Once again Charles Barkley speaks the truth.

Charles Barkley is 'sick and tired' of student-athletes getting told 'free education is nothing' | Fox News

Barkley has been a proponent of highlighting the importance of the free education part for young student-athletes.

He made the same point in an interview with Graham Bensinger in April 2016.

"I do this little science experiment when I speak at schools. Let’s say I’m at a white school. I ask how many kids want to play pro sports. Less than 10 percent raised their hand. They say they want to be doctors, lawyers, engineers. But when I speak at predominantly black schools 90 percent of kids want to play sports," he said in that interview.

"There are a couple that say they want to be doctors which makes me really proud. Our kids are brainwashed if they think they can only play sports or be entertainers. You gotta a better chance to be a doctor or a lawyer than playing in the NBA. There are 400 players in the NBA. What are the chances you are going to be one of the 400 players in the world? I’m not trying to bash their dreams, I wish everybody can do it, but you also have to be realistic. You are not going to play in the NBA; who are we kidding."...

Shaquille O'neal has a PhD. Why isn't his education, and the path he used to obtain it, being promoted more?
