Charles Barkley just turned 60 years old last month, and on Sunday, he fed himself a little dose of reality regarding the remaining years of his life and what he enjoys doing outside the broadcast booth.

Barkley appeared on "60 Minutes" and spoke glowingly about being a grandparent. His daughter Christiana just had a son, and Barkley called it the "greatest thing that’s ever happened to me in my life." 

While he spoke about his newfound love for being a grandparent, he said on the CBS program he understands he’s on the "back nine" of his life.

Barkley added that he hoped his grandson would eventually research him when he gets a little older.

"I hope he does some research on me," he said. "I'll be long gone, but I would like him to know that I accomplished some things in my life."

The Alabama native who won an MVP award with the Phoenix Suns also recalled learning the moment his daughter was not going to be a basketball player.

"That was brutal. She was 6 feet tall from, from birth," he said with a laugh. "I'm gonna have the best female basketball player in the world. I can't wait till she's old enough.
