<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AirJordan:</div><div class="quote_post">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?</div> Hilarious? That's just mean and racism. I bet he's just sayin that because Yao took his spot in the 2003 all-stars. With me being chinese, i'm personally pissed he can even joke about that.Grrrrrrrrr
IT was a joke taken to far people, that is it, that is Shaq, Ming didnt deserve to start in teh all star game, he still doesnt deserve to start, it isnt racism, it is a joke....a Shaq joke

Personally I like these two quotes: On his retirement: "Just what America needs--another unemployed black man." On the All-Star Game: "Hell, there ain't but 15 black millionaires in the whole country & half of 'em are right here in this room."

Here are more! ?I don't know anything about Angola, but I know they're in trouble.? --Charles Barkley, a member of the 1992 U.S. Olympic team, asked to handicap the mismatch of the Dream Team's first game in Barcelona against Angola ?We're supposed to stop eating when he stops?

Charles Charles Charles Barkely your funnier than me. That one about golf and sex is hilarious. Thanks for the link Ice.

What a wise man Charles Barkley is! He's the best, although I don't like many of the things he says. As he said, he doesn't care what I think, anyway, so he'll just keep talking. I actually can't stand the guy, but he's definitely the king.

He was probably one of the most honest ball players out there. However he was sort of harsh, not as mean as Walton though. I still say nice players like Joe Dumars say the best sort of things.
Two more classic quotes from Sir Charles tonight on TNT. They were interviewing Jermaine O'Neal and Barkley asked two hilarious questions.... "Hey Jermaine, when you go to the movies with Reggie, does he get the senior citizens discount?" and "Hey Jermaine, did you see Sam Cassel in Lord of the Rings?" This was who Charles thinks Sam I Am looks like, LMAO:
my favorite barkley quotes: "my mama said only the rich are republicans. i said "mama, i'm the rich". to a.c.green, who's very religious "hey a.c., if god is so good, how come he didn't give you a jump shot?" shaq is just an idiot. i don't think his stupid quotes are funny. not that they are racist, or sexist or anything, just not humorous.

Sir Charles is the king of quotes. But Yao himself isn't bad either. He's even made The King eat his words, and kiss some ass(not that kind). When Shaq made his racist(the statements were racist, Shaq may or may not be, but the man and the statement are different) comment, he also said that he would hit Yao with an elbow. Yao came back that the elbow wouldn't hurt, since it had so much padding on it. I thought that that was hilarious, especially for a guy who was still adapting to US culture.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AirJordan:</div><div class="quote_post">"Tell You Ming I said...Chang Chung Wong Ching Cha Chung" </div> ROFL. I remember that! Shaq has GREAT quotes. Charles Barkley also cracks me up. Not so much Allen Iverson but that ONEEEE summer... "Practice, we talkin 'bout practice!"
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting kvh4fan:</div><div class="quote_post">Not so much Allen Iverson but that ONEEEE summer... "Practice, we talkin 'bout practice!"</div> Definitely a good one. I go back a little bit to some of Worm's quotes. Now he said some weird/stupid things - even in his wedding dress! 3rd favorite: "I'll always be Number 1 to myself." Moses Malone 2nd favorite: "Any time Detroit scores more than 100 points and holds the other team below 100 points, they almost always win." Doug Collins And #1... "No comment." Michael Jordan, after being asked for his response to making the All-Interview Team.
The King of Quotes IMO is someone who spices their quotes with a little comedy, such as Charles Barkley is pretty funny with quotes, such as, "God wants Phoenix to win the championship... I spoke to Him the other night" when his Suns squared off against the Bulls in the 1992 Finals. And of course Shaq O'Neal. Comments by Shaq on Yao I think was silly but I believe it's not towards racism... he thought he was funny at the time when he said that, I'm chinese, and I actually thought it was pretty funny. Shaq that I know is a clown so I don't think he meant to attack Yao, he didn't know a thing about him, why would he do it? I think what went on his mind was this simple, "your language is so hard to understand i'm just gonna try my hardest... comically". You just gotta laugh at that.
