Charles Barkley. The only reason I didn't fall asleep during the first three events of tonight was them cracking jokes about the competitors. Some of my favourites for the night: "HES A STEP SLOW LIKE BEN JOHNSON ON STERIODS" When Nate missed his 13th consecutive attempt, Magic Johnson said, "I'm worried that he may get little depressed right now". Charles replies, "You can't worry about him getting depressed after missing few attempts, he plays on the Knicks! He's used to depression. That's about as low as it gets from a depression standpoint". "Knicks can win the ncaa title...if they play Gonzaga ... oh wait .. that Adam Morrison kid is good" "I'm fat with a great body." "Your kids aren't that talented Kenny" after Kenny remarked he didn't want his kids trying these dunks at home "They give anyone video games" after hearing about Kenny commentating or something on a video game "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD PUT THE CAMERA BACK ON DAMON JONES" "Who cares about this dunk, get the guys in the truck to show Damon Jones' Jacket Again!" (on Nate Robinson) "If he's 5'9, I'm skinny" (on Nate dunking over Spud) "You shouldn't get credit for jumping over a small person" Those are the ones I remember. Thank god Charles was commentating or it would have been a lousy night. At least in the begginning.

I don't think he likes T-Mac much either. All the work they put in, and he always has something negative to say about them. Who won the dunk contest, Carter's dribble undder the leg, or MJ's leaner?

I never saw the Damon Jones jacket ... anyone got a pic or sumtin?
MJ's leaner won it, and I'm sure we'll be seeing Iggy's dunk in those contests soon enough. Damon Jones' outfit wasn't hideous, but it was pretty funny. I don't have a picture, though... sorry. And yes, other than Iguodala, the real star of Friday and Saturday night was Barkley.
Haha yeah Barkley`s joke on DJ`s jacket were good. Aw man Barkley was too good. I wish he would commentate some NBA games, just to hear what he says.
What about the one where he introduced Kenny as a judge? Haha he said " 2 time NBA champion, and non-hall of famer"
LOL I forgot what Charles said exactly but it was something about the Knicks and that they've fallen short all season and I think Charles said something about midget short. I couldnt stop laughing, lol
Charles is random. He said so many off the wall things last night. The events were great but Barkley mad them special.
I'm very dissapointed Charles didn't say anything about Kenny Smith. TNT had to tell him not to comment about it on air.
u guys missed the funniest part of all star weekend. in reference to josh smith not taking off from the tape mark he called it a "distraction" method away from the dunk.
Charles Barkley is probably the coolest retired basketball player (has anyone read his latest book?). After Dirk Nowitzki hit his last three that was obviously taken after the buzzer sounded, Barkley exclaimed something to the effect of: "Maybe we can get some of those Super Bowl referees in here?"
Barkley is by far my favorite basketball announcer/broadcaster, or whatever he is called. Which is his latest book?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting big_kev_at_oz:</div><div class="quote_post">Nate The Great!!</div> Thanks for the insight. Great post.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting big_kev_at_oz:</div><div class="quote_post">^ better than your fucking freepost</div> Please do not post another single thing on this board. You contribute nothing, and you're offensive in so doing. Go away. Silently.
Barkleys latest book is: "I may Be Wrong, But I Doubt It!!" I have just started it, its his views on politics,life and sport.
