Have to agree that was a fantastic story. I have known Charles was a great human being warts and all from many stories I have read about him. This one just adds to that legacy in my opinion. We all say and do some stupid shit in our lives, Barkley included, but the whole of a man is more important than a few choice words at the wrong time. He wears it on his sleeve and says what is on his mind. I respect him for that.

Thanks for posting that story!

Great to hear things like that in this day and age. Glad your dad got to experience that relationship.

I’ve been a fan of Barkley sinse his “I am not a role model” campaign for Nike. He said raise your own damn kids.

Barkley isn't a politically correct person. He seems like he's a very real person who embraces the reality of being human. It must be incredibly shocking to Lin's family and friends that he was friends with Barkley, two men who seemingly didn't have anything in common but they had a lot in common.

I found this to be especially touching:
