Shawn Marion, Kobe, young Rodman, and probably a few more.

Check out the spin move on the baseline and dunk on Ewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98-e--sWyto at minute 2:25

Great Barkley clips. Man, he was abusing Xavier McDaniels, who was himself very strong, athletic, talented and MEAN as hell. Charles was making him look silly.

Indeed and McDaniel was a very good defensive player. This was prime and healthy Chuck a total different player than the one in Houston. On that spin move you can see how quick footed he was .

Everyone knows he is just gonna try to blow by you with a straight line drive and _Ordan is forcing that bum (relative to nba players) to his weak hand

....Like taking candy from a baby(with the baby using his non dominant hand)

I expected better OP....

Yes, Barkley was an absolute beast in Philly and Phoenix. During his prime, he may very well have been the most talented (not necessarily the greatest) PF of all time.
