'I’m going to say what the hell I want to say,' Barkley says. 'Some people are going to like it, and some people are going to go to hell. If you don’t like my opinion, turn off your TV or kiss my [expletive]. A or B?' This isn’t the nicest way to put it, obviously. But it is also so very Barkley and what makes him unlike anybody in sports television. Humans are multidimensional. They are no one action. So Barkley is neither a jerk nor a saint. What he is, almost always, is real, flaws and all. He can be exceedingly kind to strangers, or he can throw one of them through a plate-glass window when he feels disrespected (and then tell the judge that his only regret was that they weren’t on the second bleeping floor when he did it).
