i am not the moral police, nor claim to be, and neither is barkley. this thread is about a comment barkley made regarding another person's family matters. someone who pissed away roughly 1/2 of his family's net worth probably isn't the best person to be commenting on other people's family matters - sir charles would probably agree with me, that's why he kept it short.
if $1000 is 1/2 of someone's net worth then they really shouldn't be gambling, that's pretty pathetic
He's probably pissed at Tiger for not lending him any money to gamble with. He said on the Jim Rome show that he lost about his 10th SB in a row. That means that the last time he won was when he got credit for a bet when that guy who is now in Reno extended him the credit for the bet. Forget the bookies name right now.

he kept it short because the guy asking the questions, asked for a 1 word answer. you can read into whatever you want.
i'd agree with him... tiger woods is a sad individual in my book... nice example he was setting, especially for someone so dedicated to kids.
oh absolutely i agree 100%.
it's an interesting discussion, how much moral responsibility do these guys have? i used to think NONE but then i look at my wide-eyed 11 year old son that sees some of these guys as heroes. they didn't ask for that kind of responsibility, but it kind of comes with the territory of making millions of dollars of year and being in the limelight.
Might not have won a championship, but his resume is pretty impressive, nonetheless. Barkley was a GREAT basketball player:
HOFer
League MVP (1993)
2 Gold Medals
11 All Star appearances
Named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history
Averaged over 22 points and almost 12 rebounds per game for his career...
If I had a choice to have a beer with either of the two it definetly would be Barkley. He didn't win just like Stockton, Malone, Payton, Ewing and miller. They couldn't get passed mj. Barkley was a monster down low, playing the 4 at 6'4". Could run the floor and shoot the 3 as well. Seems like a real genuine guy. I still can't stop laughing about that Vaseline in the naval.
Unless his wife and kids are scrounging for food, he's welcome to piss away the $200+ Million he made however he likes. Something tells me they are doing better than 99.9% of people and have no complaints.
Maybe he was friends with Tiger's wife too. What Tiger did is sad. If you want to bone every girl you see, simply don't get married. No problem then

I like barkley as a commentator, just wonder why some people here have their nose so far up his ass lol. I am a cpa, and have a few clients where one spouse pisses all their time and money away at casinos, so it's kind of a sore spot. Wynn having to take him to court just to get paid rubbed me the wrong way too, you don't have to be a degenerate AND a stiff lol.
Not sure where the $200 million comes from, his career nba earnings were $40 million.
I've partied with Charles Barkley before about 6-7 yrs ago in Birmingham,AL very cool guy to be around, he acts just like every other broke dick in public even tho he is famous and has money he doesn't act like it. And when you see this guy in person how anyone would want to fuck with him I have no clue he is a BIG BIG man.
nice, you guys have it a little easier with regards to the test. it used to be all 4 parts at the same time (2-days), and if you passed only 1 you had to take all 4 again. if you passed 2 or 3, then you could just retake the sections you failed, but you had to wait 6 months because the tests were only done twice a year.
now apparently you can just focus on one at a time, right? my advice is to start your own firm, or try to get in with someone that is retiring within a few years. at $160/hour i only have to work 600 hours a year (12 hrs/week) to make around $100k. if you work for a bigger firm you will probably work about 3000 hours a year and make far less.
Yea, now days you can take them whenever you want. Some people take them all within like 2 weeks but i passed 1 in august, september, and november. You have within like 15 months after you pass your 1st test to pass all 4 until the credits expire. I just started a little while ago at a big firm and your right-the hours dont equate to the pay but its good experience and I didn't have any other offers. Plus I get a 5k bonus at least once i pass.
