    Who do think is the King of Quotes??

    In my opinion I think Ron Artest and Shaq are the King of Quotes. They say the funniest things. Do you remember when Shaq was asked if he wanted to tell Yoa Ming anything and he said "Tell You Ming I said...Chang Chung Wong Ching Cha Chung" That was hilarious.

    So who do you think is the King of Quotes?

    Charles Barkley easily has the most memorable quotes. He is the King of Quotes.

    Chill man, that was pretty funny. We all know Shaq is not racist, he is always up to something, it was a joke.

    wasn't all that funny to me, either.

    not to be a man-with-stick-up-ass, but just how do you know shaq is not a racist? do you have his complete criminal record for us to see? are you in his personal inner circle of friends or family? what concrete evidence do you have to prove that he's not racist? you have none. so don't make statements you can't prove, please. especially when dealing with such a sensitive issue.

    Yeah I liked Barkley, he was very open minded and spoke the truth. It wasn't harsh, it was good for getting reality checks. However my favorite people were the people who were so kind and humble, who spoke so nicely of themselves and other people. These people being people like Chris Bosh, LeBron and Desmond Mason, Rashard Lewis also. Very mature and respectable, my favorite type of player, my favorite type of people.

    The Asian community didn't really like the quote, and I believe Shaq later apologized for it, saying it was inappropriate...

    It was inappropriate but to say all that hoopsalluionz is being stupid. His criminal record has nothing to do with racism...it won't say...called a white person such and such or anything. your criminal record has to do with crimes not racism...so just hush and act like you said nothing.

    its sickening if you can just sit there and laugh it up at a comment like that. You may not think it was offensive, you may think it was all in good humor, but for someone who has had to put up with it for their whole life, its truly disheartening.

    Shaq is a jokester, and I find his statements hilarious! The one about Yao wasn't that funny, but it wasn't racist. I liked it when he said he was gonna go for 50 next time he plays the Mavs. He has the best quotes by far.

    At the time I chuckled when I heard the Shaq quote said by him. Looking at it written on paper isn't funny at all.

    He is not a racist but just sometimes says things that he shouldn't say in public.

    Shaq is known for his humor so stop crying, and he wasn't reffering to you. He also apoligized for goodness sake.

    Yeah Charles Barkley is funny too. He says some hilarious stuff.

    being stupid? criminal records do not have any reflection upon the person? is that what you are saying?

    but ANYWAY, you're missing the point my friend. i'm not attacking shaq in any way. in all probability, he is not a racist.

    my point was that you can't judge a public figure like shaq and just proclaim him innocent of racism, for the simple reason that you just don't know the person. just because you watch shaq playing on TV all the time and listen to his jokes after the game doesn't mean he's a good person. if you don't him personally, then its not your place to make comments about the person he is.

    so lets not make comments about players' personal lives when its not our place to. that's my point, buddy.

    Barkley, Kobe's had a couple quotes over the years like when they lost to the spurs in the second round.

    READ HIS POST AGAIN. He said that criminal records have no reflection on whether he's RACIST or not, not that they have no reflection on teh person himself. This is exactly what he said: "His criminal record has nothing to do with racism".

    ah. so lakers fans are now trying to close in on me. you're right, criminal records can't tell if a person is a racist or not. however, the damn criminal record argument has NOTHING to do with the point i'm trying to make, my friend. LETS FOCUS ON THE ARGUMENT AT HAND PLEASE?

    by the way, if you READ MY POST AGAIN, and think about it.. i think your boy kobe is the perfect example of what i'm trying to say. who knew the sqeaky clean image of kobe bryant, the heir apparent of michael jordan, would be accused of rape? who saw it coming? no one. you can't tell who players are off the court. that's my point.

    Ok guys, this had gotten way too offtopic

    My personal choice is Charles Barkey. Longevity, and somewhat intelligent comments when he was trying to be serious. He has continued his quotes as a commentator, and never said anything too controversial.
