm from the Netherlands and a big chuck fan, watch all his clips back on KZhead 😂
Love Sir Charles, always funny and a big heart!
Charles is amazing. I've always been a huge fan of his and it's great to see him looking healthier again. God bless you Charles!
Chuck is too cool.
Chuck's love for little Henry is so cute
Finally, somebody worth watching!:)
or...you could get a life!
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 I can just take yours.
Sir Charles was a killer on the court. He now tells it like it is on TNT-NBA and makes us all happy with laughs.
Charles is the best. NBA on TNT is better than a lot of non sports shows.
Barkley has the most natural charm, charisma and quickest wit. He should be acting in comedies.
I love the story he told last time he was on about going to the Chinese man's funeral. He had just randomly met him at a bar and they became friends
“My friends are paw”. Hysterical
Finally Charles Barkley on the show i have been waiting for him to comeback 🔥👌
Sir Charles is one of my top 3 favorite players. Humble, but he always speaks his mind.
Charles is the funniest dude on earth without even trying😂😂
3-13-23 Charles Barkley has aged like a connoisseur of fine wine manship.
Honesty and open … WHAT A DELIGHTFUL MAN
Another great interview from CHUCK... I don't ever seen him give a bad one.
What a lovely man
I LOVE CHARLES BARKLEY! MY ALABAMA brother from another Mother!
This man is a national treasure- we must protect him at all costs.....one of the last people to tell it like it is and not care.
Don't follow basketball, but what got me onto Barkley was his golf swing. Used to make me pee in my pants; could never get enough of it. Then I started to listen to him. He's funny, but he also has insight (and appreciation for those who came before; love that). Then when I started watching clips of his TNT show - how CRAZY those guys are - I really got to like him. I almost wish I followed the sport just to see him more. Really a cool guy.
He's the most honest man on Television
Love Chuck!💯
Good "old" Charles, he's always fun to have around. He's been making me laugh for 40 years.
Happy Birthday 🎂 Sir Charles 👑
Barkley had the greatest all-star game performance in a game that I've ever seen! He took over that game. He was such an undersized forward, heightwise, but dominated the court.
God bless Charles Barkley and his family. Good man.
How the heck does Chuckie Barkley stay so young. He doesn't look a day older than when he retired from the game a few decades ago.
Shaq joining inside the nba was one of the top 5 greatest things on TV all time
Charles Barkley might be one of the greatest humans to play prof sports. Real talk seems like an amazing human
Charles Barkley is classic 🏀👍
I respect everyone more that shakes Guillermo's hand.
The one who calls himself "Not a roel model" is actaully the best role model
"We only work like one day in a row" Sir Charles - 2023
Charles Barkley has a podcast series with Ernie Johnson called “The Steam Room” that is absolutely phenomenal. I recommend it to anyone interested in the Chuckster and his ramblings
Where to listen 😂😂😂to
Life is about respect, don't forget it. Love sir Charles
Greatest comedian of all time. The chuckster. The round mound of rebound
🥱
This guy has a genuine warmth about him.
We need more people in this world like Charles Barkley
Charles Barkley it’s one of the most exceptional public figures in America today. Charles always speaks from the heart. He speaks the truth and he cares about others.
Grew up in Philly with him on the '76ers and met him twice socially and he is a trip and a half ... absolutely charming always!
I also met him in Philly at a golf tournament and he was very kind and charming off the court.
Can get enough of him and Shak stories ❤️🤣
I love Chucky personality and alway funny and a great guy...🥰😄🤣
God, I love Charles Barkley. He is so funny and otherwise awesome.. That was really fun to watch. My birthday is the day after his, and I will be 59. I moved to Hawaii from the Phoenix area almost 13 years ago and love Hawaii but also loved living in Tempe, AZ. I am a huge basketball fan, and the Lakers are my team. My favorite basketball player of all time is Magic Johnson, but I also love Kareem and agree that he should be honored during All Star week(end). I have a Kereem story that is not as good as Chuck's, but I like it. I lived in LA in my twenties and attended Lakers games as often as I could. The players often came out on the court before games to meet fans, and I was there once before a game when Kareem showed up. We were standing next to each other, and I used my hands to measure my waist and then his thigh and made the point that my waist was the same size as his thigh. (I am 5'4" and weigh about 110 pounds). He looked down at me and smiled and patted me on the head, as if to say, "Aw, isn't she cute?" I was thrilled, obviously. : ) Finally, I also agree with everything Chuck said about the Lakers and the Suns. I will support the Lakers but would not be sad if Phoenix won with KD. Again, that was really fun to watch. Thanks. : )
