I kind of like Charles Barkley. He's worked hard to be the bad boy of the courts while hiding all of his charity work. It was brought out in a recent interview and he said he didn't want to talk about it, he didn't do it to talk about it.
I also liked that he said he'd never worked a day in his life. He said doing something you love isn't work. He loves basketball and first he played, now he does commentary. He says its not work, its a joy.
Of course he says what he thinks so that will bite him in the butt in the political realm.
