The Story Behind Charles Barkley

An undersized beast of a power forward whose skill set was almost ahead of its time, and whose toughness and tenacity rivalled that of any player who ever took the court. From Alabama to the Hall of Fame. From the hardwood to the broadcast booth, this is the story behind Charles Barkley.

You could argue he has gotten more popular after he stopped playing, not many players reach that status. Chuck is a legend

[@Brandon-hn5xy]

PO-LEES PRESENCE!

[@shortie9103]

It was impossible for Shaq

[@DensDaPens]

Nah man!! He was definitely more popular, hell, more notorious when he was playing!

[@BlackOrder007]

A HACK IS A FOUL I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANGOLA BUT ANGOLA IS IN TROUBLE

[@youngbae5187]

If Chuck and MJ played in social media era, Chuck would get mega popular off his interviews and MJ would get 200k likes off his crazy plays in game. These Bron homers hyping him up off Twitter likes don't even know.

[@Hazadin420]

Charles is a Worldwide treasure!

[@amirianozakwano]

Can’t believe some fans believe Draymond Green is at the same level as Charles Barkley. During his prime, he was easily a top 5 player in the league.

[@youngbae5187]

Chuck is more like Blake Griffin or Zion. Even better actually, he's a MVP. It's like comparing Draymond to Zion, people would laugh at him.

[@kristianpomida8259]

In his prime, top 3 easily.

[@jaos9522]

Hes def top 3 in the 90s Mj Dream Chuck

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Anybody who actually believes that is an idiot. The only major stats that Draymond exceeds Barkley in are assists per game and blocks. And that’s still fairly close with Charles at 3.9 and Dray at 5.4 on assists and Chuck at .8 blocks and Dray at 1. Otherwise nothing is really even close. Chuck averaged 4 more rebounds a game and averaged close to triple the scoring. Chuck was a #1 on his team for a chunk of years and like others say one of the top five in the league during his day. Dray is like #5 on his own team. And everybody saw what the warriors were when the only star available was Dray. I don’t want to hate on Dray but his legacy and successes are largely because he went to the right team for him. He wouldn’t be a guy to go to a new team and change their outlook from a loser to a winner. The only thing they are common about is being brash and loud

[@atticus._]

These videos are underrated really in depth and when they delve into legends like Barkley it can’t not be entertaining

[@stargems]

😭😭😭 charles in beast mode was tenacious and mesmerizing. and the fact that he always had that honest quick wit and larger than life personality. respect and adore him so much. he's must see tv on or off the court

[@kntfhvn]

Though I remember him as the funny guy on TNT. my dad always told me about how much of a beast charles barkley was. Ring or no ring dude's an absolute legend in the game.

[@bobross8118]

this channel is so underrated

[@brokenteeth22]

I just love this channel. The video quality and overall production is consistently top notch.

[@MannyMensah94]

Sir Charles🏀🏀🏀💪🏿

[@ted_shelton]

He actually looks 6’6. Standing next to MJ they were the same height.

[@jongthedasher]

What a bold and perfect commercial by Nike!

[@chadeagleplume153]

The nba was definitely tougher back then haha they didn’t hesitate to throw hands 🙌 now they all take turns holding each other back it’s like baseball now

[@BGRUBBIN]

Forever the People's Champ! Don't forget his gold medal on the Dream Team!

[@markanthony8249]

The quality of your videos are crazy good this should have an ez 100k views man.

[@jpmnky]

The 1992-93 Phoenix Suns may be my favorite team of all time.

[@joshbautista3097]

Chuck is what you'll get if Zion decided to play like Giannis.

[@dyrldouglas2087]

Very good docu format. good editing.

[@GUTZ420]

my favorite personality in nba history

[@paulyiustravelogue]

Chuck’s NIKE ad with Godzilla is a classic

[@nerd3732]

everyone should watch this..especially the young ones... y'all forget how great chuck is..m

[@peejaythegreat1704]

I thought he was 6’6 until my 6’6 friend took a picture with him

[@aashishzac1670]

Anything with Charles Barkley in it I'm watching it!

[@rangerheir5821]

Barkley, Jordan, Kobe are all only 6'5 or just under at most. This 6'6 talk has to stop guys. Yes it is an inch, but that's literally usually the difference between an SG and SF in many cases. The only reason those exaggerate heights are listed is because back in the day people wanted to be listed taller than they were so they could intimidate people or make them play differently in person.

[@zepherscotty]

that commercial is the most 90's thing I've seen today & also incredibly poignant.

[@hulioortiz6988]

When I see Chuck I click, its not complicated 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@zxcytdfxy256]

THE GOAT

[@brightBoss]

Although Charles Barkley never won a ring, Uncle Carlos the people's Champ ✊🏾

[@RaulMartinez-gd3pw]

Man I wish he had beaten Jordan. Love Mike but Chuck deserved it

[@nbapbaupdate8338]

Michael Jordan waiving 😂😂😂

[@bb.cute.channel]

Please do Larry Bird!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@CCUnderhill1007]

I get really tired of the idea that Barkley was a "poor defender". Was he a great on defense? No, not in the conventional sense, but his defensive rebounds, steals and block numbers are no joke for a 6'4 power forward.

[@redbirdsaraceno]

he is 6’6” just look at video and pics of him next to Jordan , both 6’6’. still great vid though !

[@powerboatguy2308]

Jordan and Barkley were measured at the Olympics, they were both 6'5", Magic was 6'7". the NBA always adds an inch or 2.

[@redbirdsaraceno]

@@powerboatguy2308 im just gonna start telling people im 5’ 14”

[@adisucipto5386]

he may not a champ, but he's definitely more A MAN than Towns

[@unsignedrappersunsignedrap9679]

Carmelo Anthony next

[@JoeCash89]

👀

[@poker3276]

He'd be more dominant in today's game.

[@bandito241]

Barkley with vaccine comment is all about rich being above the poor when it comes to well anything. I would say duck that guy but the thing is, that this is a real thing. People just don’t talk about it and for some reason he does talk about it and doesn’t care for the consequences. Other examples are the San Antonio women (we all said that, I know I did even before I knew this show existed. I was I was stationed in Lackland😂), the thing about committing crimes (his own and other people) and his social commentary in general as there are many examples that I can think of right now.

[@vonblizzy]

He wasn’t better than kevin durant! the end.

he was

dude in his prime he was like an equal to jordan the literal goat and u think he wasn't better than kevin durant. foh
