From "Keepin' It Real: A Turbulent Season at the Crossroads with the NBA" (1999). Reprinted by permission. Print story Email story by Larry Platt Charles Barkley, statesman. It is just the latest incarnation of one of the most singular athletes of our time; for the last thirteen years, the evolution of Charles Barkley has been a riveting work in progress. Like his hero, Muhammad Ali, he is always in a state of becoming, a consummate showman who, despite appearances, is never in the final act. <i>He is expert at makeover.</i> When he broke into the league in 1985, Barkley was an anomaly, a fat jumping jack in a world of sinewy athletic hardbodies. He was also a shy "country bumpkin" in the words of one who knew him well then, a backwater Alabama kid who rarely ventured out of his Philadelphia apartment, so intimidated was he by the big city. Within a few years, though, he would grow into the first hip-hop hoopster, serving as a symbolic rejection of crossover, that prevailing ethic for black basketball stars. He had, after all, inherited leadership of a team from Erving, who, toward the end of his illustrious career, was championed by the press and league alike as the game’s "great ambassador," a hardcourt Cosby.

SA Charles Barkley is an outspoken basketball player whose commentary here focuses on social issues off the basketball court. He writes about racism, prejudice, equal opportunity, white supremacy in the New South, and his view of "keeping it real" as a wealthy, successful professional basketball legend. He describes how his ability to "get to the point" is often viewed negatively by the public and the press but is essential to the process of promoting social change. Barkley chooses his battles, and when he does, the topics often center on the African American's role in a formerly white-dominated society that is becoming more diverse and international. Barkley does an artful job of discussing his interpretation and influence on apartheid, while at the same time talking about the details of the NBA that make him a quasi-expert on the current and future state of professional basketball. Some obscenities are scattered throughout the book but do not detract from its readability or a positive recommendation for purchase. Tom Adamich, INFOhio Specialist, Cuyahoga Falls, OH

Corrections Charles Barkley The most fascinating sports figure since Muhammad Ali, he gave rise to a generation of hip-hop athletes. By Larry Platt It was a humbler, portlier, more emotional Charles Barkley who said goodbye to the sport of basketball April 19, the last day of the NBA And with that, after hearing himself praised by his coach as the bearer of a "heart of a champion," after being presented with a recliner by his teammates large enough to accommodate the girth of a rear end that his wife, Maureen, calls "the size of New Jersey," Barkley retired at age 37. Over the years, he'd transcended sports in a way few others have; part raconteur, part provocateur, the bigness of his persona often overshadowing just how singular a talent he was on the court. There, he was a perennial All-Star, a former league MVP, one of only four players (Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone are the others) to have amassed more than 20,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 4,000 assists. What's so startling about the numbers is another number: his height of 6-foot-4. Though nearly a foot shorter than the bruising behemoths he battled under the boards, Barkley often dominated thanks to effort and will. Always a braggart in the showy style of his hero, Muhammad Ali, it was the incongruity between his style of play and his height that once led Barkley to declare himself "the ninth wonder of the world."

Also planned or released for: Genesis (released), SNES (released) Notes: Game is listed as a cart game due for September 1995 in the Atari Dealer Price List Q3/1995. Charles Barkley - Late '95 Even Jag owners will soon be able to Shut Up and Jam with this variation on the 16-bit basketball sim. As with other versions of the game this takes a more casual approach to the sport with matches taking place between various groups of homies in a variety of urban and seaside venues. The graphics have been created using video footage of real people so it's got a sort of MK with balls look. There's old Charlie boy looking a bit fat and sweaty if the truth be known. (insert to Ultimate Future Gamer #11, 1995) CR: Charles Barkley Basketball looked pretty far along though? FT: Yeah, and that was a very difficult title to produce just due to the developer and in some ways it was a very painful process but I think what almost got done was, you know, kind of interesting and it would have been nice to actually see that released. I'm not exactly sure what the final status of that project was but when I left it was almost complete. But apparently it was never released, never really got over that hump.

HOME ABOUT US CONTACT US OUR PHILOSOPHY ... Search for another speaker Charles Barkley Category: Basketball, Broadcasters, General Motivation In brief Five-time All-NBA star Charles Barkley had many critics, but no one questioned his heart. On the basketball court, he gave 110 percent of his blood, sweat and tears. Off the court, he was a leader in his locker room and to less fortunate fans. Fee Range: $50, 001 - and above He was a 6'5" power forward for the Philadelphia 76ers, the Phoenix Suns, and the Houston Rockets, an eleven-time NBA All Star, and one of the most provocative, irreverent, and charismatic figures in all of sports. Some call him the greatest villain that basketball has ever seen, others call him the game's greatest entertainer. In his own words, "There will never be another player like me. I'm the ninth wonder of the world." He is Sir Charles. Charles Barkley grew up in Leeds, Alabama, where he was raised by his mother and grandmother. Charles attended Auburn University and was the Southeastern Conference Player of the Decade for the 1980s. He joined the NBA in 1984 and played eight seasons with the 76ers. Charles was selected the 1989-90 Player of the Year by both Sporting News and Basketball Weekly, and he was the MVP of the 1991 NBA All Star Game.
