And his appetite. Of course, if he gets too enthusiastic here, he can always
make a bid to become the first ex-NBA player to start an NFL game as a
defensive end. :-)

That's easy. Crybobby Knight didn't like the way he played D.

I agree it was too bad he didn't make the Olympic team; I would have enjoyed
watching the poor Hong Kong team member assigned to guard Barkley try and
keep him off the boards. But, with all the talent available for the squad
and only 18 places to put them, there wasn't room for a player Knight
thought of as somewhat one-dimensional. And that's the way it goes.
