"Maybe most tragically, Barkley falls short even as a minstrel character. What marked the best vaudeville characters, like Bert Williams, was a double-consciousness that subverted the surface performance. The comedy was delicately layered and ironic; the discerning observer could see the genius behind the mask of the sad clown.

In Barkley’s case, you get the sense he has played the clown for so long, and has been so handsomely rewarded for it, he long ago lost the border between the self and the costume. Maybe there never was a border. Maybe, when you peel back Sir Charles’ sad clown mask, you find an even sadder clown, one who has never realized that he devolved into the cruelest joke of all: A tragic punchline devoid of both humor and humanity."


This ending is incredibly well written

As a player, Barkley was a once-in-a-generation talent, so prodigious an athletic specimen, he succeeded in spite of a legendarily negligent work ethic. As a thinker, he is even lazier than he was as a player, but with none of the God-given gifts to counterbalance his intellectual indolence.

@Walt don't feed the trolls. They're jealous and insignificant. You were able to voice what many of us have been saying about Barkley for years. And you did it on a medium (Sports Illustrated) that is owned by Turner. Props to you breh

Are you exclusively writing for SI or you freelancing?
