Summary

Anyone who can be called both "Sir Charles" and "The Round Mound Of Rebound" has got to be an interesting person. Charles Barkley is serious and regal and joyous and athletic and always funny whether he's trash-talking NBA Legends on the basketball court or offering indispensable insight into the game while hosting his television talk show. The one thing Sir Charles has in abundance, aside from talent and numerous NBA records, is personality. He is one of the country's most watchable television stars and most beloved voices. There is no one who doesn't stop and listen when Sir Charles speaks. Fearless, transparent, wise beyond his years, spot-on insights, and a weary honesty that captivates are just some of the qualities and characteristics this giant possesses. Here on Phil In The Blanks, we are going to give The Man a platform to express himself so we may get to know him better than ever and enjoy all those things he can't bring forward on television. There is so much fun to have and so little time! For more information: https://www.drphilintheblanks.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
