Charles Barkley on Conan: I once tipped $25,000

Sir Charles was a guest on Conan O'Brien's show on Thursday night and was his typical jovial self. One of the funnier segments was when Chuck unloaded on Shaq for doing too many endorsement deals and rubbing too much lotion on his fake body. Then he gets into some talk about tipping and admits to giving a single tip for $25,000 at the casino after winning a cool, $700,000.

Charles on tipping: "I think it's important when you're successful... you know, the waiters, the waitresses, the blackjack dealers... they work extremely hard, they don't get a great salary. I think the more successful you are, the more you should tip. I truly believe that."

Andy on Chuck's $25,000 tip after winning $700,000: "In that context, you're kind of a cheepskate."

Charles on the cheapest guys: "There's nobody cheaper than Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan."

Charles on Shaq: "I think I figured out why he's always rubbing lotion on his body all the time. That's the only way he can get his fatass in a Buick."

Charles on football players: "I played football one day in my life then I realized they a bunch of damn idiots. They just finding out 30 years later you're gonna have head injuries. I found out after one day."

On falling asleep during broadcast: "Shaq and Kenny are so damn boring I can't stay awake."

And finally some golf:
