À propos de cet audio
The definitive biography of Charles Barkley, exploring his early childhood, his storied NBA career, and his enduring legacy as a provocative voice in American pop culture
He’s one of the most interesting American athletes in the past fifty years. Passionate, candid, iconoclastic, and gifted both on and off the court, Charles Barkley has made a lasting impact on not only the world of basketball but pop culture at large.
Yet few people know the real Charles. Raised by his mother and grandmother in Leeds, Alabama, he struggled in his early years to fit in until he found a sense of community and purpose in basketball. In the NBA he went toe-to-toe with the biggest legends in the game, from Magic to Michael to Hakeem to Shaq. But in the years since, he has become a bold agitator for social change, unafraid to grapple, often brashly, with even the thorniest of cultural issues facing our nation today.
Informed by over 370 original interviews and painstaking research, Timothy Bella’s Barkley is the most comprehensive biography to date of one of the most talked-about icons in the world of sports.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Seems like most of the work went into research, which seems thorough and is the primary redeeming feature.
Even the performance is tedious. Had to speed up the playback just to make it sound slightly normal. Also, this is a sports book. Please, please learn how to pronounce the last names of NBA all stars before laying down the track.
I think there’s a reason Chuck didn’t participate, at all, in this work. It just isn’t very good.
