Imagine being called the "round mound of rebound" at 6'4. That's only an inch taller than Ja Morant or Steph. These guys like Chuck and Rodman are a different breed. Definitely deserving to be at the all time 75 list.

I cannot possibly describe the impact that Charles and the '92-93 Suns team had on The Valley (Phoenix area). My dad was a pilot for America West Airlines at the time, and they were going out of business and my dad was extremely close to losing his job (after being demoted due to the company filing for bankruptcy) - but them being the official sponsor of The Suns boosted their business and literally pulled them out of bankruptcy. Charles Barkley was so good...he saved thousands of jobs (and families) that year.

Charles' leaping ability isn't discussed enough. While he was big, he kept that weight down enough to still lend him the power. He was barely taller than a PG, and could outboard centers. Pretty astounding.

[@blessembreaks]

He was Zion before Zion.

[@bigsteppaswagg8796]

I was born in 1982 and sir Charles was playing for the sixers when I watched my very first nba game with my grandpop and he ended up be my favorite player and to this day I’m a die hard 76ers fan!!! But when Barkley was playing whatever team he was on that was my team cause of him!!! There will never be another guy like chuck lol

[@Wasserkaktus]

I will always associate him with the Suns more, as that is my team and I saw him carry the Suns to the Finals when I was a child.

This is the best description of Barkley ever. None of it made any sense. I loved MJ, Kareem and all the greats from that era, but Charles was my favorite. Played his prime in a terrible team, still winning 50+ games at times. Had to be double teamed as soon as he touched the ball. Man would be unstoppable today.

[@codem0de]

It's great to see the respect Shaq has for Chuck despite all their playful trash talk. And he didn't even bring up the rings!

The explosiveness was insane

[@bjt81366]

Being a 76ers fan I have been blessed to see real NBA game-changers through my life. It started with Doc. There was NO one like him when he arrived in Philly. The combination of grace and power (his dunks were vicious) was one-of-a-kind. Then Charles, well he looked like an out-of-shape football player. But, he was tenacious! He was a top athlete. Then AI, the opposite of Charles physically. The same 100% drive as Barkley and the fashion, swag, and style of a modern-day Dr.J. Now we have Embiid. Damn incredible. Also, we had Wilt but I wasn't around for him. The 6ers have had real game-changers every decade for 50 years.

Barkley is one of a handful of guys who truly did "break the mold" when it came to playing a position: him, Magic, Bird, and Akeem come to mind. In my mind, he is the best power forward of all time (I consider Tim Duncan a center, but even so, I'd take Barkley over him).

Shaq just exeggerated. He aint 6'4 he started as 6'6 and shrinked to 6'5 on later years(still impressive ofc). And Prime Barkley could've be the top PF offensively in terms of raw talent and versatility. And when people talking about best rebounders its always like Dennis Rodman, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell this 3 is the top 3 rebounders. But I dont agree. First of all between late 50s to early 70s all superstars centers and power forwarsd has at least 1 20+ rebound per game season and couple of 18+ rebound per game seasons. It was about the shooting percentage and pacing. It wasnt only special to Russell and Chamberlain yes these 2 even better than rest of it but not a huge margin. Nate Thurmond, Walt Bellamy, Wes Unseld, Bob Pettit, Jerry Lucas (6-8 guy has 2 20+ rebound per game season) or SF like Elgin Baylor (6'5) has two 18+ rebound per game season. And most of the time he is a 12-13+ rpg player thru out his career. Gus Johnson a 6'6 SF/PF mostly averages 12 t o15 rpg. Or how 6'4 Oscar Robertson average triple doubles with 10-11 rebound early in his career. So imo rebounding in 60s are very overrated stats. Like asists today. Its about pacing and shooting percentage. What Bill Russell doing with the boards wasnt something special to him. He wasnt better than Nate Thurmond but he was winning. Only Chamberlain was making a bit more difference with 24 rpg seasons. And between Rodman and Charles. Rebound was Dennis's first priority. Actually other than scoring all the rest was his game. Great pick & roll passer, great 1 v 1 defender, great help defender, great trash talker, can get somebody's under the skin easily, great rebounder and perimeter/post defender if he want to be. And even tho he was 6 cm longer than Charles and have better wingspan he was undersized for his position too. But Charles. Charles was 6'5 - 6'6 at most and he was wasting huge energy on offense. 80s and 90s were big men dominant era (Jordan and his team was the only bug of the meta) and Charles was facing 6'9 to 7'1 opponents everyday on offense. So ? And he was even than 12+ rpg every season almost. So imo Charles might be even better rebounder than Dennis even tho he wasnt as focused as Rodman. Charles is a very underrated athlete imo. ANd if you ask me my top 5 all time rebounders ? 1- Rodman or Charles 2- Chamberlain 3- Moses Malone 4- Hakeem 5- Jason Kidd (why ? Cuz he aint as athletic as Westbrook he aint as big as Magic or LBJ as a playmaker, he aint played in 60s like Big O) and still this dude has 8+ rpg season and multiple 7 rpg seasons and even have 10 -11 rpg play-off runs even after his 30 years old of age. He is boxing and positioning IQ is uncanny. I mean in 2006 Play-offs (could be 2008 too) He tormented Young, Prime Chris Bosh in terms of boxing him out he was a 30+ year old overweight 6'3 , 6'4 PG)
