NBA Legends And Players Explain What Made Charles Barkley Unstoppable

[@blacksuburban2410]

My favorite player ever. Pops used to take me to the Spectrum when I was a kid to watch Doc, Moses, Mo Cheeks, Andrew Toney, Chocloate Thunder, and Chuck

[@pierovittori1076]

Lucky man ❤

[@eboooo]

Those are the special memories, I love my Wizards and I treasure the memories of watching KG, Nash, Arenas and even Kwame Brown

Charles Barkley is one of a kind a true original. I dont think there will be another Charles Barkley.

[@HiNRGboy]

Barkley handling and passing like Pistol Pete and Bob Cousy geezus😱

[@noneyabizz8337]

He was one of the best in an era where guys tried 100% and weren't big babies. Dude was the mvp on the Olympic team, a team full of the best players to ever play.

[@demitriuswilliams4729]

ABSOLUTELY 💯

[@rolandclaro9459]

Absolutely 💯 correct

[@isaiahayers1550]

Still can't believe Magic said that. MJ was the best player on that team and it wasn't close. I'm a Lakers fan and have a ton of respect for Magic but that was crazy talk.

[@simplysimple7628]

Yup. Sir Charles had immense talent and heart. Especially at that size doing what he did amongst the paint of huge guys and the physicality is absolutely incredible. Loved Sir Charles man. Everyone tried to play like him.

It’s cool to see Charles get his love. The dude was a beast. I wish he could’ve won a championship.

[@TkLoc-iu6xr]

Sir Charles Barkley is one of the greatest players ever in NBA History and one of the favorite players

[@Giltr0y]

He actually improved and added more tools to his game with time. He was the most amazing player i have ever seen. I still remember his most insane moment : He was grabbing another defensive rebound while facing his own basket, then, while still mid air, he turned 180 and threw that ball all the way across the court to his teammate for an easy layup. Insane.

[@Reon_Govender]

CB34 was a BEAST. My favorite player of all time

My favorite player also 💯

[@sheltonterry6589]

Best ever!

[@drakeashtonmontefalco6603]

If Chuckster played today good sir.. it's an easy 25-30+ and add a couple of 10+ boards

[@coreydorsey4121]

Chuck avg about 25 and 12 rebounds in his prime. So today it would be closer to 30 with14 rebounds.

[@stargems]

all time fave. it's a privilege to watch him dominate on and off the court

[@KentW-dk7op]

hard not to love Barkley. he has always been a character. he was a legit great player

[@marvinjoseph3432]

Barkley is and always be A+Legends of the Game for sure. ❤ everyone loves you bro and TNT 🧨 crew. Theses men where Warriors

[@anagram8]

Coming from the era of the 70's, he reminded me of undersized center the late, great Wes Unseld in terms of how dominate he was at his size. Wes Unseld was a 6'7" center and was as tough as they come. He played against the legendary Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Bob Lanier, Jack Sikma, Bill Walton and of course Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for starters. Charles Barkley was dominate like that, check out his pass at the pass he whips at 8:40. That pass is ridiculous, full speed, moving away from the play, hitting a target moving toward the basket and hit him perfectly in stride. Even crazier is his teammate was expecting the pass from that far away.

[@different7623]

Zion is NOTHING like Barkley..💯

[@isaiahayers1550]

Well, their points, assists, steals and blocks numbers on a per game basis are pretty similar. They're also both undersized PFs, both listed at 6'6", and both very athletic and powerful. Zion can jump even higher and run faster since he's shredded, but Barkley was far more skilled and a much better rebounder and passer.

[@lapson19]

@@isaiahayers1550 Biggest difference between Zion and Barkley was mental. Barkley went for the kill EVERY NIGHT, he was extremely determined to dominate each game, which is what he did. Barkley was also much better shooter than Zion.

[@isaiahayers1550]

@@lapson19 all I'm saying is that it's inaccurate to say they're NOTHING alike. They've got clear similarities

[@tomodomo1000]

@user-ox5qd7mb6r Before he was a killer, he was a kid, who didn't want to be drafted by 76ers, overweight, talented but lazy. Then he took Moses Malone mentoring, and a star was born.

[@704jizzle2]

He is idk if you actually watch basketball but when healthy he is exactly like chuck but more athletic

[@daniel.j9062]

Growing up in the nineties, Charles was one hell of a gutsy, very talented athlete !!

[@h.j.victory6103]

He would definitely be unstoppable in todays basketball 🏀

[@kenhasibar2624]

Sir is a national treasure!

[@jameshuang6779]

I once saw him in a game in 1985-86. He was against a group of players who were much taller than he was and he was moving and shaking so fast and quick in the post on the offensive rebound, so spectacular. If only he is 6 foot 9.

[@giovannisanchez4063]

Charles Barkley would kill him in today’s basketball

[@N1120A]

Charles had a good stroke too. He took a lot of contested 3s. If he was isolated like they do today, he'd definitely improve there

[@commish8417]

He was my favorite player back in the day. What a beast of a player!

[@mudiabubakar8503]

Charles Barkley was awesome. Hell of a player!

[@dariuscanuto]

Sir Charles is one of the great basketball player in NBA history.🏀🎉

[@arkinsam7733]

oh man, i wish we can see a prime barley (phoenix suns version) to play in today’s NBA, he will eviscerate today’s PFs

[@77Ironside]

Freak of nature player. He was one of the players that I loved to watch because he always made me wonder. "How in the world did he do that? How could he do that easily against a taller player?" There were years when I was asking: "Who's better? MJ or Barkley?"

[@raypeden9287]

Charles was clearly top ten. Anyone who might deny Charles was one of the best ever either never saw him play or are deluded. In today's NBA, if it weren't for the obvious disadvantages of age and stamina, any player who might choose to disrespect his talents would get posterized on a nightly basis.

[@skipodap1]

He was such a great player. I love this guy

Charles Barkley would back you down and shoot over people. You could not stop this. He was big and fast he would average about 30pts. and 15 rebounds in today's NBA 😊 He was fun to watch.

[@lll9416]

Charles In Charge! 👏👏

[@Alayasha7]

Barkley would consistently average 30-32 points 13-15 boards and 5 assist, it’s possible he could do more, but sir Charles was truly a team player

[@zekesterboospirit8658]

Great video

[@dariusewing6962]

35 easy dude was one of my fav! Great post and face up game and could be clutch at time in big moments! aka the Round Mound of Rebound aka Sr. Charles - anything would be uncivilized! Great commercials! Gave David Robinson 50 and hit the game winner dude was a walking bucket

[@iamtex9593]

This is the era in my opinion and I'm pretty sure I can speak for everyone that was old enough to watch and appreciate this era there was no such thing as load management which makes it all the more impressive people really left it all on the court not to say that there aren't any players that do it in this day and age but it is soooooooooo different than back in the day

[@s.Kim34]

My favorite player 🏀

[@terrancethomas9792]

Saw him in college, charismatic: cheerleader told him to miss the free throw, he winked at her, and swished the shot. Later, he went coast to coast (yes, with the all that fat) slammed it arm.

[@Shdjdjxbdksk]

My favourite player of all time.

[@pasigiri]

Barkley's efficiency is underrated even at ~54%. Reason being is that he liked to shoot 3s every now and then, but wasn't really good from the arc. So technically speaking, his efficiency is better than one would think. People don't realize that Sir Charles literally the second best player in the league (behind a PRIME MJ) for good amount of time.

[@tomswill9189]

Love it

[@lunacy7605]

the gang misses u gala 🐐

[@manko717]

Charles would destroy people in the paint, now.

[@marshalljankins4526]

Sir Charles!!!

[@goodtrubble]

He changed how we picked guys at the park playing 5 on 5 ..Had to have a solid low post-round mound of rebound. height was no longer important.

[@bobbullethalf]

Love that guy!

[@fromdeathtolife1993]

I RESPECT MJ AS THE BEST TO EVERY PLAY... BUT CHARLES WAS HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE PLAYER GROWING UP...OVER MJ

[@ShaunTheNavigator]

In this era? Prime Chuck would probably have a couple of seasons where he would either get close to, or actually get to, 20 rebounds a game. He'd have SEVERAL seasons OVER 30 in this era. With SEVERAL seasons over 5 assists a game.

[@JackHawkinswrites]

Barkley came to Phoenix, I started watching basketball, going to some games. Game Six against the Bulls, seats in the last row in the building …. Then the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees…. Jerry Colangelo, an owner that wasn’t an a**hole

[@chilltheboss1959]

He said he was Lebron b4 LeBron and everyone laughed. You had to watch him to understand, he wasnt lying

[@terrancethomas9792]

Charles was a guard in high school. He grew 5 inches his senior year.

[@mikecadampog]

For sure he is gonna get more points but what will actually significantly increase is his assist and rebounds. In this era, there are a lot of shooters. If they double chuck down low, he will find that open man every time. In terms of rebounds, there arent a lot of great rebounders nowadays so he doesnt have a lot of competition like he used to.

[@ishie34]

Not that I was ever even going to play college ball, but I patterned my game after Charles. I chose #34 as well. I was a 5'8, thicker dude, playing a 4 position in high school and averaged 8 boards a game, and when I got going on offence, no one ever stepped in to take a charge against me. I even developed a decent shot once I saw him go to Phoenix and hit threes. Charles, in the off chance that you'll see this, thanks for the tip of jumping fences. Scared the hell outta me at first, but the hops came. And thanks for always speaking your mind, especially about them 'big ole women' in Texas.. hahahaha Ridiculous.. hahaha

Yeah, in that clip where he bumps his chest into Pippen, they look about the same size. No way he's 6'4".

So all the players in this video who said he was 6'4" are lying? Ok then

[@isaiahayers1550]

@@MrRoda8143 not lying but I doubt they had a measuring tape with them. Even 6'6" is short for a PF so you can see how they would've exaggerated his lack of height a little.

30 points a game easy 😀👍

[@Patawon]

That 6’4 narrative is played. Side by side with Mike they were basically the same height. I think I read he was 6’4 and 3/4 in socks. Which means he’s right at 6’6 in shoes, his listed height. He also has a 6’10 wingspan and a tremendous vert.

[@ishie34]

Charles would also not want to play in this era with all the rules 'protecting feelings'. You can't even dunk on a guy and tell him about himself, without getting fined or having some group come at you for hate speech.. Ugh.. Charles is a warrior in the garden, playing with gardeners at war..
