Dizzy Dean when he and his brother Paul were pitching for the Cardinals back in the late 40's early 50's once said, "Me and Paul are going to both pitch no hitters in tomorrows double header." A reporter challenged him that he was bragging which he answered, "It ain't bragging if you can do it."

The next day Dizzy pitched a no hitter and his brother pitched a one hitter.

Charles Barkley in an interview with Playboy magazine when he left Philly for Phoenix.

Set up: at the time MLK holiday was not a federal holiday, although every state recognized the day other than Arizona.

Interviewer: How do you feel about coming to play in the only state that does not recognize MLK Jr. holiday.

Barkley: I love it here. I am a Republican. The state is mostly Republican. I fit in well here. Also, with the amount of money they are paying me to play ball here I would play for the KKK.

Someone said of Oscar Gamble, "Oscar is so old that when he broke into the majors, he was a Negro", the joke being that the term 'Negro' had been replaced by "Black" and then 'African-American".

That might be the best one ever. McKay about his own team and Spurrier about his rivals were the greatest quote machines of all time.

As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me - red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game.

Anything by Charles Barkley.

He has hundreds.

49. "You got to believe in yourself. Hell, I believe I'm the best-looking guy in the world and I might be right."

39. "Every time I think about changing a diaper, I run a little bit harder and a little bit faster to make sure I can afford a nanny until my daughter's old enough to take care of that herself."

36. Ernie Johnson, on Reggie Evans being caught grabbing the rocks of Chris Kaman: "(Reggie Evans) got caught with his hand in the cookie jar."Charles Barkley: "Ernie, I don't know where you get your cookies at but the rest of us don't get ours there."

29. Charles Barkley on his thoughts about retiring before the season: "I remember sitting down with the Rockets and saying, 'Yeah. I'm going to retire.' They said, 'Well, we'll give you $9 million.' And I said, 'You got a pen on you?'"

26. "If you go out with a girl and they say she has a great personality, she's ugly. If they tell you a guy works hard, he can't play a lick. Same thing."


25. After Kevin Garnett threw a ball into the crowd out of frustration and was ejected. They showed footage of the man that got hit by the ball being taken away in a stretcher and his daughter was crying. Charles commented that players take passes to the face all the time. He topped it off by saying: "You know why that little girl's crying? It's because she's thinking 'my daddy's a wussy'".

16. Barkley on Hanno Mottola, who, as EJ remarked "is the first NBA player from Finland". Charles replies: "Of course he is the first NBA player from Finland, he's the only person in Finland."

14. "All I know is, as long as I led the Southeastern Conference in scoring, my grades would be fine."

7. "When I was recruited at Auburn [university], they took me to a strip joint. When I saw those titties on Buffy, I knew that Auburn met my academic requirements."

6. "Hey Stanley, you could be a great player if you learned just two words: I'm full."— Barkley yelling to 300-plus-pound Houston Rockets teammate Stanley Roberts



1. After an Olympic Dream Team victory over Angola, in which they won 116-48, Charles got into a physical altercation with a member of Angola towards the end of the game, afterwards he says.

"Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a couple weeks. I thought he was going to pull a spear on me."

“It’s awfully important to win with humility. It’s also important to lose. I hate to lose worse than anyone, but if you never lose you won’t know how to act. If you lose with humility, then you can come back.” -Bear Bryant
