I heard of Savage, but who is Charles Barkly?

He didn't sound bad at first. Then he just couldn't hold up his end.

I like this guy Savage, he sounds like me, only warm and soft and cuddly.

Charles Barkely was the very entertaining basketball player who failed to bring a championship to Phoenix because he spent all his time getting so blasted with his teammates that it always took them an entire half to shake their hangovers, and who was a dominant rebounder who wasted that talent by continually shooting threes.
