I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It Audible Audiobook – Abridged

Charles Barkley (Author, Narrator), edited by Michael Wilbon (Author), Random House Audio (Publisher)

Charles Barkley has never been shy about expressing his opinions. Michael Jordan once said that we all want to say the things that Barkley says, but we don't dare. But even die-hard followers of the all-time NBA great, the star of TNT's Inside the NBA and CNN's TalkBack Live, will be astonished by just how candid and provocative he is in this book - and just how big his ambitions are. Though he addresses weighty issues with a light touch and prefers to stir people to think by making them laugh, there's nothing Charles Barkley shies away from here - not race, not class, not big money, not scandal, not politics, not personalities, nothing.

If there's one thing Charles Barkley knows, it's the crying need for honest, open discussion in this country - the more uncomfortable the subject, the more necessary the dialogue. And if the discussion leader can be as wise, irreverent, (occasionally) profane and (consistently) funny as Charles Barkley, so much the better. Many people are going to be shocked and scandalized by I May Be Wrong but I Doubt It, but many more will stand up and cheer. Like Molly Ivins or Bill O'Reilly, Charles Barkley is utterly his own thinker, and everything he says comes from deep reflection. One way or another, if more blood hasn't reached your brain by the time you've finished this book, maybe you've been embalmed.

I love this book. Written nearly 20 years ago the book may be even more relevant today. Charles Barkley is a very smart man. Virtually everyone will gain something from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sir Charles is a role model, like it or not!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2021

It would be hard to disagree with most of the things Charles has to say in his book. He is right on about issues of race in America. I hope he will read my book titled Growing Up in Indiana; The Culture & Hoosier Hysteria Revisited because I think he would be taken aback when he reads some of the racial issues I experienced in growing up in Klu Klux Klan country. The only thing I disagreed with in the book is when Charles included a chapter titled I Am Not a Role Model. He explains that parents and teachers should be role models and claims athletes and other celebrities should not be looked upon as role models. I agreed with coach Johnny Wooden when he said, "Athletes are role models whether they like it or not."

5.0 out of 5 stars I May Be Wrong, But I Doubt It
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2009

Barkley's book "I May Be Wrong, But I Doubt It" isn't the most well written literature of the time by any stretch, but it is full of common sense thoughts and language that most people can agree or disagree about without being disagreeable. It's like being at a bar and hearing his toughts on the various subjects and controversies that have come up in his career and in our society in the lats 20 years. I found myself shaking my head up and down and ha a hard time putting the book down.
It is an easy, relaxing read.

The book was an easy read. Although, If I cared about sports it probably would have given it 5 stars. He does speak some truth, but it always goes back to sports. I figured it would, but I don't regret the read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not an autobiography
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2013
Verified Purchase
Although I knew this wasn't an autobiography I thought it would still have a lot of anecdotes and such, really its a pretty boring (considering Chuck's TV person is anything but boring) selection of random things Sir Charles has a problem with, and has little humour in it, but maybe fans of his will still find it interesting

5.0 out of 5 stars NBAと世の中の不条理に関心があるなら必読の一冊！！
Reviewed in Japan on November 30, 2004
Verified Purchase
バークリーの、あるいはNBAのファンのみならず、（米国の)社会問題について関心がある人にも強力にアピールする一冊です。この本の値打ちは、バークリー自身のNBA選手としてのキャリアの回顧や親しい選手仲間についての記述にもありますが、広くアメリカ社会に巣食う諸問題についても鋭く切れ込んでいるところです。著者には失礼ですが、「バークリーって意外とインテリで、いろんなことを真剣に考える人物なんだな」と、ファンの一人として彼にホレ直しました！彼は無遠慮にして失礼な毒舌家だと誤解されがちですが、実は大変勇気のある、自身に真っ正直なコメンテイターなのです。
