  • One of the most real commercials ever.......they need to run this again.......Barkley was the Anti-Jordan...the game needed that

  • "I, for one, don't like the term role model at all. The reason I say that is, for myself, I never considered myself a role model, period. What I did was, I was a man who played basketball as well as he could. And I was never, ever contemplating trying to qualify for sainthood. If there's such a thing as a role model, it has to come from the people the kids are in day-to-day contact with -- their family, their teachers, their counselors, their friends." -Bill Russell

  • He hit the nail on the head "parents should be role models" this aired back in 1993 when i was 15 and i got it then ..

  • @kfayne21

    the point is,,its not HIS responsibility to raise YOUR kids..

  • YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL. WHEN YOU ARE AN NBA STAR, KIDS LOOK UP TO YOU AND WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU. SO TO SAY YOUR NOT A ROLE MODEL,YOUR LYING

  • He just wants the best life for his son, Hoopz...

  • Yet 100,000's teenagers still looked up to you and wanted to be you....

  • I can picture him being worse than Rocky Balboa when reading his cue cards!!

  • A professional athlete's contract pays them to play ball, not play preacher who gives life lessons at Sunday church services. Barkley's correct when he says he wasn't paid to be a role model.

    That being said, those known for philanthropic work may help the team for marketing purposes and land them a job with the front office/coaching staff after their playing career is over. Otherwise, they will have a job as long as they perform well.

  • Having had the honor of meeting Mr. Barkley. I can say that yes his is a gentlman in person and with fans but I concur athletes are not meant to be role models for anyone's children but their own. Mr. Tebow could learn from this.

  • I always loved Barkley cus hes 100% real, period
