Prime Charles Barkley In Today's NBA

[SilkkTheShocker]

Where would he rank in the top 5 players?

[RoboticWang]

He'd probably fight for the second best position with Durant.

Beat me to it.

Prime Barkley was the destroyer of the worlds.. but we just have to consider that LeBron quite possibly could be in his prime as well. (Allhough we say this every year.) Prime LeBron>Prime Barkley.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Yea, I figure he would be 2A and 2B with Durant.

Not even quite the same on every possible aspect and level.
Barkley was a beast and did not camp on 3pt land.

Not prime Barkely so much, but later in his career he started shooting them.

Consistent top 3 player.

OKC would be a better team with prime Barkley. PG is the most overrated position in the NBA.

I'm not so sure...


Westbrook isn't like every other PG... The guy scores, passes, rebounds, plays defense, oh... and he gives 100% all game, every game.....


Not to mention off the court he is constantly being a leader telling the guys what to eat, visualization techniques, lucid dreaming, nootropics, stretching, cold showers... etc....


Westbrook is comparable to Jordan on the Bulls in terms of importance...



Barkley just comes up short IMHO.

I like Westbrook a lot. I think he is more important for OKC winning a title than Durant. But Barkley was just a more dominant player. Very dynamic player. The guy would get a rebound and run the court like a guard, and throw it down. Just nasty....

Oh god this guy...
