As a few know here I used to work in the CNN building and had several opportunities to meet Barkley at the "Watering hole" down stairs...If I had to pick two words for him that he would approve I would say " Shy and Aloof" he is a nice guy and not as Racist as he seems on TNT...he has a great sense of humor and is just an all round over weight former player that is a good guy..no matter what your race, G=Cracker..LOL
