Charles Barkley
This guy is probably my favorite athlete ever, minus the manicure advice.
What’s the most important room in a man’s house?
Wherever he watches television. I watch sports 24/7 because every time I watch sports there’s a chance I can see greatness.
What piece of clothing should every man own?
A bunch of different shoes that go with a bunch of different outfits. I’m a shoe guy. I’ve got 150 pairs.
What’s the best way to survive in jail?
No matter how long you’re in jail, it’s a long time. Just use the time to think. I was sitting there thinking, I’m a ****** idiot for putting myself in this situation.
What should a man be able to do with his hands?
Get a good manicure. Do it once a week. Because when you shake people’s hands, it’s important to have soft hands.
And my personal favorite:
What should every man know about women?
How clean they’re gonna keep his house.

I read an interview with Charles Barkley in Playboy back when I was in college (just after the earth cooled) and there are two things he said that I found interesting. Both were kind of nibbling around the topic of race.
The first was he was asked if he could not play basketball what did he think he would be doing. His answer was that whatever he was doing he was going to be a success at it. He thought people did not try hard enough and he basically said, "Nobody is going to stop me."
The second thing was he was asked if he did not like playing for Phoenix because the voters of the state of Arizona had voted down making Martin Luther King day a state holiday (at the expense of losing Columbus day or something like that) and if he thought Arizonan's were racist. His answer was "I will play basketball for the Klu Klux Klan if they pay me enough money." If somebody is going to be racist, screw em and move on.
He just kind of struck me as a guy who shoots straight and makes no excuses. This was further reinforced when he was arrested for driving drunk and speeding and told the cop he was rushing to a hoochies house because she gave excellent noggin. Not a lot of BS from this guy.
