The Top 10 Charles Barkley Quotes From The Dream Team Documentary

Charles Barkley’s gregarious personality is the reason why we love Inside The NBA. The man is brutally honest, personable and unafraid of what people may say or think about him. The man we know now is currently 49 years old. The 29-year-old version who was dominating for the Philadelphia 76ers and would move to the Phoenix Suns? Off the chain.
The Dream Team documentary aired on NBA TV on Wednesday night, and while I’ll probably watch the film another 38 times on my DVR to reminisce on the old footage, the transparent dialogue and talk with my Uncle Bill about the experience 20 years ago, seeing Charles Barkley become the ultimate ambassador for America in Europe was simply amazing. Here are the best ten quotes for Sir Charles from the Dream Team documentary, and if you missed the documentary, then the Lord blessed you, because it’s right here for online viewing. Big ups to @Jose3030 for the video and the photos.
Barkley talking to the press before the first practice:
“Everybody in the world has an ego. The only difference between us is we have a reason to have an ego.”

God bless Charles Barkley.
And man, watching that footage of Barkley going at Malone and especially MJ and Magic really going at it, that was pure gold. Amazing.
That documentary was epic. It was the best I have ever seen. Barkley has been keeping it 100 for a long time now.
I honestly believe that if I knew now what I didn’t know 20 years ago, Charles Barkley would’ve been my favorite player instead of Shawn Kemp and Reggie Miller. A dope ass documentary indeed.

You missed the best one.
Barkley regarding Chuck Daly
“If he can coach those ass_____, he can coach anybody!”
Damn…definitely missed that one. LOL
