Are we sure that isn't Barkley's brother? The one who works in the burger joint?

 

[jspvol76]

I figured he was pretty short when I saw a pic if him next to Butch, and Butch looked a half inch taller.

Hey Donnie! What's in your wallet ?

 

[barknoxbrawler]

Not necessarily, Chuck's not that tall.

I'd always seen him listed at 6'6, but truth be told, I don't think he is much taller than 6'4.

Truly, one of the most entertaining players to ever set foot in Stokely Athletic Center. They would put him under the goal on defense and he would block EVERYONE'S shot. Quite the talker too.... I really miss those days of hoops.

Hey Sir Charles, I'm the Head coach for the Vawls

Charles reply WHO?

As a player i hated him but now he's one of my favorite people in the world.

I met Barkley back in 2005 when he came over to the Middle East for his USO tour. Very nice and humble guy! I am 5'9" and in the middle... He is probably 6'6" ish...

I thought Donnie looked a little pudgy till I saw him next to the Crisco Kid.
Did Barkley ask Coach Tyndall for his autograph?

He was 6' 4" but played like he was 6' 10".

His nickname while at Auburn was "the bread truck".

As my old drill sergeant used to say, "Don't call me Sir. I work for a living."

Charles was a man of many nicknames in his playing days.
I remember the announcers calling him The Crisco Kid and The Round Mound of Rebound among others.
