Charles Barkley: Why I can say whatever I want

[@StevenAllotey]

The only time Chuck is biased is when he is talking about those big ole women in San Antonio

[@Krizzee]

What video did he say that line?

[@yobench]

@@Krizzee Many of them, the search bar is your friend. There's no bias though. He gave a very reasonnable explanation for it and even mimed it .. I won't spoil it !

[@LowKeyAMG]

These interviews with him have made me gain a completely new level of respect for him. He seems like a great, humble guy.

[@markaveli17]

LowKey Barkley seems like a good guy too.

[@cocopuff6810]

Me too

[@matthewcornelius3916]

I saw him today and he is One of the nicest and most respectful person ive ever met

[@antoinetbd8016]

You're deranged,,,,the man spit on a girl......and u think he's great? Joke...

[@jimmysapien9961]

Exactly

[@chedderburg]

These athletes make such a difference when they come and see these kids. My brother had cancer when he was 8. We lived in Chapel Hill and he was in UNC hospital for over a year. On Christmas Day 1994 Eric Montross (a Senior at the time) came to the children’s wing and spent over an hour talking and hanging out with my brother. That act meant the world to him and us. Also, he recovered :)

[@gonzbry7272]

Glad to hear he recovered 🙂

[@Hogavich]

Graham what I love about your interview style the most is that you LET PEOPLE TALK! Another great job!

[@MrMars554]

YES!

[@GrahamBensinger]

+Hogavich Thanks!

[@onlyone23km]

I wish I could be interviewed by you! Some reporters just cut you off on the spot and some shorten your statements on the editing room and I have experienced some terrible and some good members of the press. I think you set a good example of how the media should be!

[@wt0729]

Ditto! He puts the interviewee first!

[@onlyone23km]

I'm an athlete and actor on the rise.

[@willjones2328]

Did Charles Barkley just become one of my favorite human beings? I think so

[@neallaroy3557]

Will Jones Frfr Will Jones I really admire him

[@ERNOOO1]

He is my favorite human being for the last 30 years. Unique man

[@abrahamfroman246]

I was a kid when he did the “I’m not a role model” commercial. I liked it, but I didn’t understand it until years later

[@MrAshiq844]

as long as you're not from San Antonio and a big ol woman

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Lol..WTF is WRONG with you?

[@TJaeSpeaks]

Charles Barkley is so honest it is refreshing.

[@hamzaahmed3066]

Charles Barkley also says whatever he wants because he's a big tough guy who has never backed down from anyone. He's not scared to rumble. one of the few celebrities I love/respect

[@quakertown]

What about his situation wth Charles Oakley?

[@quakertown]

Charles Oakley bitchslapped Barkley before and is not afraid to remind him of it any chance he gets. Recently Charles Oakley came out and called Barkley soft

[@mastermillz8486]

wtf are you talking about barkley punched him in the face look at barkley vs oakley fight on yt

[@markjones5757]

+quakertown You do know thay Barkley whooped Oakley's ass off the court once....right.

[@willie838]

@@quakertown s'ok, Barkley is a legend, NBA ambassador, and involved with the league nightly. Oakley's last headline? Getting kicked out of msg like some random drunk. One is classy and one is an embarrassment.

[@PaliAha]

I like Charles's HUMiLiTY & SENSE of HUMOR.

[@michaelweston2285]

no, Charles, that is NOT why you get to say whatever you want. it's because you have CHARM. you're one of the most likeable entertainment figures ever. tons of athletes say what is on their mind and tell the truth and are chastised by it. but you have the best combination of humility, ego, accomplishment, intellect, humor, sass, and charm that make people respect your opinion no matter what it is.

[@aloysiusdevadanderabercrom6401]

That's a great way to put it. And we know Chuck is way too humble in this kind of setting to talk about himself like that. Dude is a class act and if i could spend the day hanging out with one athlete/celeb, he'd be the guy without hesitation.

[@Noctifern]

I met him when I worked at a discount tire in Scottsdale and he was super cool, huge guy was strange seeing him in person

[@Xylti]

That's part of it

[@neonpop80]

Michael Weston Yea but a big part is he doesn’t take it so seriously and is light hearted about it

[@ZhangtheGreat]

He's definitely charming, but what I think the audience appreciates more is that he's not a hypocrite. He dishes the dirt, but he's also not worried about taking it. You see a lot of famous people who can't even take a joke, and Charles can just sit there while everyone around him ribs him for everything from his weight to his acting career to the way he speaks, and he can take every ounce of it without complaining.

[@p2dar2daag90]

What a dynamic, enlightened man he is. Funny, kind, emotional, humble, extremely talented, and down to earth. You’re a hero sir Charles. We love you.

[@bjrmagic1]

This guy is one of the very few respectful interviewers out there..,he is not pushing some weird agenda..just wants to get the truth of stories, unedited...on record for people to hear..really great..

[@davicito4841]

How can you not like sir Charles.

[@jackjackthompson5771]

I love him because he is genuine. He isn’t perfect, doesn’t pretend to be, and is straightforward and no bs. ❤️❤️

[@romerobryan83]

The president of the United States just asked me if I wanted a hot dog... and I did 😂😂😂

I just wanted to say that you are doing a phenomenal job with getting the perspective on great players in the NBA. You're gift to allow the greats on the court, be greats off the court. The questions are always on point and you tap into questions that we the fans want to know and ask. Keep up the awesome work. And thank you for your contributions to the culture of journalism and authenticity.

[@jaehosong29]

no matter how you look at it , basketball is only a game. its a show. its not life or death. its simply an entertainment. Thats why charles is saying that he never really had a JOB.

[@TheeCoachg]

And why he cant take himself so serious.Entertainers bring joy but are not Teachers,Policemen,Firemen or in the Armed Forces.Respect to Sir Charles.

Nope, don't just judge someone on a single video, gain knowledge about this guy ,he's not a good guy and we don't really need people like him

I have always respected Charles for his ability to share his opinions, right or wrong. The courage to do that is noteworthy. Graham your skill in your profession also gains my respect. Kudos

[@orhonnamsiz4318]

Sir. Charles has my respect. I am not a big fan of his basketball game nor his commentary skills, but definitely a huge fan of his personality and humility. He is a great tipper, which says so much about him. Very inspiring.

[@davidyetter5409]

This man is a true inspiration.

[@usmanqureshi8941]

Why he can say whatever he wants: - He's brutally honest - He doesn't care what people think of him - He's not afraid of getting fired

[@michaeld42]

Charles is always speaking TRUTH TO LIFE. Graham is an excellent interviewer. He has mastered the art of listening which is the most important part of communicating. Because if you are always talking you can’t hear anything, just like me in this long winded comment, haha!

You can say all about Sir CHarles, but at least he is an honest man.

[@twilmoth7954]

Hats off Mr, Charles Barkley Leeds Alabama is as he says not too much hope for a lot of people ever leaving there and attaining the position he has now. But to hear him say he never worked is Turrible He had to work hard at the game of basketball putting in the time and effort to aquire the set skills that it takes to enter into the NBA. Had Mr, Barkley not set his mind to the task at hand he would most certainly be still in Leeds Alabama living a life of just existing on the dreary jobs that there are in and around the same area. So in that perspective He worked hard enough to get away from the worst Possible outcomes that people face. You don't have to put yourself out Charles Your Working Hard Now To Help And Entertain People That Is A Great Job And Worthy Of Praise. Thank You Sir

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

"People don't really want to hear the truth." Amen!

[@scuzzbecuzz]

What a grand guy! Has a big heart and while I may not agree with everything he believes, I would be honored to sit down, have a meal with him and hear him discuss his life experiences! Not many folks I could ever say that about but he would be in the top list of people I admire!

[@user-fn5th1zz2s]
