"I am not a role model." With those words, Philadelphia 76ers power forward Charles Barkley entered millions of living rooms, sneakers squeaking and elbows flying. The black-and-white spot was created by Nike and Wieden & Kennedy, but it never showed a pair of sneakers. Still, over the course of his career, Sir Charles went through plenty of signature shoes — his own, and those of his golf buddy, Michael Jordan. Now a commentator on TNT and NBA TV, he tells some of the stories that went with them on the new show "Open Court," dicing it up with C-Webb, Kenny and Shaq. Click through the gallery and reminisce on Charles Barkley's Greatest Sneaker Moments. Just don't let him raise your kids.
