The man we know now is currently 49 years old. The 29-year-old version who was dominating for the Philadelphia 76ers and would move to the Phoenix Suns? Off the chain.

The Dream Team documentary aired on NBA TV on Wednesday night, and while I'll probably watch the film another 38 times on my DVR to reminisce on the old footage, the transparent dialogue and talk with my Uncle Bill about the experience 20 years ago, seeing Charles Barkley become the ultimate ambassador for America in Europe was simply amazing. Here are the best ten quotes for Sir Charles from the Dream Team documentary, and if you missed the documentary, then the Lord blessed you, because it's right here for online viewing. Big ups to @Jose3030 for the video and the photos.

Bonus quotes from Barkley responding to a stupid question about what happened when he was nine years old:
