NBA On TNT - Charles Barkley Battles Rasheed Wallace! Blazers @ Rockets December 1996

[@LuisBaez-wh6em]

Sir Charles Barkley was and is the true power forward in the world baskeball

[@77Ironside]

To me, the greatest PF ever.

[@peterfissa8556]

And he only 6'4

[@bdww4072]

You're right Sheed was amazing!

[@maxstrah9980]

Dont forget Karl Meloune and Kevin McHale also... 90's are best era in allmost every sport, especealy in basketball. Wish you all the best, greeting from Serbia!

[@tvtechwonv27]

No way Timmy Duncan is the greatest PF in NBA history.

[@Daewonnni]

To ME as well. This is him when he lost his legs. The Sixers Barkley in my opinion was the best.

[@adamkarimian7137]

More intensity in that single regular season game than the entire of last year's playoffs

[@coolrockie2677]

Man that’s real basketball The battles the talent the moves The grit the grind The no backing down Priceless Born in 91 and as became a man they say who yo favorite players or team I always keep it old skool Just can’t replace the guys from back then who were before you

[@MDBBall]

👍

[@isiahspencer3028]

Man, those was the days I miss those days

[@numnumm6836]

Those highlights of Kevin Willis caught me off guard 😂

[@elai3147]

old chuck vs young rasheed, and he's about half a foot shorter, amazing

[@lacolem1]

And Sheed’s a great defender too

[@lil_bear]

Two of the best power forwards to ever play. Their styles are pretty similar actually. Great post moves, and a lot of intensity. Man i miss this era of basketball. Its not the same anymore.

[@oppailover5439]

What a competitor this man Charles Barkley

[@cornerstorescoff]

My 2 all time favorite Pf ‘s battling each other 💯

[@MDBBall]

👍

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

Even though he was a step slower in comparison to his prime as a Sixer and Sun he did pretty good

[@buravan1512]

BARKLEY's problem was the Weight, this decreased his speed... JORDAN had the same problem, but he was very effective at cutting weight quickly.

[@TPWM]

Sabonis could barely move here…..but was still schooling younger guys. Deserves a nice highlight reel too.

[@51D40]

That man chuck was a demon in the paint he dominated that game

[@scarletspider1240]

Back when regular season games felt like modern game 7s in the playoffs. I wish the NBA could / would get back to this.

[@rodolfocruz7368]

Ora todos los deportes ya cambiaron ya los jugadores ya son de cristal

[@jonathanfan3709]

He would score 60 on Draymond

[@donnyadityawan8991]

💯 facts

[@lawrenceli2834]

DG would be ejected before that

[@CarloWilburn-w9z]

I miss watching him play so much

[@clendonrobinson6867]

Draymond would punch Barkley and get away with it.

[@HeathOverledger]

@@clendonrobinson6867Barkley would respond by putting him through a plate glass window and not be arrested.

[@joegevorkyan7308]

What a great upload man. How miss these days… travels being called. Well the Ball don’t lie and neither does MDBBall!

[@MDBBall]

😁

[@delfi7325]

Barkley was amazing

[@adamrenfrow]

That was a great game.

[@sebastianliwinski222]

Take a look how they battled back then... That's proper Basketball game...

[@drei9]

Damn Chuck was almost unstoppable in the paint inspite his height and age here.

[@donmiguelarkanghel9537]

Sheed is a great defensive player, has length and is also athletic but an Old Chuck is eating him alive in the post. Dude was a monster despite being undersized for his position. Him and Mailman was just unfortunate playing against the GOAT in the Finals.

[@killerecho]

Chris Dudley reminds me of Craig Ehlo in how he's always trying his damndest but just cannot get a break. Dude wasn't even playing bad defense but just kept getting owned again and again.

[@clendonrobinson6867]

Only memory of Chris Dudley is Shaq throwing him a aside like a chewed gum.😅

[@psmatt]

Man Willis was seeing ghosts out there

[@slingblade8963]

Barkley and TNT go way back

[@princeprince9227]

The refs called traveling on routine plays today lol

[@motorsportfan1246]

Against young Rasheed and the giant Arvydas Sabonis.

[@askherbs]

Sir Charles was a raging bull during his time.

[@coreyrowe4119]

Charles Barkley's arrival gave Houston a nice shot of life in 96-97, unfortunately it had completely worn off by the following season.

[@PIP...33]

NOPE, THEY ACTUALLY MESS RUDY T'S PLAYBOOK.

[@perditadurango9699]

@@PIP...33 Tomjanovich changed whole system to suit Barkley . He had many hips surgeries, lack of pass and most matter defense. Sad to see or say but Thorpe, Kenny and Drexler could 3peat ! Original playbook was inside-out with high ball movement around Olajuwon. But with SIR turns out into ISO every possession even David Stern banned 5+ seconds rule cause of Chuck.

[@PIP...33]

@@perditadurango9699 I THINK BALL MOVEMENT WAS DIFFERENT CAUSE OLAJUWON TOUCH EVERY THE FIRST BALL TO PUT EVERY CENTER IN FOUL TROUBLE IN FIRST 7 MINUTES THEN HE FEAST ON BENCH LOW RATINGS BIGS. AND THEN TRIPLE TEAM START TO COME SO BALL MOVEMENT START TO ROLL ON WIDE OPEN 3'S

[@perditadurango9699]

@@PIP...33 .Something like that. But I rather think Hakeem goes earlier to bench in 2 case: if he outplay center and put him in fatigue, or put him in foul trouble to save his fouls for late and 4th Q . Vs Shaq, he by the Kenny's words demand ball as soon as possible to limit pushing bumping into Shaq and losing unnecessary stamina. So that first touch was as soon as Penny is not in passing lane. It was problem to dime near them cause they had very long team (reason why Bulls cry for Ron Harper cause Penny was better than Jordan they need length in lineup) so that length was main problem to find Hakeem so Horry would start early on SF to drag attention outside to stop traffic in passing lane so Kenny can find Hakeem as soon as possible. Problem with Orlando was thin bench. So Hakeem urge to put work on Shaq to outplay him earlier in game so his fatigue will be problem in late of game. With Barkley that changed everything because concept was to use Olajuwon as mid range forward while Barkley post up every time in center spot.

[@PIP...33]

@@perditadurango9699 YEAH U COULD NOT DOUBLE TEAM THEM WITH THAT STRATEGY. ESPECIALLY CUSTOM SECRET X-FACTOR LINEUP WHEN THORPE GOES TO BENCH AND HORRY FROM SF TO PF. THEY BECAME UNBEATABLE. I THINK THEY ARE 9-2 VS JORDAN AND BULLS.

[@titanhovey]

Love the old days, they used to call travel no matter how famous your ass are 😂😂😂

[@Classicbasketballdvds]

woulda been a great playoff matchup that year

[@TwoWay-xX]

He had really good stats as a rocket and unfortunately got injured.

[@waldoesj]

Kevin Willis with those raptor arms,....so bad

[@tomaszsadowski1515]

My No.2 , but very well. First is GS with Webber vs. Orlando with Shaq.

[@마메보이]

좋은 영상 감사합니다

[@MDBBall]

👍

[@Franky-i8v]

I always think Barkely's game can be lift to a new level if his footwork is better.

[@hectorlopez1069]

A great game with the rockets, but his best years were with the sixers and suns.

[@FibaFanatic]

Where do we submit fan questions?

[@scarletspider1240]

The biggest takeaway from this is that all of todays "superstars" wouldn't be as "good" as they are if traveling was actually called like it's supposed to be.

[@buravan1512]

This ROCKETS 🚀 Team was capable of winning another CHAMPIONSHIP, but the problem was that the Flow of the game was different, and their bench wasn't as effective as once was.

[@payeeang7838]

Nope the problem is hakeem is not the dream anymore

[@kgthoughts]

😂CB eating up young hotheaded sheed…It’s not shame either CB was older but could still ball out those first couple yrs in Houston, they just never got the right group of players on the roster for rotation and spacing to optimize CB and Dream…

[@michaelallen8112]

Aight Maalwebu showing Sheed losing back to back game now🧐🧐🧐👀💢😕

[@MDBBall]

Yikes didn't realize that Michael I'll have to make up for that one he he

[@jayrodriguez9211]

Sheed was physical finesse

[@yourfavelas3647]

Doc's voice here.....

[@sidmichael1158]

Kevin short trex arms thats why he missed

[@donnyadityawan8991]

Hes old, slow n cant jump nomore bur still outclass the younger opponents.

[@furboise]

He wouldve had a triple double if Kevin willis made all those layups

[@payeeang7838]

Tf happen to hakeem.

[@borakoseoglu2520]

hakeem olajuwon vs arvdays sabonis

[@TW0man4RMY]

Sabonis was/is extremely underrated.

[@PIP...33]

@@TW0man4RMY SABAS IS TOP 3 PLAYER IN EUROPE WITH DRAZEN. BUT IN NBA HE JUST CAME TOO LATE. ONLY GALIS IS BETTER THAN THEM CAUSE NIKOS IS LIKE WILT CHAMBERLAIN IN NBA GOAT BEST PLAYER EVER.

@@PIP...33 Djordjevic should be GOAT shooter I know ppl say best shooter is Drazen but still all records were held by Sasha. He is most clutch player in history. Only Bird can be over him in clutch and shooting. Drazen is top 3 no doubt. But if u want guy to buzzer dagger u choose Sale.
