Charles Barkley Quotes

Honestly I just shoot the ball and it goes in.

I shoot the ball so well that sometimes you fall in love with it and think it'll get you out of certain situations.

I don't believe in luck. Not in golf, anyway. There are good bounces and bad bounces, sure, but the ball is round and so is the hole. If you find yourself in a position where you hope for luck to pull you through, you're in serious trouble.

When you are in a good position you are sure to drive well and to be very concentrated in each corner.

I'm surprised when the ball doesn't go into the hoop. I think I should make every shot.

Sometimes you hit the ball on target and sometimes you don't.

I believe more in precision, when you have the capability, like when you see a mosquito fly and you're able to hit it, you're able to hit it with a couple of short sharp shots... it's a beautiful thing.

You can tell a good putt by the noise it makes.

What's successful is when you are good at what you aim to do. And I don't think that Nas has aimed to do anything that he hasn't done. So he is a good businessman.

You drive for show but putt for dough.

There are spots that I have to hit. Throws I can't miss.

I know people say that we are a load of beer drinkers but we are far more professional these days. These critics should come and have a go at playing darts if they think it is so easy.

I always, always decide where I'm going with the ball before I take a penalty shot, stare at the ball, follow through, and never look at the place that I'm going to shoot.

That is what shooting is. There is no secret sauce, man. You've got to find mechanics that you can make the same every time, and you've got to do it over and over again, and you can't just shoot for rhythm. You've got to understand what you are doing. You have to focus on those details every day.

Shooting the ball is a part of the game. Everybody can shoot in their own way. Not everybody can make. But everybody can shoot.

You have to bring this ball over this line and into this rectangle. It is not like synchronised swimming, where you are judged by your unbelievably beautiful performance.

I can make any throw.

The difference between a good shot and bad shot can be an inch to the left.

When I shoot, I'm square with the rim.

When I see some of the pitches which my father played on, I think that it must have been a different game.

Beckham takes free kicks better than me. It is a joy to watch him take free kicks and he has proved that free kicks are not all about power.

If you don't get it right, what's the point?

I learned to bat and bowl on different pitches and knew when to go hard and when to back off. It was just something I learned.

Obviously people have guarded me a lot different because of me being able to make shots.
