What is it exactly? Why is this guy everywhere, and why do people care what he thinks?

I've heard "Well he says what he means, and he doesn't care about what people think." I guess that's a somewhat admirable trait, but what does it matter if you're an idiot?

He just seems to be a genuinely good guy. Seems to be funny, laid-back, and the type of guy you would grab a beer with.

Because right or wrong he usually speaks what is on his mind.

He is a good guy...He came into a club I was at in Bham and bought the bar for everyone for two hours. It was awesome.

He is an ex-player. People love ex-players who aren't afraid to give their honest opinions.

He can also be pretty funny, at times.

Do you know Charles Barkley? Have you ever talked to him? He's a good guy.

I think the fact that you don't like him says more about you than everyone else actually liking him.
