Today Charles Barkley turns 51. Sometimes he feels like the only clear voice in a sea of talking heads. He keeps basketball fun and interesting both as a commentator as well as when he was playing. He is honest, outspoken, willing to admit his shortcomings and maintains his sense of humor throughout this crazy ride we call life.
He is adored by people from all walks of life and areas of expertise...
Called by many nicknames, Round Mound of rebound could prove to be the one that sticks though. Charles is a man of passions and one I'm sure many can identify with is the passion for good cuisine...
Sir Charles lives by his own ethos, he walks on both sides of the law, he is not a role model, but if you do find yourself looking to him for guidance you're probably doing alright.
Barkley is a man of fashion, not afraid to take risks. He expresses himself as he feels...
Not only does he love his mom (every man should) but he embraces people of all different types.
Sir Charles has a dizzying array of talents beyond the basketball court as well...
Chuck played with an unmatchable intensity and fire. He's one of the best players to ever run the court. He is a man of character, integrity, pride, respect, passion and love. I can't imagine not smiling when he speaks. He's a dreamer, a hall of famer, a husband and a father and much much more. Happy birthday Chuck, you live pure.
