“When I die I want people to say, ‘Oh, that’s sad,’ and be sad for a little bit, and then keep it moving,” Barkley said. “I mean that sincerely, though. Listen, y’all know that, and I’m not afraid to said it: When some people die, we’re like, ‘Glad that person’s gone.’
“When I die I want em to say, ‘Aw, he was a good dude,’ and keep it moving. Because life does not stop. It’s a journey, it’s not a destination.”
