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. | |
