Charles Barkley: Spitting on little girl changed my life

[@jmluc90]

It’s amazing what taking responsibility will do for a person’s life

[@GuyFromTheSouth]

Dude that's so fuckin true man. You make someone take responsibility either. They have to figure it out on their own. I was angry and always threw myself a pity party about being broke. Then I realized I was the problem now good things are happening.

[@hdmf]

Except he didn't.

[@jeremyfinger843]

He self reflected, honestly looked at his situation, and his responsibility. Forgave himself, let go, and moved on. Became free from resentment. Good work sir Charles!

[@zusty9589]

'Self-forgiving' doesn't mean much. We alone can't forgive our own persons for such things. Rather, seeking forgiveness is what's needed.

[@mcsweeney29]

I love Chuck, man. I love his humility and his self-reflection in this interview. It's always so reassuring when someone who's seen as a "prick" or "bad-boy" can reflect on those days and say, "hey, some of this shit I did was stupid. How can i grow from this?"

[@victorkong82]

Chuck is the BEST example of this. It's amazing that the Chuck today, who night after night gets picked on for his weight and laughs it off, is the same Chuck from the '90s.

[@toniallen1130]

I think what I appreciate most about Charles Barkley is that he has learned from his mistakes and owns his responsibility. Those kind of character traits are the best types of role models in my opinion.

[@haikalsusanto3931]

i think tyson did fall off, with him being broke and all

[@internetthug509]

So when were we going to hear the story about when and why he spit on a little girl??

[@Him_Downstairs36]

What I got from these clips is that chuck is able to take step back and assess his behavior, and ultimately change before it ends up costing him everything. A lot of ppl aren’t fortunate enough to have that foresight.

[@mitchlim]

This is an amazing example of self awareness

[@robotone2812]

so few people can come to that kind of realization on their own. kudos to Mr Barkley.

[@MultiRabe]

You know, I remember the spitting incident. And I remember hating Charles Barkley afterwards. I no longer hate him, I just let it go! Im glad he changed shortly after that...and let all that anger go!

[@5alidal]

im glad u changed aswell and let ur anger for Charles go

[@nickjimenez6138]

That hate can drive a person but it will eventually burn you up inside. Taking responsibility for your life can hurt sometimes. But if your great at something letting your talent speak for you is so much more powerful than any cut or dig you could say to someone.

[@markg.1078]

It's good that Mr. Barkley has the ability to reflect on his actions, thus learning from his mistakes. Many people don't have the capacity to do that. In fact they can never do that because they will never admit they are wrong about anything.

[@tootiesmall816]

That so stupid for a groan ass man spit on a little child a need his big as kick to the curb

[@whoopdattrick9390]

Charles is the one guy in media and sports who can say what he wants

[@summerlakephotog8239]

Wow. This is real wisdom. “Let it go❗️”🙏

[@NPI-iz7bg]

I think Charles said hundred times that some events changed his life, or that someone had the best influence on him or someone's best player with whom he played or against..for him everything is the best and biggest..amazing man

[@BigDomski]

Yea he has a great sense of appreciation for not only people but different aspects of life... I've noticed that too

[@NPI-iz7bg]

I hope that in a year or two he will say that the GSW changed his opinion about basketball now and will begin to appreciate a game that is now played with shooters in the main role. Stop compared with past times, players that play now give a little more respect,especially to Curry

Hated him when it happened. Was laid up for 8 months. Amazing the boring shit you will read. Read a piece where the girl, now 14, was not only friends with him but forgave him. Except for his original apology, I had never read nor heard any more about it. I am not gonna lie and say I became his biggest fan. I did, however, forgive him. Now, he is the only thing I find interesting about basketball at the NBA level.

[@starlitshadows]

This goes for life in general not just sports. He got stuck in anger and resentment and let it run his life. But he's right if you let it run you eventually you will fuck up and fall off the cliff. This is why I respect him regardless of his mistakes. Because he was at least able to recognize them and fix them.

Charles, this is a great interview and a great message. Everyone, especially now needs to look in the mirror and as, what can I do differently to make my life and the world a better place. It’s up to each and everyone to take personal responsibility.

[@edb8177]

Wow, imagine that. Accountability! Real talk.

[@AirKangLocker]

I kinda want to see a biopic of charles over MJ...i think it would be more meaningful to reflect the TYPES of hardship barkley had to face over his entire basketball career, and when he finally retired, he got to rethink bout his life and start a new one as a man who is in an environment that needs more control of himself: Commentator on TNT I think it would be much more insightful and less hollywood bullshit since this man had many failures but still keeps going, something we havent seen much on screen and more likely relatable. MJ's story is great but i feel hollywood is just gonna do in 3 stages 1.Early success 2.Gamble issue, James' death and NBA retirement 3. Return to court and 3 peat and happily ever after. End of movie

[@themackguyverchannel7713]

Maybe Mr Gomez wasn’t a basketball fan and didn’t care about Charles’ talent. He only cared about the mission he was given, to teach the young man. It took what, 7-8 years but the lesson sunk in.

[@whatposterman1222]

I think Charles is a super intelligent person with tons of good to say if people just hear him out. We all make mistakes, it’s how you own and learn from them that grows you. Charles seems much bigger on the inside, where it counts, than the outside.

[@SD-th9sp]

You are absolutely right. I love watching he and Shaq clown around on Inside the NBA, but then I watched some 5-6 minute interview of him describing like playing inside in the NBA versus playing outside and defensive shifts and I was blown away. Like, really clear, deep, complex. So, so good.

[@captainlou9677]

I used to hate Barkley back in the 90s. I was living in North Carolina at the time and went to a Hornets game. My buddies and I sat in the first row behind the floor seats. We were trash talking Barkley all night, I was really giving it to him and he wasn't playing well. By the end of the 2nd quarter he had enough of me and gave me a look that said, "I'm coming over there"... well, my buddies and I got a kick out of that and didn't let him off the hook. It was a great night! After that game though, I didn't hate Barkley. And I ended up becoming a big fan of the guy. He grew up and let the world in. Sometimes that's all it takes.
