Charles Barkley: Spitting on little girl changed my life 

This was so inspiring. I'm going to go spit on a child right now.

It’s amazing what taking responsibility will do for a person’s life

Shaq: Why don’t you give a woman a watch? Barkley: Because there is a clock on the stove.

He self reflected, honestly looked at his situation, and his responsibility. Forgave himself, let go, and moved on. Became free from resentment. Good work sir Charles!

"If you play on the edge it's not a matter of if you go off, but when." - that's a good quote I'll remember.

Bensinger lets people talk ... thumbs up!

I love Chuck, man. I love his humility and his self-reflection in this interview. It's always so reassuring when someone who's seen as a "prick" or "bad-boy" can reflect on those days and say, "hey, some of this shit I did was stupid. How can i grow from this?"

Atvleast Charles owned those mistakes. There can only be redemption after you're honest with yourself. Bravo.

Charles is Amazing. His honesty, his introspection, his willingness to grow, to be a better person...REMARKABLE.

This is an amazing example of self awareness

I respect Charles for being honest when he messes up he owns up to it

I think what I appreciate most about Charles Barkley is that he has learned from his mistakes and owns his responsibility. Those kind of character traits are the best types of role models in my opinion.

Wow. Spectacular anecdote and reflection. I have several relatives and friends who were never able to achieve that level of self-reflection and maturity. They just go around being angry and depressed and blaming the rest of the world for their own shortcomings. A big kudos to Barkley.

There some big ol women in San Antonio.

So when were we going to hear the story about when and why he spit on a little girl??

so few people can come to that kind of realization on their own. kudos to Mr Barkley.

The great ones take mistakes and turn them into life lessons, and mature quickly from those points forward. Barkley and Tyson are great examples of those who stumbled but did not fall off the cliff.

Charles is the one guy in media and sports who can say what he wants

How does this channel not have more subs? Great interviews with interesting subjects.

What I got from these clips is that chuck is able to take step back and assess his behavior, and ultimately change before it ends up costing him everything. A lot of ppl aren’t fortunate enough to have that foresight.

Ms. Gomez gots more rings then barkley lol

That hate can drive a person but it will eventually burn you up inside. Taking responsibility for your life can hurt sometimes. But if your great at something letting your talent speak for you is so much more powerful than any cut or dig you could say to someone.

Just got done going through the clips for sir Charles and Arnold. lovin these interviews! Keep up the great work.

Wow. This is real wisdom. “Let it go❗️”🙏

I think Charles said hundred times that some events changed his life, or that someone had the best influence on him or someone's best player with whom he played or against..for him everything is the best and biggest..amazing man

This goes for life in general not just sports. He got stuck in anger and resentment and let it run his life. But he's right if you let it run you eventually you will fuck up and fall off the cliff. This is why I respect him regardless of his mistakes. Because he was at least able to recognize them and fix them.

Love these interviews

Charles, this is a great interview and a great message. Everyone, especially now needs to look in the mirror and as, what can I do differently to make my life and the world a better place. It’s up to each and everyone to take personal responsibility.

I've had a few spiritual awakenings that make me ask myself, "dude, what's wrong with you??" Those have been the defining moments of my life! Maturity & grown happens painfully sometimes...

Graham looks like he'd buy a gram of weed for $30

"Ms Gomez was right" would have been the perfect sign for the crowd when he played

Its called awareness, becoming aware of why, you are and do what you do, life changing.

Wow, imagine that. Accountability! Real talk.

I relate to this I messed up so bad after a real bad time I won’t get in detail but I used it to better myself and really keep my emotions in check at all times no matter what shit cloud is over you and how bad it seems it can get so much worse in a blink of an eye ...

Listen up young athletes you can sure learn a lesson today. I have a lot of respect from man that admits he was wrong in changes.

GREATEST TITLE I'VE READ IN SOME TIME.

It's good that Mr. Barkley has the ability to reflect on his actions, thus learning from his mistakes. Many people don't have the capacity to do that. In fact they can never do that because they will never admit they are wrong about anything.

Loved this interview!

Really admire his introspection and willingness to change. It takes intelligence and toughness.

You know, I remember the spitting incident. And I remember hating Charles Barkley afterwards. I no longer hate him, I just let it go! Im glad he changed shortly after that...and let all that anger go!

Great interview.

Interviewer let him talk. Rare talent in itself nowadays to anyone to have.

It’s a thing everyone should go through, realizing u r the captain of ur ship

I kinda want to see a biopic of charles over MJ...i think it would be more meaningful to reflect the TYPES of hardship barkley had to face over his entire basketball career, and when he finally retired, he got to rethink bout his life and start a new one as a man who is in an environment that needs more control of himself: Commentator on TNT I think it would be much more insightful and less hollywood bullshit since this man had many failures but still keeps going, something we havent seen much on screen and more likely relatable. MJ's story is great but i feel hollywood is just gonna do in 3 stages 1.Early success 2.Gamble issue, James' death and NBA retirement 3. Return to court and 3 peat and happily ever after. End of movie

The lessons of life. Good for Sir Charles. He had the smarts. So many don't.

I think Charles is a super intelligent person with tons of good to say if people just hear him out. We all make mistakes, it’s how you own and learn from them that grows you. Charles seems much bigger on the inside, where it counts, than the outside.

great video

I love this man. He is so wise and loving.

What a great example of vulnerability and willingness to be open in modeling the most important words in the universe.....I could be wrong. Love ya Charles.

When you look inward instead of outward about your life and problems is when you grow up as a man.

I think Michael Jordan really walked that fine line. Between anger and motivation. Barkley let it get to him....

wow, that was really insightful. never heard him speak so transparently about himself.

I'm glad you realize what you have become and then you realize you were the problem. I would of love to hear him say. I contacted the little girl and apologized to her. I was hoping he would of said that. That would made me feel really good to hear that.

These interviews are amazing. Love how they are split up in little sections.

One of my favorites of all time when he played and I think I like him better now when he just calls it as he sees it.

Flunked high school Spanish.... sounds like Chuck

Graham is a good interviewer.

The one thing that he said that I liked is that you don’t have to be mad at anybody. A lot of times we try to do so well to prove others wrong but we just need to do well for ourselves.

Love, love, love Charles Barkley. Love that dude. He gets it.

Thank you Mr. Barkley for teaching me something today...

Personal responsibility is the key to growth and the key to becoming all that you are capable of being. This is something sorely missing with this current generation of kids and young adults.

Best video title on RU-vid

I'm here after LeBron's rant

Love this interviewer

His anger analysis is great....

Great self analysis

Dude was making millions in the NBA and was mad at his High School Spanish Teacher. THATS WOKE

Self-reflection, self-examination and eventual maturity...works for almost every responsible, thinking adult. Unfortunately, there are way too few of us these days.

Graham I didn't know you were from Missouri, cool that we are from close places.

The Keith Hernandez spitting incident changed Kramers life too. Lol

It's a common theme I've encountered in my life among successful people, and that is, some catalyst that makes them look inward and suddenly hold themselves accountable for their actions. I clearly remember the moment I personally stopped blaming others and looked in the mirror. It's been all upward movement since.

i feel like crying watching charles reveal his pain.. we need to sympathize and love him.. reminds me of the pain i felt when bradd pitt and angelie jolie broke up.. i did not eat and sleep for 2 days..

Ray Rice: How knocking the shit out of my girl changed my life.

The title for this clip is just fucking hilarious

Atleast it wasn't magic johnson

Deep! ✊🏾

I don’t follow the NBA. I didn’t know Charles Barkley was such a philosopher. I hope more people listen to this man.

I felt that last quote.

Sir Charles, you ARE a role model.

your the🐐

Sir Charles spitting some serious wisdom.

Very mature :) glad he could accept those things and forgive and move on

If anybody has or can somehow upload the episode where Barkley comes back to TNT from his suspension for a dwi in 2009, that would really be appreciated. I'd really like to hear what he had to say about it at the time. The episode was on February 19th 2009. Thank you!

who's here after LeBron James tweet

With great power comes great responsibility

I wish MJ was this honest and forthcoming

What a headline

everyone has a past everyone has made mistakes. everyone has regrets. everyone wants peace, forgiveness and redemption. mr barkley is human too ( and a GIANT talent) . see one another. hear one another. forgive one another. love one another.

Accountability start with you.

The title of this video sounds very wrong.

Love you Charles Barkley!

Love Charles the philosopher.

Charles is the BOMB! Love him.

Great clip. I remember this from years ago. Did Charles ever apologize to the girl? Just wondering.

Admire Charles.

I loved that Charles GOT it and understood that his actions created his outcome. His life turned around when he realized it wasn't anyone else's fault. It seems a lot of men think it's manly to play on the edge with anger but it's because they don't know how else to get their emotions and energy to work for them in an easier way.

Greatest PF of all time hands down

The world is full of angry successful people because the greatest motivation a human can tap into is " I'll show you " when in reality it's LOVE but we seem to ignore it...

@TessaBlanchard Actually listen and take heed

Barkley's the best, used to be my favorite player growing up, he's just too hilarious, mad at Miss Gomez for flunking Spanish, I mean its just so funny. And I liked his anger in the NBA, I wish Zion could get madder, he'd play better or tougher, he's missing that, Barkley was one tough dude.
