Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley is a retired American basketball player known for his powerful rebounding despite being undersized for a forward.

After his Hall of Fame career, he became a television analyst famous for blunt, unpredictable commentary and willingness to mock himself and others: Barkley called it the worst game he'd ever seen.

His personality made him a cultural figure beyond sports.
