00:00Now people say, why do you live in Philadelphia?

00:03When you come here, you know, it's not easy, Sonny.

00:07This is not an easy city, but it's an amazing city to play in.

00:11Because if you bust your hump, they're going to give you nothing but love.

00:14Now if you don't bust your hump, you're going to think, Charles Barkley, you suck.

00:19You're going to think that's your middle name, my boy Matt.

00:23But I just want to say thank you, Bobby.

00:27Bobby, you, Doc, Moses, Maurice, Andrew, Tony, Clement Johnson, Clint Richardson, World B, Gerald.

00:37There's one person here who's probably the most important person in my basketball life, Moses Malone.

00:43You know, we lived in the same building when I first got to Philadelphia.

00:48And I said, Moses, why am I not getting to play?

00:52And Moses says, you're fat and you're lazy.

00:55I said, I don't understand it.

00:56He said, which part?

00:56The fat or the lazy part?

00:59And this guy, who's one of the best to ever do it, you guys know that.

01:05He said, Charles, you can't play basketball at 300 pounds.

01:11You got to get in shape.

01:12So this guy met with me every day before practice, after practice.

01:18He said, we're going to lose 10 pounds.

01:20I get to 290, lose 10 more, get to 280, 270, 260, 250.

01:26I actually got to 240, but I had no strength or energy.

01:28He got me down to 250 pounds, and the rest is history.

01:32And I will never forget Moses Malone.

01:36You know, when he passed away, it was tough for me.

01:39And one of the most bittersweet things I've ever did in my life when I had to do the eulogy at his funeral.

01:45It was amazing and sad at the same time.

01:50But I just want to say thank you.

01:53Man, it's been a great journey for me.

01:56When you grow up in Leeds, Alabama, and the projects, and all these 56 years later, you're standing in front of, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,

02:06and you've had this amazing journey.

02:08All you can really say is thank you.

02:12You know, Billy said some things I think I hope today's players understand.

02:15Man, we are so lucky.

02:17We're so blessed to dribble a stupid basketball for a living.

02:22We are so lucky and blessed.

02:25Always sign autographs.

02:27Always take pictures.

02:30Just try to be cordial.

02:32Because the fans, they're the best thing about this whole dynamic.

02:35But just appreciate how lucky we are to dribble a stupid basketball.

02:41We're not like a teacher, fireman, a policeman, a doctor, or somebody like that.

02:45Somebody got a real job who's out there every single day battling.

02:50So, just feel so lucky and blessed.
