While he won his only NBA MVP his first season in Phoenix and that was his only Finals. You're right, his best individual years were in Philly. Chuck would have got his ring, if he arrived one year early. Dr J & Moses were getting older and that last chip, sorta emptied their tank. I just started watching ball as a kid with my dad in the early 80s. Charles is definitely one of the best PFs ever. The way he played in the 1993 Finals was incredible. Unfortunately, MJ literally matched him and overtook him. Very few players could do that, in such a pressure cooker. One of my favorite finals matches, even though it only went to 6 games.

Sir Charles was a special player. Doesn’t get enough love in my opinion when people bring up the greats from that era.

As a kid in the 90s, Chuck was hands down my favorite player. I had a full purple Suns Barkley uniform and the poster on my wall way back when. MJ was no 1. But Chuck was the most fun.

My fav super Nintendo game was Barkley's Shut up and Jam. If was the first street basketball game with ghettos court.

I'm from New Zealand, but remember the Dream Team well. It was widely reported, with alot of amazement, how Charles Barkley would leave his hotel room and take in the sights like any other tourist.

[@Youngkel95]

Barkley has epic stories 😂 😂 very underrated

[@GopherHayes]

Charles has Muhammad Ali’s smile and an amazing personality

[@drew31dm]

My favorite power forward

[@jdspencer60]

Barkley was super strong, that's what most people don't realize. he wasn't anywhere near the best skill level but he was one of those dudes that is just an absolute powerhourse compared to other people. Ben Wallace was like that too

[@BoldenFMA]

That dude was NEVER fat. He was burly and country strong asf 💯

[@lightbeforethetunnel]

Barkley is often overlooked because he refused to be in the 2k video games. A lot of ppl judge who the best players are by those games, these days. Plus, everyone is overlooked in the MJ era.

'Sir Charles' is the Realist ever!

[@momentswithmel7599]

Underrated player and storyteller
