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.

"It lives up to the hype," the Basketball Hall of Famer said. "I want to spend time with him, because I'm not morbid, I'm not upset, I'm on the back nine. I hope I'm on hole 10 or 11, but you never know. I could be on 17 and 18. So I wanna spend as much time with him as possible. And then when he gets older, I want him to Google me."

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."
