Fuck Yea[h] NBA

SLAM: As an Auburn alum, what are your thoughts on Charles Barkley’s admission that he took agent money while he played there?
MD: Charles is always gonna be Charles. He says what people wanna hear and need to hear. Charles is a great friend. I still remember the first time I met Charles. The school was retiring his jersey and he came into the locker room and said to us: “This is my day, don’t fuck it up.”

SLAM: Sounds like the Chuckster. What’s something else you remember his saying to you about playing in the League?
MD: He told me to never be a “What if” guy. Never say “what if” about how you played the game. Always go hard. Always play hard. So when you look at yourself in the mirror each night, you never had to say what if.
