Yo! Charles Barkley is good people. He likes to play the outrageous guy but if you listen to what he says he makes a lot of sense. Even if he is kind of conservative for me ;-)

He was one of the most amazing rebounders in the history of the NBA. He was listed at around 6'5", 6'6". He wasn't. I bumped into him on Michigan Avenue the year the Suns were playing the Bulls in the finals, a swarm of people around him. He was exactly my height, which is 6'3". He just wanted that ball more and used his body to stake out position.

UPDATE: And you have to like a guy who claimed to have been misquoted in his autobiography.
