Charles Barkley Turns 50

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Defence? Haven't watched enough of him but I don't think he was anywhere near the level of KG/Duncan?

[NumberSix]

Dwight has better stats, Westbrook and CP3 are a wash.

Maybe if you only pay attention to scoring and rebounds. All defensive metrics this season have Marc Gasol as the best defensive center in the league.

Decent help defender he was but he lacked the quickness to actually have to cover quicker guys and he was short for a player his height and couldn't guard the true PF.

That's why I said Barkley is like an anomaly. Very hard to judge him but by no means is he even considered a GOAT PF.

When I think of Barkley, I mostly think about the disappointments in his career. Never did anything memorable besides his MVP season but there were more heartaches. He is a choker.

Sprewell getting nasty on Barkley. I brought this up because it basically sums up his interior defense.

Hardaway on Barkley...lack of movement on defense

Let's not forget the Piston's sweep. He revived his career in Phoenix due to his 3pt shooting in which he developed.

a lot of cool info. Seems like Barkley lack of humbleness did him in.

Work ethic and his mentality did him in. His attitude on the court changed the game. There would be times when he got a technical or flagrant in crucial times of games that would determine the outcome.

As good as he was, he was nowhere near the best.

He played for 3 teams that were championship level teams and he couldn't win in all 3 occasions. These were different teams too. He had his chance.

Marc Gasol blks 1.7 stls 0.9

Dwight Howard blks 2.4 stls 1.1

He has better stats unless you are going into advanced stats.

[B]That Was Barkley 1st Year as Total Starter and The Sixers Had Lost Moses For The Play-Offs and Andrew Toney Suffered a Career Endking Injury, He Never Played the Same Again. Dr J Was 35 Years Old and Had Lost All Steps as a Player. Also, This Was The 80s and It Was an Era of Great Teams Unlike the 90s, 00s and 10s.

Barkley is going to be remembered for his commentating if he keeps this up. I am watching the NCAA tourney and him and Kenny are very good on national television.

I'm glad they left the TNT antics over at TNT. CBS will help them be more serious.

Barkley is hard to judge as a PF. He put up great stats for the future generations to read.

Those that have seen him play can say he failed the eye-test. Watching him play it seems like he puts up empty stats. Was never a good leader and wasn't very clutch.

The man played for 3 freaking teams, unheard of for anyone that is considered the best.

This is why I don't value Shaq much, he played for 6 teams. That's almost journeyman status.

I love Barkley, and although i don think he is the best power forward ever, he does have a case.

[Round Mound]

It's very unfortunate that you have to ignore me because you don't agree with my opinion. I wish life was that easy where you can put people on an ignore list because you don't agree with them.

Like I mentioned earlier, Barkley puts up empty stats and no matter what stats you have mentioned, those were series' that he lost.

You can bring up his series' average but it just proves my point of how his production never led to the success of his team.

Empty Stats? The Sixers Beat the Bullets in 1986 Dummy! They Lost to the Bucks the Next Series! and in that 1994 Series they Swept the Warriors While Barkley Averaged 37 PPG and Empty Stats Yea!

YOU ARE A TROLL AND NEVER WATCHED BARKLEY PLAY IN HIS PRIME! EVER!
