A WIKIPEDIA READING

This seemed to be a reading of his Wikipedia page. No mention of all of the great stories at gambling and friendships outside of basketball.. It would have been nice to have the narrator actually pronounce some of the other names correctly and simple things like stating someone's record the correct way. The only positive I can think of is that it was only a couple hours of my time that I cannot get back.

The worst reader

I guess they picked the guy that read this on quality of voice and not exceptional reading capabilities. In the future, anyone hired to read these audiobooks need to do a little research on name pronunciation, and punctuation flow.

I didn't realize

of course I know the name of Charles Barkley I grew up in that area. But after listening to this book and then watching YouTube videos I had no idea he was that explosive, that fast. After listening to this audio book, I'm even more impressed, years after his play, of how great he was.
