@@oldermusiclover In retrospect, if a player in today's game, 2024, gets his thigh muscle torn, he's done for the season, Willis Reed still played through it embodying the desire to be great. Now for players, an injury would make them happy because they got an excuse to party around with their boys. Nobody plays through a minor injury anymore since these kids are spoiled af. They're like, oh I feel sick let me get some load management, but you'll see them celebrating on the bench, like dude you got an ankle injury but you can jump and celebrate?

When you hear what goes on in an athletes mind and heart, especially then, when I felt the athletes loved the competition with their peers more than the building of super teams.

[@michaelnorris6168]

To me Kevin McHale is the absolute best power forward ever. He could not be stopped in the block. He had to down shift his game for Larry Bird and Robert Parish. A man of a 1000 moves. If he wasn’t hurt, he should have been a top ten player if all time in my opinion. I know he didn’t have the numbers, but he could not be stopped. And if the medical technology is now, and the way they travel now, and the way the game is so soft now he would dominate.

I think they've all had that feeling. Isaiah lost a game 7 finals in '88 (and after that terrible call in game 6) so he knows. Shaq for swept in a finals and lost to my favorite team ever the 2004 Pistons in a "5 game sweep" so he knows it. Dennis Scott lost in the finals with Shaq and McHale lost in the finals. So I think they all feel it and empathize with Chuck because he never won one.

Everyone references MJ, Scottie, Phil and the Triangle Offense but at times, the offense would get cold or guys would give Jordan the ball, stand around and watch which obviously isn't good for an offense predicated on ball movement and spacing. The real Bulls, and any true basketball head that saw the dynasty in real time knows that team always fell back and relied on its defense which at times was so suffocating, that teams had a rough time just getting the ball over half court. It was called the "Doberman Defense" and when the Bulls turned it on, good luck.

The perspective by Chuck about how much more often you lose than you actually win was an eye opener. It's easy to forget how often the greats lost before they finally won. EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM can attest to that. So it's gotta hurt incredibly deeper when you get so close but don't win AT ALL.

Magic Johnson dominated most of the decade.

[@nattyps3160]

Magic won as a rookie. Bird won in 81 so his 2nd or 3rd year. People forget mj it took awhile to win b/c the east was so tough. Celtics pistons & 76ers in the 80s. The Knicks sadly Ewing & mj were the same age so they had such a great rivalry but mj of course was better & Ewing really never had much help esp in his younger years. The best he had were 2 cba guys in starks & Mason so those were guys the Knicks didn't draft or trade for. They were Cinderella stories. I honestly believe pat Riley screwed up badly when the Knicks team of 92 took the bulls to 7 Jordan said that was the one time he called his dad nervous. That Knicks team should have stayed together. How do u get rid of a young mark jackson a ny native & the team leader & the x man who if u watch in 92 was killing the bulls. Riley I get felt he needed to add something to beat the bulls but I think being it was only his first year w/ that group keep em together for the next year & see if the chemistry gets even better. Instead he fell for Charles Smith & sadly that was a bust. So he let x man walk as a free agent & traded 25 year old mark Jackson for Smith & a past his prime doc rivers. Worst mistake. Plus I liked starks coming off the bench b/c he was so streaky it was maddening. He was brilliant or horrendous from game to game half to half at times. Gerald Wilkins wasn't his brother but having starks as ur only 2 guard really showed in the finals. Brilliant in game 6 single handedly almost winning the title than game 7 , 2 for 18. I was shocked Riley didn't tell him to stop shooting. Like the rockets actually were laying off him in the 4th & all just waiting for the rebound.

As a *HUGE* fan of the Barkley Era Sun's it really makes me feel better knowing that Finals loss was his worst moment.. Not the girl spitting thing... That loss haunts me so much because Charles health really declined after that and they never got back. Plus he was known to be Loof and not work hard.. He is the only one up there (of the 90s all stars) not to play in his prime with another Hall of Famer (Horry is going and Drex is there already) so then that winning a title is understandable but it still bugs the hell out of me. The sons were absolutely dismal on defense preferring to just simply outscored their opponents instead of actually Manning up but they had a fun style of play and that other gear they had that they could just turn up was absolutely amazing. I don't know it's weird but it really makes me feel good that it's still bugs Barclays to this day. Absolutely excellent excellent show this is.

[@debbiedean3165]

I loved every minute of this. I used to watch this awesome basketball back in the day with my now middle aged son. I let him stay up late 🥰. Great basketball, wonderful memories.

[@judemarcos2496]

Damn that part of Kevin McHale telling he is playing with a fractured ankle for 2 months shows how tough they are in that era and he even played through it knowing he has that injury.

[@MrSmitty1074]

He had the best low post moves.

[@queenkay82]

I love this, this was awesome. I really like Isaiah's and Barkley's moments the most.

[@philliphopkins6268]

How can you dislike this video, this is so much fun.

[@heavyrollers7stsp113]

😂😂😂😂😭 keven Mchale ain’t know Mahorn used to blow his nose in that towel you can tell😂😂😂

[@ishanhall8233]

LOL Facts

[@spy1965]

McHale thought his story about busting Mahorn was so funny. THat shut up McHale really quickly....lol

[@SeanPowell-p4v]

@@spy1965If that’s the first time he found out about that, how would you take that story? It’s funny and kind of gross! Kevin McHale was a lot better player than Rick Mahorn. The late 80’s Pistons we’re playing some great basketball and they’ve got the Championships to prove that fact. I’ll give them all the credit as a Celtics fan, but I still don’t like Laimbeer. He could rebound and shoot, but he was a bit dirty.

[@omieg89]

Barkley was obviously a great player as the number one option but imagine if he had gotten to be the second option playing next to Magic, Bird, Shaq, or MJ. The guy would have about 5 rings. He tried doing it later in his career with Olajuwon but they didn’t get it done. Such a shame. Would have loved to seen him get at least one ring.

[@loudelbove6728]

Amazing story tellers. There should be more of this.

[@MikeJones-fv1fe]

Isiah won us a championship at IU in 81...when he hurt his ankle against the Lakers and THEN went off in the 4th...I was amazed! That part where he was talking about ripping his opponents heart? That's pure Isiah Thomas!

[@JunkYardCardGuy]

More insight from Chuck thsn i thought possible...this is a killer series

[@Guillermosanchezing]

Absolute legend

[@MoeJaxon]

I can binge watch on these for days!

[@creydadj]

18:46 everyone started bursting when Keith Closs name came up........... LMAO

[@WiseChristian60]

This was awesome and classic love all these guys including Ernie Johnson!

[@gd6576]

This is gold.

[@madmike4114]

"You lose more than you win ! ...... Shaq played 20 years and he was blessed to win a championship 4 times, so 16 times ! You're down and depressed and it sucks ! ...." - Charles Barkley Most Realest quote from the Round Mound of Rebound !!!!! ... #DroppingGems

[@Juan-ep6dm]

Feel so sad rewatching these great opencourt shows of legends with kobe still playing his last seasons at that time

[@richardeicholtz4868]

As much as I love Inside the NBA this is honestly my favorite show. I could listen to these stories all day. Also you can't write a better story than the one Isaiah told.

[@diegorabot5253]

YES FINALLY! SOMEONE UPLOADED IT! MORE PLEASE!

[@donkc5]

Great to start with Isaiah, learned something worth today 😊

[@buzzard6410]

Gotta love Shaq's plug at the end for Icy-Hot...

[@xzyle1000]

I could watch all these sports legends tell they stories even if they didn't play o man we would be amazed

[@m-u-hub]

when chuck was telling how they lost to the bulls you can see shaq and zeke remembering the times that they lost too

[@stevelawton9849]

This has to be one of the best episodes ever!!!!!! Just wish the round mound of rebound stayed in Philly for his whole career!! Love me some Chuck!!

[@alexandresantos8049]

Jordan and The Bulls were really a special once in a lifetime dynasty during the 90s!

[@LightskinBanditGaming]

i love this type of format. i wish they could bring it back one more time

[@TSgitaar]

Bulls defense was incredible. Charles still not over this. When you got Pippen and Grant double team you, while Jordan is waiting to step in at any time... Its just too tough...

[@bigkerv2563]

We need more of these with these guys

[@drummer8491]

LOL Charles "Shazam..." hilarious

[@Afr0Thund3r]

Honestly, good shit for Chuck, getting up there and being that honest. Replaying that time you nearly won the championship, you just had to get through the double team.................... OF SCOTTIE PIPPEN AND HORACE GRANT!
