22.02.1987. - Lakers@76ers: Magic & Worthy vs Charles Barkley, 80's Classic

[@johnmccann3964]

Worthy was just awesome in his prime. Loved watching him back then.

[@eomyenom1]

Why is this game more entertaining than what we see today? This was during a time when the league was its most popular

[@lanecore75]

I couldn't agree more. I think it's because the post game is dead and gone. No inside out play anymore. It's just fog up 3s from 35 ft. I watch replays from this era all the time. This is when the "NBA was Fantastic!!!."

[@CLewey44]

People know Barkley as some old chubby guy but he was absolutely unbelievable in his prime.

[@chieffranco5421]

He was a top 3 player in the league from 88 to 93.

[@BKNY84]

Barkley dunking over, outrebounding, and blocking Kareem, Worthy, AC Green, and Mychal Thompson. All guys much taller than Barkley. What a BEAST!

[@mikehoncho6084]

Barkley had hops!!!!

[@davengeance4811]

Sir Charles!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MoveInSilence23]

Showtime Lakers vs the Barkley Sixers. People forget how savage Barkley was on the court. Magic in his prime? None better. I miss this NBA

NOW THIS IS THE NBA I KNOW!!!

[@DoubleStar92]

Truly some great highlights in this. Barkley’s rebounding strength. Kareem’s low post hooks and even timely padding by guys like Rambis.

[@undergroundheatcypher1091]

This was when the NBA was at it's best and Kareem at his age was still a great player and Sir Charles didn't back down from anyone he was a beast!!

[@mikecapricorn313]

true classic with true NBA legends...

[@joemartin1253]

When the NBA was the NBA.

[@undergroundheatcypher1091]

Yup!!

[@davidholcomb9393]

Just seeing Barkley operate when he was young tells what kind of player he was. He came along when Moses and Doc were on their way out or that Sixers squad would have garnered another ring and maybe Barkley's only ring. Toney and Cheeks were old but still capable but its hard to replace Moses and Doc.

[@elwin38]

Plus Toney started having foot problems that eventually ended his career. Before those foot problems Andrew Toney was one of the best 2 guards in the league. If he had a couple more good years, he would've been a hall of famer. The Celtics called him the Boston strangler for a reason. That was one of the main reasons they traded for Dennis Johnson, to slow down Toney.

[@vincentparrella272]

Toney wasn't old,the stress Fractures destroyed his career.Its pretty sad.....With his talent and strength he could've done some great things.

[@rashard4]

Toney was not old he was severely injured.

[@lanecore75]

Was Barkley not an incredible player. Just watched him block Kareem's shot and then run the floor and finish on the other end. Incredible athlete who gave up a lot of inches but still dominated on the boards. Wow what a player.

[@oneadvocate9517]

Kareem with the nimble moves at 40.

[@wobblertv8083]

Sir Charles was so Quick for a big man .

[@mrgreenjeans1794]

This is a year after former Sixers GM Pat Williams decimated the team sending away Malone and two first round picks to Bullets for a broken down Jeff Ruland and sent 1st round pick Brad Daugherty to the Cavs for Roy no one remembers me Hinson. Moses was far from retirement and Daugherty became an allstar Center for Cavs. Oh , what might have been for Sixers.

[@HeathOverledger]

It’s wild to think Moses damn near had another decade in those legs!

[@carlostorres271]

Wow

[@mixkon1986]

Thnks for your great uploads. If you have a game between Kareem and Ewing at the late 80's please upload. There is only one game Lakers-Knicks of that era

[@biffalobull2335]

watching the highlights and you would've thought the Lakers won by 50.

[@troywilkinson160]

The good ole days. Basketball now is a crap.

[@DetroitLove4U]

I think the Spectrum was always had more animated louder fans than the Forum.

[@scottmartinets1000]

Man, that's great stuff

0:45 Unfortunately that winning tradition would die on Barkley's watch 💯

[@WiltChamberlainArchive]

What's strange to me is hearing what sounds like Tom Heinsohn on the mic for a Lakers / Philadelphia game? Is that Heinsohn or am I mistaken?

[@venden5188]

Yes he is

[@vernac86]

Best NBA player to never win a ring.

[@michaeln.2383]

I remember from when I was 13 years old that Barkley missed a free throw that would have won it at the end of regulation. What could have been.

[@robbie192]

76ers up 11 yet 80 percent of highlights are la lakers lol

[@slingblade8963]

would have been nice to see the attempt to win the game..

[@jhean7676]

Show the Toney highlights!

[@gturcott1]

Best Laker team ever

[@lucdaher]

Yeap... The kid from the movie Airplane was right

[@michaelcruz9839]

Barkley on his prime will murder leBron.
