by Evan Sporer | 11:43 am, June 4th, 2012

Chuck. Sir Charles. The Round Mound of Rebound. Charles Barkley is a man of many names.

He’s also a man of many quotes.

Since joining TNT’s Inside the NBA team in 2000 (and well before that, as a Hall-of-Fame power forward) Barkley has been known just as much for his off-the-cuff comments as his basketball conquests. From his thoughts on being a role model (he says he’s not) to noting the amount of black people in Oklahoma City (he says there aren’t many), Charles Barkley has said a lot over the years. So, in honor of all that talking, here are 11 things Charles Barkley actually said.

1.How To Rebound

"I always laugh when people ask me about rebounding techniques. I've got a technique. It's called just go get the damn ball."

2.The Right Fit

"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."

3.Corporate Responsibility

On Jerry Krause keeping his job: "Jerry Krause must have pictures of his boss's wife having sex with a monkey."

4.On Windows

After throwing a man through a first-floor window in a bar, Barkley was in front of a judge. Judge: "Your sanctions are community service and a fine, do you have any regrets?" Charles: "Yeah. I regret we weren't on a higher floor."

5.On Mom

"We better not be doing the Bulls this year. Man, they suck! Bunch of high school kids with $70 million contracts. Damn! I hate my mother for having me too soon."

6.Here's A Tip

To teammate Stanley Roberts: "Hey Stanley, you could be a great player if you learned just two words: I'm full."

7.On Metrosexuality

"Hey Lily. They can't come between us. Thanks for my eyebrow wax and manicure today."

8.Cookie Monster

After Reggie Evans got caught grabbing Chris Kaman's junk--Ernie: "Evans got caught with his hands in the cookie jar." Charles: "Ernie, I don't know where you get your cookies, but the rest of us don't get them there."

9.Watching My Weight

"I thought this was the greatest scam going -- getting paid for watching sports -- this Weight Watchers thing is a bigger scam."

10.Diversity in Oklahoma City

"Oklahoma is nothing but vast wasteland; no place for black people. The Oklahoma Sooners and the Hornets are the only brothers in town."

11.Party Up In Here

"I know why his name is DMX. Because his real name is Earl. Imagine if his name was Earl the rapper."
