LeBron Fan Reacts to Charles Barkley's Greatness

[@willybeamon]

People either forgot or don’t know how good Charles Barkley was. I watched this dude and he was a straight up beast

[@CJ-111]

Charles is without a doubt, one of the greatest players of all time and arguably the greatest to never do it

[@Biostalker420]

In the 1993 Western Conference Finals, Charles Barkley led the Phoenix Suns to victory over the Seattle SuperSonics with a 44-point, 24-rebound performance in Game 7. This earned the Suns a trip to the NBA Finals.

[@marcelthomas216]

Epic performance 🔥🔥🔥

[@JSRLPadre]

I'm a Laker Lifer, but Sir Charles Barkley, First of his name, Destroyer of Godzilla, Who never backed down down from Shaq, was my favorite baller of the 90s. And I aint lying about the never backing down part. If a brawl started on the floor, he went for the biggest dude's neck consistently.

[@scraigrogers]

The young fella says "I aint know my man Charles was like that"..."he was a hot head??" Where there dudes daddys be?! That was Charles reputation!

[@FUBAR1986]

13:56 when Barkley hit the scene nobody I mean nobody ever that size was that fast🥴🫵☮️❤️🙏🌍🌎🌏

"im not a role model, im paid to wreck havoc on a basketball floor...parents should be role models" one of the more iconic 90s nike commercials. hes always been one of the more straight shooters in all of professional sports but the fact he also owns the times hes messed up speaks to his character.

[@user-hp8th1ux1e]

Charles was savage. His his entire career! 😂

[@leechrec]

Barkley averaged more points, rebounds, assists, steals, and better shooting percentage than Tim Duncan. He was a beast.

[@clanc433]

In a minutes per game stats they are pretty much identical. Duncan had a lot of years late in his career where he was playing 15-20 minutes a game. Still a monster, but I'd rather have TD.

[@lamontewilliams203]

Give me prime Charles...

[@BassoNero]

Chuck was actually 6'4" which makes his accomplishments even greater. After the spitting incident, if I'm not mistaken, he spoke to her the family, apologised and I think he got them tickets for the rest of the season.

[@DJ_Muzizk]

I remember being 9 yrs old watching that finals of PHX vs CHI. I was a Jordan and Barkley fan. That triple OT was unbelievable and I felt bad for the SUNS. Zion could've been the next Barkley.

[@rsc154]

Dominique Wilkins would be a good video. Slept on heavy. While MJ was winning those scoring titles Dominique was right there with him in PPG from 84-85 to 93-94

[@Bighjr88]

If it wasn’t for Mike, to me que would’ve been the most exciting dunker in the game back than.

[@rickyl9202]

Growing up as a kid I could not tell who was better. They were both amazing.

[@gablen23]

The Human Highlight Film! The nickname is not accidental. He was my favorite player beside Jordan.

[@BeerBreath702]

He was one of my favorites growing up. I wish him and drexler would get more attention.

[@fredbegin3850]

My favorite Barkley quote" If all babies are beautiful, why is there so many ugly people in the world " lol

[@sonza68]

My favorite was from 1997 after he threw a guy out a window at a bar. When asked by the judge if he had any regrets, he responded "Yeah I regret we weren't on a higher floor."

[@adamani08]

Should have watched his highlights. That dude was a linebacker in transition, and in the post, and he could shoot, and he played defense and grabbed rebounds. Barkley is one of the best to ever do it. A missing championship doesn't define how great of a player he was.

[@FirstBallot7]

Unfortunately Bro, its a number of all time greats that couldn't get a chip because MJ stood in the way. People don't consider the teams and players that never even got to the finals because they got knocked out of the playoffs in either the eastern semi final or eastern conference finals. There probably would have been more of hall of famers that got at least one ring as they may have had a better chance at beating other teams if they didn't have to face MJ and the Bulls because Mike definitely was a difference maker, far more superior than even the best of the best! So, I don't knock any hall of famers from the 90s era that didn't get a chip because several of them probably get at least one if they never ran into MJ.

[@Simon-Sjokvist1995]

but he only played against electricians and plumbers according to everyone xD

[@gablen23]

Yep, the list is long, Malone, Stockton, Barkley, Ewing, Drexler, Kemp, Payton, Mourning etc.

Latrell Spreewell..., gotta react to Spree., dude put in good work n almost won a ring....!!!!!!

[@devonstokes7150]

There were several stars that didn't win rings in that era because they had to go up against MJ. It's wasn't like this era where all stars team up and form super teams. In this era everybody gets a turn, MJ made it his business to keep those other stars from winning.

[@dicktrickle741]

[@ftnrbhmwk]

You mean MJ and Scottie? I wonder why people always LEAVE OUT Scottie Pippen? 🤔.

[@devonstokes7150]

@ftnrbhmwk because MJ was the main guy. He was the one they went to in the clutch, the one the other teams were worried about.

[@ftnrbhmwk]

@devonstokes7150 And they weren't worried about Scotty Pippin? Interesting answer. 🤔

[@Jonw8222]

Barkley was one of those players that could play any position, he could run the floor, pass well, shoot well, even from deep, post up and rebound. He could defend as well because he was undersized but could jump. A very fiery competitor. By the way, in the 90's.. when Jordan was around, there was no doubt he would win. Every one else never had a chance.. and I wasn't even a Bulls fan. When Shaq was with the Lakers it was similar but nothing compared to Jordan and the Bulls..

[@kevinjones7395]

I love that you're learning the history by putting in the work.

[@DustySides]

Prior to KD, Chuck was the best to ever suit it up in Phoenix. IMHO he was more dominant than Nash who had a much better supporting cast, and we got Shaq when he was a shadow of his former self.

[@Lokahi-fo-life]

I’m glad you brought luck into the conversation of winning a championship. Skill is more important than, but luck or good fortune are often overlooked.

[@davidca96]

Chuck was one of the most physically strong for his size guys to play in the NBA. He was VERY strong, he could body guys twice his size and bully them. He also had hops, you wouldnt think a guy built like him could jump like he could.

[@Simon-Sjokvist1995]

Going after them 7footers as 6'4 3/4. amazing ballplayer

The amount of great players getting c__kblocked from the ring in the 90s by THAT ONE MAN, it's insane bro.

[@mychaljames8025]

[@davidleach4689]

[@Thanos1908]

Chuck was a great player and was so fun to watch. He just could not get the stars to align for him to get that ring. If things were done back then the way they are today, Barkley would have just went to the Bulls and got his championships there.

I wanted Chuck to beat Jordan so bad but he just couldn’t get past him like all others during MJ’s run. He was my favorite because his personality was the best he was straight up and not polished! He was a killer player and total legend!

[@JesusRolls]

Yes it's true. A lot of hoopers from that era never got jewelry, and as a young Bulls fan during that time it was fun watching Mike and the boys send them home empty handed. You know what they say "Ain't no party, Like an MJ party". And that's champagne not baby oil for you LBJ fans.

[@edwardthames9003]

Yeah Barkley used to get a lot of technical from refs, get a lot of fines for things he said. He even threw a guy through a window in a night club. He famously said he wasn't a role role. Nike even did a whole add campaign around Barkley saying he's not a role model. At the same time MJ and Gatorade had the "be like Mike" ad campaign. So remember that when you hear Sir Charles talk about other players off court activities. His was worst than Rodman's.
