Reviews"Charles Barkley always makes me laugh, and he always makes me think. He hasn't held anything back in his book -- if anything, this is the most personal I've ever seen him. The only whopper is the title: when has Barkley ever admitted to being wrong?" -- Tiger Woods "Whether you think he's wrong or right, you'll never find Charles Barkley dull, evasive or afraid. He's blunt, honest and funny as hell, a man with strong convictions and a determination to express them without fear of offending the sensibilities of more timid souls. He's got guts, and there's as much to admire in this book as there is in the man. In I May Be Wrong, But I Doubt It, Barkley refers to one of my campaigns as a rough experience. It might have been, but at least I never had to post up against Sir Charles. Now that would have been really hard." -- Senator John McCain "I find Charles to be great company on the golf course. Of course, he has never been shy about his opinions, and he has not changed for this book! Charles addresses issues that are important to all of us, not just people close to the game of basketball. Frank, funny and provocative, this is a book that will stir people to think." -- Dean Smith

SynopsisSince leaving the basketball court, Charles Barkley has become what Time magazine called "the most entertaining talking head in sports broadcasting . . . a mix of Yogi Berra neologisms and Winston Churchill drollery." The New York Daily News has said, "Barkley is a bona fide star. . . . He is candid. He is funny. Barkley is unpredictable. You must tune in to see what he will say next. This characteristic cannot be taught or manufactured. With Barkley, nothing is contrived."On air, he has held a prayer revival for a player in a slump, attempted to break the world record for sit-ups, and tracked weekly his failed attempts to lose weight -- but mostly he just tells it the way he sees it. Now he's written a book that captures his brash wit and unfettered insights into matters of B-ball and beyond, including popular culture, relationships, celebrity, money, and politics. It showcases all that Charles Barkley has seen and learned over the years, about basketball and a great deal else besides. Wise, blunt, surprising, and hilarious, I May Be Wrong, but I Doubt It is, above all, vintage Charles Barkley.
