Summary:Then, [CHARLES BARKLEY], world-famous sociologist, cut [Chuck Daly] off. "Can I add something to that?" Barkley said. "What he's trying to say diplomatically is that he's got brothers from the hood out there who've been hooping all their lives and can flat-out hoop all day long." That mission accomplished, the United States then conquered Argentina. Not quite as big a deal to Barkley, world-famous geographer. "I don't know what Argentina is famous for," he said. "Is that where my man Juan Valdez is from? Colombia? Colombia, Argentina _ they're all the same. Who are we playing next game?" Get the picture? More than any American player here, Charles Barkley is having the time of his life. Always loose and outspoken, he is running off at the mouth at record pace, singing, puncturing egos, telling foreign writers who can't understand him how ugly they are, ripping Philadelphia 76ers owner Harold Katz at every turn _ a motormouth with the pedal jammed perpetually to the floor.
