Gave you your 100th like 👍
I’ve always loved Charles. Saw him play many times in his prime when he was with Philadelphia. My daughter gave me a book one year that Charles had written & was edited by Michael Wilson “I may be Wrong, but I Doubt it”. Vintage Charles. Tells it like it is.
Honest? come on, man,his false advertisement of subway sandwiches, knowing that he will never buy and eat a subway sandwich with all those millions is sad..
Love me some Chuck and have since the 80s
It’s hard not to love Sir Charles. The fact that he realizes that luck had a big impact on how his life turned out says a lot about him.

Chuck said at the end of this video, "I want them to say "man, I'm gonna miss Charles" well, you got millions of people who will be saying that once you're gone, Chuck.. We love you Charles Barkley!
We’ll miss him when he retires from broadcasting.
I never want to return to this comment or thought because it’s too true. Losing him will be tragic in every sense of the word
It's nice to see how grateful he is. A lot of people who make it big and come from humble beginnings forget that.
I think many people just see him as a tv personality and do not know how ferocious he was as a player.
Some young people today watch his highlights and gain respect for him. Barkley's Suns were 1pt away from beating Jordans Bulls for a ring. He got MVP that year in '93 because without him, Phoenix would have been almost dead last in the West. His defense from rebounds and blocking always put them into better positions to win.
I think many people know how ferocious he was as a player and do not know dumb you are as a KZhead commentor
I remember in ‘93 when I was a young 21 year old and was ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED when they lost to the Bulls. Barkley in those playoffs (not just the finals) showed how GREAT a player he was. That game 7 against Seattle when he had 44/24😤❤
(i’m sure Shaquille O’Neal knows exactly how ferocious he is ) I sure wish King Charles would quit playing and knight this guy already
@@dbsti3006 No they weren't. MJ never once played a game in the Finals facing elimination.
Man, I'ma miss Charles. Honestly. He is so self aware of himself and his status. The word 'legend' gets thrown around so loosely these days, but he really is one.
And the fact that he’s just a humble, genuine guy and never forgot his roots…definitely will be missed when that day comes.
Why are you going to miss him? I think he’s quite healthy enough to live a pretty long life, he’ll probably live to bury the rest of us.,lol
@@yell0wberry Watch the end of the video and listen to what he says. I know he's healthy.
Why are you missing him already? He is still alive and he's not sick.
@@PapagenoMF Watch the end of the video....
Barkley was the only one of Jordan's friends to tell him why the Hornets suck. Jordan hasn't spoken to him in 12 years. Everyone needs that one friend to hit you with truth once in a while.
and what's worse? The Hornets *STILL* suck ahahha
@@sejuanisupportonly7385 Barkley explains it well in other interviews. He said "why would anyone flying private jets and living lavishly off of Jordan ever tell him the truth? They really like their jobs there and don't want to risk pissing him off. Thats why nobody tells him the truth. As Jordan's friend...I will. Hopefully he talks to me again one day, but I won't change my opinion just to please him."
To me it always showed MJ was insecure as an owner, making the big decisions and running a whole team. If you're secure in what you're doing, you laugh the chatter off and keep your friends.
@SuperRobertoClemente yeah MJ was still too obsessed with winning and didn't realize his way of running things didn't work in the new NBA. He was always cheap as an owner anyways.
@@toastedt140 He also wasn't great with draft picks, the magical gift that the NBA sends to crap teams.
Charles is incredibly smart in terms of serious stuff.
He's telling the truth that he appreciates the luck he's been given. I saw him at a grocery store outside of Philly. He came in and said hello to everyone and shook people's hands. It was pretty cool that he enjoyed being recognized and saying hello back to people.
Hes absolutely correct w the hotel workers and kudos to him.
there are stories of hotel workers and valets and other working class folks meeting Barkley and talking about how much of a humble and personable guy he was NPR had a story of Barkley striking up a friendship with a Chinese man just so randomly. They met at a hotel bar and they talked for like hours about basketball. The Chinese guy ended up going all the way to Leeds, Alabama to attend the funeral of Barkley's mom. Barkley went out of his way to repay the favor when the man died and attended his funeral in like Iowa or something. it really speaks to his character
CB is so humble and appreciative. What a great human being. How can you not like a guy that is so honest and willing to take criticism.
About twelve years ago, I was on a lunchtime walk with two of co-workers in midtown Atlanta. One of them looked to her left and saw Charles standing in front of the hotel where he staying. I assume he was waiting for his ride to the studio. I walked back and asked Charles for a picture. He took the picture with one of my coworkers without hesitation. I had the confidence to approach him because l saw online previously a video with fans talking about how approachable Charles is if you are respectful to him.
I enjoyed the interview and remembered him in many games long before his retirement. He was always an aggressive player who was no lucky enough to gain a championship and ring. You're awesome, Mr. Barkley! 👏💎
He's a champion in life. He's the real deal. I've lived in Phoenix my whole life. Some of his best years playing were here. He still has a home here. Phoenix loves Charles!
1 Corinthians 13: 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,but do not have love (love =God), I gain nothing.
charles is a genuine guy.
Met chuck at the '96 olympics. Down to earth is an understatement
Charles is the definition of what a sportscaster is suppose to be Honest. Like it or not he tells it like it is. I respect that. Thank you Sir Charles. Wishing you and your family and friends Happiness,prosperity and good Health
A man like Charles moves the sport of basketball or any sports in way that makes you feel like competitiveness builds a positive character.
The ending was brutal 💀 Good Ol’ Charles.
Charles is as real as it gets, love that guy.
I’ve watched his whole career. Loved him on that court and love him even more now as a sports analyst/personality. He has always made me gravitate towards his tenacity on that court whilst I was a young man. Had all his shoes growing up. Boy he will be missed dearly when time catches up on him. A one of a kind man.
He was just as good if not better as an NBA player than as a broadcaster. His blunt honesty and personality is something this country is lacking and why he makes great TV. Love to hear his takes and opinions because you know it’s real
One of the most genuine guys out. Whether you like his opinion or not, he's always genuine in his expression.
gotta love chuck. always telling it like it is. easily one of the funniest and most humble dudes on TV today. The dude was an absolute beast on the court back in the day.
"I went to all black schools and asked them "How many of you wanna play in the NBA? 90% of them raised their hands. Then I asked how many wanted to be doctors and lawyers? Maybe 5% raised their hands. Not even 1% of them would make it to the NBA, and its disappointing that they dont even know that. I was lucky." - Charles Barkley being 100% real.
Charles wasn't lucky. He was unbelievably talented. Less than 1% has the talent that he has but, they don't realize that!!
@@jamesspalten5977 I believe he means he was lucky to have been gifted with that talent.
As an Arizonan and Suns fan, I always appreciated his skill in the game, but I think I like him even more now for everything else. I wish politicians were so levelheaded as him. God bless you, Charles!
I have to be brutally honest, I really wished that interview never ended
I went to Alabama but I grew up in the state, and even though Charles went to Auburn I have so much respect for him because he truly does care about the people back home. He does so much for the state of Alabama whether it be through charitable contributions, speaking engagements, encouraging people to get vaccinated, etc, etc.
Man is One of a kind.... Unfortunately in today's world Men like him are few and far between.....Sir Charles...The WORLD will MISS him when he is GONE....Till Then we get to enjoy his GREATNESS....
Such a genuine and humble guy. I like his take and some of the nicknames he has for people on inside the NBA. I'd like to shake his hand one day.
When you see Barkley out in the world. He's almost always by himself. No Entourage. No hangers on just Barkley without any distractions. People come up to him ask for autographs pictures. Unless he's eating his pretty much cool with people. He's definitely a one of a kind.
Alive in the time of a living Legend. Never see another like him, a wild yet humble man. Charles has done it right..
Chuck and his old teammates/friends ❤😍
Charles Barkley won the biggest title of them all, and this is the Olympic Gold Medal with the Dream Team in Barcelona ´92. Its bigger than an NBA title, which its just a national championship. There is no bigger award than winning representing your country in the olympics, and not only that, he was the best player on that team. A lot of people have won NBA titles, but to be the best player and to win gold with the original "Dream Team" is something that only Charles has. And a lot of players have been selected to represent the US at national championships, basketball teams etc, but to have played and won with the DREAM TEAM, the biggest team ever asambled is something thats bigger than everything.
I believe he played a significant role on the dream team to backup your point. 💯
I mean being on the dream team was amazing, but they were playing against inferior competition. Beating MJ would have meant 1000x more, it would have put him on the mount rushmore of basketball had he won a ring or 2. Charles was my favorite of the 90s after Bird was gone.
@@blackpow3r He lead the Dream Team in points scored.
@@Turk_2023 To me, Barkley is to the NBA what Dan Marino is to the NFL; Amazing players that never won the big one but carry a legacy just as big as the legends who did.
@@joeyzapata6786 There you go that's it
And we will miss Charles, when he's no longer with us. I used to live in Alabama and have talked to several people who have interacted, hung out, and met him. Not a single bad thing was ever said about their experience with him. Everyone says that he is the most generous famous person they've ever encountered, both with his time and his money.
Barkley understands the world. So humble.
Man, imma miss Charles when he’s gone!
We will miss you, sir. It's not easy to tell it like it is...and you are the best.
Charles humbleness is amazing. He’s absolutely hilarious too. Funny thing is I am to young to remember Charles as a basketball player but his work on TNT and in the media is how I will remember him which is crazy since he’s a HOFer. Point is he’s just as great in entertainment as he was a basketball player
I'ma miss Charles if he goes before I do. Bill Burr. Chris Rock. Sandler. Legend. Magic. I am lucky to have been born when television really took off. When I was a kid, we had 4 channels - maybe a 5th if the rabbit-ears antenna was pointed the right way. Anyone remember those? I grew up watching 80s basketball and football and golf. Those guys were my heroes. My only regret or disappointment about Charles Barkley is never getting to play golf with him. That would'a been a great day.
One of my favorite players and my favorite pundit. Long may TNT inside the NBA continue with this quartet.
I have always been a fan of this man. Love my Spurs, but he really gets it! Saw him play in person many times in his prime and he always gave max effort.
“Im glad that SOBs gone” the greatest line ever
Charles Barkley is the GOAT
Charles Barkley is THE BEST sports analyst on ANY network! Love listening to him because he is totally honest!
One of the greatest man I know. Thank you for everything you’ve done for our generation.
Chuck may not have rings, but he’s a true treasure that doesn’t take himself seriously that has straight facts. #LEGEND
Love this guy! He's real and he's humble...how good is that?
I hate basketball, but I love to watch TNT. Charles is a humble guy. I love the fact that he doesn't think he's better than anyone and he's brutally honest.
What a class act! I wish he was my dad!
What a lovely man, love Charles Barkley. Keeping it real! Great interview.
This is probably the only time when NBA MVP turned out to be Prime Time TV MVP caliber personality. He might be better at his 2nd job which is crazy.
The definition of humble.
I loved Charles before, and I adore him even more now. He is so right about how much work everyday people put into their jobs and how lucky he was to be able to do what he did because of the God given gifts.
With what Charles has done for basketball in his generation and this generation as an analyst. He is just as important to the game as Jordan
We’ll all miss CB! Class act and one of the true good guys in this country.
Love his honesty and sense of humor.
CB tells it like it is and doesnt sugar coat it. good person to get advice from. first time i heard of him was at a lakers game 76ers in la i think it was like '89. they beat the lakers. he was loved then even. Even my own friend betraying me going for him. but not me Magic fan through and through.
Honor to listen to Barkley speak.
This guy is a marketing machine. He states the obvious and all of a sudden he's the voice of truth and a national treasure.
Nah, he is good-he cuts to the truth.
So tell me right now who in this world is willing to state the obvious and tell the truth? Religious leaders, politicians, business leaders, billionaires, corporations, news media, celebrities, big pharma? You may think its obvious, but the problem with the world is even though we all know what the truth is, the people with the power rarely tells the truth.
Meanwhile you're writing comments on youtube. Whats you're point lol
I say that to my boy all the time “Keep making us proud son”
I remember watching him play center at Auburn his freshman year, not even 6'5", much shorter than the other centers in the league and he usually dominated them, even being way over weight.
Man, I'm going to miss Charles Barkley. An honest gentleman.
No one can hate Charles Barkley he is one of the best.
Where’s the full interview?
This man is a national treasure, he is humble, responsible, entertaining, likable, charismatic, and he just always has such a happy personality about him, especially since his little grandson was born, ''Little Henry,'' as he calls him. 03/29/2023, 5:50am
Chuck is real! love u chuck!
Sir Charles Priceless! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Dude charles is the king!
Always wonderful and honest! 🤩
True icon of the game, both on and off the court.
Never change chuck , the goat of TV
❤ Charles Barkley; What a mighty good man!
I will indeed miss Charles.
Charles Barkley is a Hall of Famer !! He was an NBA superstar. He was a member of the Dream Team along with NBA superstars Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and others.
He's authentic. Real and sincere.
Typical Barkley, he will never change!! I love this clip!!!
Chuck is a national treasure and we should protect him at all costs
Lol. Hes a clown
Stop the pathetic hyperbole
Marcus, stop posting that stupid comment..! It’s so old about every person who talks on tv
It's impressive to see how Charles grew so much as a human being over his lifetime.
Charles is always a great interview. I’ve always enjoyed him in all his endeavors but especially when he played with the 76ers. It’s a shame he he couldn’t get a championship trophy. I’ve heard his golf swing has gotten better since the hip replacement.
Chuck is da realest most straight forward no BS guy
Charles is great. Watched all his games when he was at Philly.
Love Sir Charles.
The Best of the Best...Love this Guy...JJ
A genuine person.
Sir Charles is THE MAN. People who live in the Phoenix area BEEN knowin this!!! 😅👍
Love Sir Charles…there is NOTHING disingenuous about him. I’m not certain if he’s a dad (not a father but a DAD) but if he’s not…the world will be a lesser place. Whatever he’s got…needs to be passed on. He’d be a superb role model and his children and their friends would be extremely fortunate.
And Charles delivered the eulogy for his friend Lin.
Respect!
I absolutely love Charles Barkley.
Legend
🙏💝💜💖🇨🇺🇯🇲🇺🇲 GREETNS WORLD, Charles Barkley(CHAMPIONS BEST) ME LOVE U PERIOD!
Wow it's great to see Chuck in Leeds. He is always talking about it.
I have Charles Barkley. He is always honest and being himself. I laugh all the time when I went NBA on TNT.
It’s 2023 CBS, post the whole thing free. Stop playing.
i like that chuck is appreciative of what was given to him.
A great philosopher❤
We love you Chuck! More please😊😊😊😊
If you thought this clip was good, do yourself a favor and watch old clips of him playing with the Sixers, Suns, and Rockets. This man could PLAY!! Unbelievable talent. What he adds to Inside the NBA can’t be replicated by others. Charles has the “IT FACTOR”.
Back in the old days I went many Jazz Chuck was playing for the Suns at that time I harshed on him as loud I could and loved him at the same Always wished Utah could have signed him A little baggage but, we all got that I'd buy sir Charles a beer and a cigar to this day
Sir Charles is REAL!!!!! and a GOAT.... Watching him on NBA shows with Shaq makes me so happy and out of breath from laughing too much. Especially about Big Ole San Antonio women eating "Churros" hahahaha
