I was a big fan of Charles Barkley as a player for the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers from 1984 to 1992 until he was traded to Phoenix and then Houston. Perhaps only overshadowed on my list of favorite all time ballers by Michael Jordan who started the same year and simply became the best basketball player ever. I've always been a fan of Barkley's candor. My friend Joe sent me a link to this article. It's a great read. He truly tells it like it is. Refreshing and funny. Enjoy.
