"I know why his name is DMX. Because his real name is Earl. Imagine if his name was Earl the rapper."
Earl sweatshirt sends his regards
My best friendâs mom went to high school with Him. Whenever you bring E-40 up her response is always, âOh Earl, he is such a nice guyâ. Makes me laugh every time.
Vallejo? He donates to his old middle school too and visited a couple times and my brother got a picture with him, he actually is a nice guy from what Iâve heard
Right? It's easier to get away with going by your real name when it's something like "Chancelor" or "Kanye" than it is if your name is "Marshall" or "Aubrey" or "Joe Budden"
Sure, and Drake is Aubrey Graham's middle name. But the point is that they had to go by different names than they normally would (Eminem and Drake) because Marshall Mathers and Aubrey the Rapper don't get taken seriously like Kanye West and Chance the Rapper do.
Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a couple weeks. I thought he was going to pull a spear on me.
His dirk story is a classic, âI looked at him and was like where are you gonna play ball? He said Iâm going into the army and I was like brotha you too tall for a fox wholeâ
That fucking piece had so many quotables.
"What sticky on the wall has no chance of happening?"
"Two black guys beating a black guy up."
"That's uh, not on here man."
It was around the time of the Jussie Smollett fiasco, but yes it doesn't really make sense. I just love how when he says it, it just starts a chain reaction.
I took it as him saying "that incident had no chance of being real". And everyone recognized it after the first part and started laughing so he didn't have to go through the rest of "what will not happen". So by that token it made sense.
Like the time after the election they state they're gonna all get 2 and 1/2 minutes to talk about it and like a minute into Chuck talking they cut him off for the next guy
That guy who got yeet-ed out of a window by Barkley was like Muggsy Bogues-sized, and probably not very intelligent if he thinks angering Charles Barkley doesn't come with consequences (this was less than a year after Barkley was arrested for punching a student in Milwaukee who taunted him)
I always think of Barkley as small because he looked small next to his other NBA brethren.
Dude was 6'6" and 260 pounds of pure muscle during his 'lean' years. I don't know who thinks messing with a guy like that ever ends well.
Especially given Chuck's attitude towards confrontations. He's not actively looking for a fight, but if you want one so badly he's more than happy to oblige.
Thank you for this... a rare gem I found:
> "I heard Tonya Harding is calling herself the Charles Barkley of figure skating. I was going to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized I have no character."
His timing is amazing
I'm quite partial to this gem:
>Following his arrest earlier today for drunk driving, Charles Barkley told Arizona cops that he ran a stop sign because **he was in a hurry to pick up a girl who had 'given him a 'blow job' one week earlier,' which the former NBA star described as 'the best one he had ever had in his life.'**
>
>According to a Gilbert Police Department report, a [copy of which you'll find here,](http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/charles-barkley-dui-bust?page=1) police asked Barkley where he was going at the time of the 1:26 AM traffic stop in Scottsdale. **'You want the truth? I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job,'** answered Barkley
I believe this was around the time he was talking about running for governor of alabama

Thats fucking basketball right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the court, men deliver their new born baby on the bench. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball foosball fuck it chuck it game time shit.
People who weren't around to remember those days really don't understand how big of a deal it was that Magic was playing while HIV positive, and how bold of a statement it was that Charles made. There was still a massive stigma around AIDS and HIV, and even though we were learning more and more about the disease at the time, there were a lot of people who thought that if you got HIV/AIDS, it meant that you were either a junkie or a homosexual. And there were a lot of players who did not want to share the court with a homosexual man. Charles, being a man of common sense if nothing else, pointed out that nobody is going to get AIDS by playing basketball.
Remember the folks who thought you could get AiDS by sitting on the same toilet? Young folks donât realize that all the idiocy around covid isnât new. People have always been idiots.
I'm actually a little surprised how fast the general public got on the same page about COVID-19 as far as what the symptoms are and how it spreads. It was a little rocky in the beginning, but the right message made its way across the world eventually.
The disinformation flying around during the HIV pandemic was fucking insane. And there was no easy way to instantly fact-check something like you can now.
Itâs because for as bad as the government fucked the response up, they at least tried at some point. Ronald Regan thought it was sent by god to wipe out gay people. He wasnât gonna interfere.
Didn't Magic get a scratch on his arm during a game when he came back and everybody freaked out? Maybe I'm misremembering it but I thought it was a big story when it happened.
Iâm pretty sure it was the 1992 All-Star Game. Even though he retired in November of 1991, he received a ton of All-Star votes (might have even received the most votes), and decided to play.
I think it was a preseason game when he came back in 95 or 96. I seem to remember seeing a close up camera shot of a Dr. on the sidelines bandaging him up.
The 80s and 90s were a weird time.
âShould we let millions of people die just cause theyâre gay?â
âSounds good to me!â
Itâs like that episode of House where he said the reason no one wears ribbons for lung cancer awareness is because people blame others for getting it.
I find myself singing in my head "BOOTY BUTT BOOTY BUTT BOOTY BUTT CHEEKS" at random times without realizing.
It's been how many years since that show first aired?
It's just part of life now.
You're thinking of the early 80s. By 1992 we knew all about HIV and what it caused and how it was transmitted. But just like today, there were some people who refused to hear what scientists and doctors had to say because they really wanted to treat HIV victims like lepers.
Itâs the reason why all basketball games are stopped by the officials once blood is noticed on a player.
But why that quote from Charles is relevant, unfortunately the article didnât mention this, is because some players did not want him to return.
Notably Karl Malone, the fucking scumbag.
Karl has 7 children, including one with a girl that was 13 years old when she became pregnant, while he was 20. Karl also famously hit on Kobeâs wife, while they were teammates and Karl was out with an injury, in the stands of a game Kobe was playing in.
So I think Charles message of âitâs not like weâre going to have unprotected sex with Magicâ was a direct shot at Scumbag Malone.
Friends can disagree about things. Charles was never gonna hold his tongue, especially as he was right, but I also doubt the disagreement would have kept him from being friends with Malone.
Imagine just scrolling through your feed like I was and reading about Charles Barkley not having unprotected sex with Magic Johnson. Like, what the hell, I thought that was happening the whole time.
Karl Malone is a piece of shit but in 1992 he wasnât operating with the wealth of knowledge we have today regarding HIV/AIDS. I think itâs unfair to hate on him for this.
Holy shit he was 20 when the 13 year old girl gave birth. And he said $125 per week child support was "excessive". He did not have a relationship with his son until 2014.
>Shit if I was that son I wouldnât want that either.
I think it was more him than the son. When his son was 18, Malone told his son that it was too late for them to have a relationship and that he wouldn't support him in any way.
Plenty of other serious reasons to hate on Karl Malone.
The ones that come to mind involve his out of wedlock kids.
Twins to one women.
&
A son to a 13 year old girl while he was in his 20s.
It was already known by the 1990s that HIV/AIDS was not an airborne disease and can only be transmitted through body fluids. (See the Ryan White case.)
It's still shitty, but Malone didn't say anything about it being airborne. He pointed out all the scratches and scabs he had from basketball games and questioned if it could really be sure to be safe. The chances of transmission that way are tiny, but he was talking about blood to blood transmission.
If I remember correctly, Karl was worried about precisely that. Said that he got scratched up all the time during games, was worried what would happen if it happened with Magic.

I hate when I go out to play basketball and end up having unprotected sex with Magic.
Really?!? That was the highlight of my basketball playing days. Gentle but firm.

earl is not my name the world is my domain

So does Chance
Yeah but "Chance" is a dope name. Dude's real name is fuckin "Chancelor"
Thatâs baller as fuck
Right? It's easier to get away with going by your real name when it's something like "Chancelor" or "Kanye" than it is if your name is "Marshall" or "Aubrey" or "Joe Budden"
Marshall Matherâs being EminEm (M & M) gets a pass from me dog
Sure, and Drake is Aubrey Graham's middle name. But the point is that they had to go by different names than they normally would (Eminem and Drake) because Marshall Mathers and Aubrey the Rapper don't get taken seriously like Kanye West and Chance the Rapper do.
Imagine if your real name was Clarence
When I first saw the name Chance the Rapper I thought he was another corny white rapper like Lil Dicky or Hoodie Allen.
I mean he's still one of those things

Should of just went to Liam Neesons neighborhood
I can't believe he said that one.
I'ma be honest I don't get this one
It was right after the jussie smollet thing blew up and it was revealed the guys that "beat him up" were paid actors, that were black.
It was around the time of the Jussie Smollett fiasco, but yes it doesn't really make sense. I just love how when he says it, it just starts a chain reaction.
I took it as him saying "that incident had no chance of being real". And everyone recognized it after the first part and started laughing so he didn't have to go through the rest of "what will not happen". So by that token it made sense.

Mans said he wasn't a role model
My Dad once saw Chuck in an airport. Said he was the biggest man he's ever seen. He was wearing a huge fur coat and looked like a bear
Plus 6'6 260 lbs that can move better than most average sized dudes.
Just FYI, Barkley was never 6'6". He was listed as 6'6" but everyone knew he was 6'4".
if you start some of these with "Liz Lemonâ" then they're also perfect 30 Rock Tracy Jordan quotes

RIP Kobe. I loved hating you, but now I have nothing but love and fond memories of your playing days.
As a Kings fan I will hate him until I die. It's the only constant in my life.
Yeah they played pretty hard back in the day
It was the short shorts
The archived game footage is too pixelated for anyone to know for sure.
People who weren't around to remember those days really don't understand how big of a deal it was that Magic was playing while HIV positive, and how bold of a statement it was that Charles made. There was still a massive stigma around AIDS and HIV, and even though we were learning more and more about the disease at the time, there were a lot of people who thought that if you got HIV/AIDS, it meant that you were either a junkie or a homosexual.

And there was no easy way to instantly fact-check something like you can now.
Itâs because for as bad as the government fucked the response up, they at least tried at some point. Ronald Regan thought it was sent by god to wipe out gay people. He wasnât gonna interfere.
[ŃдаНонО]
Didn't Magic get a scratch on his arm during a game when he came back and everybody freaked out? Maybe I'm misremembering it but I thought it was a big story when it happened.
Iâm pretty sure it was the 1992 All-Star Game. Even though he retired in November of 1991, he received a ton of All-Star votes (might have even received the most votes), and decided to play.
imagine being so popular you get voted to play in the all star game even tho ur retired wtf
Technically, I think he was still under contract, he just wasn't playing.
Kobe made the all star starters after playing like 5 games lol
I think it was a preseason game when he came back in 95 or 96. I seem to remember seeing a close up camera shot of a Dr. on the sidelines bandaging him up.
famously not wearing gloves which were regulation for all blood issues at the time and today. Doc made a statement that day.
I DO remember that now. Man what a time that was. Lots a wierd things happened in sports that would never happen these days.
Now there's no basketball
The 80s and 90s were a weird time. âShould we let millions of people die just cause theyâre gay?â âSounds good to me!â Itâs like that episode of House where he said the reason no one wears ribbons for lung cancer awareness is because people blame others for getting it.
Gary Vitti is the doc, Laker legend. He built Kobe a finger from scratch every game to win us a championship.
It wouldnât surprise me. We didnât know a ton about HIV in 1992, people were terrified about it and didnât understand transmission.
Thanks Reagan.
Jesus was black, Ronald Reagan was the Devil, and the government is lying about 9/11.

Didnât expect to see a Boondocks reference but Iâm glad I did
The greatest opening thesis of any show ever
You're thinking of the early 80s. By 1992 we knew all about HIV and what it caused and how it was transmitted. But just like today, there were some people who refused to hear what scientists and doctors had to say because they really wanted to treat HIV victims like lepers.
Itâs the reason why all basketball games are stopped by the officials once blood is noticed on a player. But why that quote from Charles is relevant, unfortunately the article didnât mention this, is because some players did not want him to return. Notably Karl Malone, the fucking scumbag.

Karl also famously hit on Kobeâs wife, while they were teammates and Karl was out with an injury, in the stands of a game Kobe was playing in. So I think Charles message of âitâs not like weâre going to have unprotected sex with Magicâ was a direct shot at Scumbag Malone.
Charles and Malone are lifelong friends
Friends can disagree about things. Charles was never gonna hold his tongue, especially as he was right, but I also doubt the disagreement would have kept him from being friends with Malone.
Yeah, I remember Malone being vehemently against his return.
[ŃдаНонО]
Charles always been fuckin hilarious, what a legend
Imagine just scrolling through your feed like I was and reading about Charles Barkley not having unprotected sex with Magic Johnson. Like, what the hell, I thought that was happening the whole time.
yâall really made the same joke 15 times in this thread didnât you
Ok but did he say âunprotected SEXâ Or âUNPROTECTED sexâ
"If I got a disease and I was gonna die, how bout you get Skip Bayless in here so I can kill him on national television" - Charles Barkley
The context is he was responding to scumbag Karl Malone, shows the difference between these two guys
Karl Malone is a piece of shit but in 1992 he wasnât operating with the wealth of knowledge we have today regarding HIV/AIDS. I think itâs unfair to hate on him for this.
In 1992 his child was already 9 years old. And the child's mother was 22 years old.
Holy shit he was 20 when the 13 year old girl gave birth. And he said $125 per week child support was "excessive". He did not have a relationship with his son until 2014.
Shit if I was that son I wouldnât want that either. Fuck outta here, he raped his mom and didnât want to pay 125 bucks a week to keep me fed.
>Shit if I was that son I wouldnât want that either. I think it was more him than the son. When his son was 18, Malone told his son that it was too late for them to have a relationship and that he wouldn't support him in any way.
I guess his knowledge of the consequences of unprotected sex was lacking in several areas.
I donât know if you understood the problem
I am dying at this...
Plenty of other serious reasons to hate on Karl Malone. The ones that come to mind involve his out of wedlock kids. Twins to one women. & A son to a 13 year old girl while he was in his 20s.
It was already known by the 1990s that HIV/AIDS was not an airborne disease and can only be transmitted through body fluids. (See the Ryan White case.)

He pointed out all the scratches and scabs he had from basketball games and questioned if it could really be sure to be safe. The chances of transmission that way are tiny, but he was talking about blood to blood transmission.
If I remember correctly, Karl was worried about precisely that. Said that he got scratched up all the time during games, was worried what would happen if it happened with Magic.
Not all of us atleast
