GREETINGS!!!

[D-Rose]

Both combined: 0 titles.

[unbreakable]

Wow so maybe Barkley is in fact the 2nd best PF of all time..

either way, Tim Duncan is the greatest PF in the history of modernized sports.

[Sir Charles]

Wow so maybe Barkley is in fact the 2nd best PF of all time..

either way, Tim Duncan is the greatest PF in the history of modernized sports.

Barkley > Tim Duncan

Malone in a Fast Game > Tim Duncan

Barkley and Malone schooled Tim Duncan as aged Men...

*Titles Don`t Have to Do With Domination and Superiority but with Teams and Yes Malone and Barkley played in a Way Tougher Era than Today

[unbreakable]

LOL...

Monta Ellis in a fast game > Michael Jordan

Tim Duncan in a championship game >>>>>>> Everyone not named Bill Russell .

[Sir Charles]

[COLOR="Blue"]If Barkley owned Duncan at ages 34-36 (Duncan 21-23) as a back and knee crippled aged overweight man[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Navy"]And Malone held is how against Tim Duncan at grandpa ages of 34-40 (Duncan ages 21-27)[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Makes Me Wonder What they Could Have Done to Duncan under REAL MEN PHYSICAL RULES of the 80s and 90s[/COLOR]

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...1&p2=duncati01

Don`t Underrate Malone ..Duncan was Better SLIGHTLY and Only as a Center-Forward that never had to do more on his own than Malone or ofcourse Barkley...


[COLOR="Blue"]BEST PF EVER = BARKLEY[/COLOR]

2ND = DUNCAN or Maybe Malone

[COLOR="navy"]In a Fast Paced Game Id Pick Malone Without Hesitation[/COLOR]

[unbreakable]

Duncan had more defense and clutchness in his right nut then Barkley and Malone had in their entire bodies.

[rzp]

23 - 32 : Malone = Barkley

BUUUUUUUT

32 - 40 : Malone >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Barkley

[Sir Charles]

23 - 32 : Malone = Barkley

BUUUUUUUT

32 - 40 : Malone >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Barkley

[COLOR="Blue"]22-32 Barkley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Malone-Stockton [/COLOR]Clearly

33-36 Barkley < Malone-Stockton....

[COLOR="Red"]Yes...After he was 288 lbs could could harly jump, had no back and knee then only then was he better...(even Walton mentioned this)[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Blue"]Barkley owned Duncan as a crippled 288 lbs 34-36 year old man [/COLOR]and [COLOR="Navy"]Malone held his own as an aged 34-40 year old grandpa against Duncan[/COLOR].

[COLOR="Blue"]Barkley Better than Malone in everything except FT Shooting, Pick and Rolls, Easy Breaks...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]Duncan[/COLOR] better than [COLOR="Blue"]Barkley[/COLOR] and [COLOR="Navy"]Malone [/COLOR]as a [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]Shot Blocking [/COLOR]Presence and [COLOR="DarkRed"]NOTHING ELSE...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="darkred"]Clutchness? Barkley could actually Design His Shooting Off the Dribble Fron Anywhere on the Court and has made last second shots with the clock at 0.5 seconds[/COLOR]

Duncan is a CF...Barkley and Malone where Real PFs they Faced the Basket

[noob cake]

Sir Charles uses 90% of his time changing font and color; 10% of the time writing nonsense arguing for Charles Barkely's greatness.

[branslowski]

You play to win. A Great Player leads his team to Titles. Period.

Duncan>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Barkley.....Ev en Barkley himself say's this...We can make numbers say anything....Duncan's Defense is by Far Greater than Barkley's....Your the only egg head homer who thinks otherwise..Idiot.

[Bigsmoke]

do you get tired talking about Barkley all the time Sir Charles


Tim Duncan is the greatest PF ever

[Sir Charles]

There are only 2 Players in NBA History that are in THE TOP 10 All Time List of:

[COLOR="Red"]PER[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Blue"]Statistical +/-[/COLOR]
[COLOR="DarkRed"]EFF[/COLOR]

Who are they?

[COLOR="Red"]Michael Jordan[/COLOR] coinsidered [COLOR="red"]THEE GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME By Most[/COLOR] (with Wilt and Kareem for many if you Count Wilts Peek and Kareem`s Peek for Lesser Years) and [COLOR="Blue"]THEE MOST UNDERRATED GREAT PLAYER OF ALL TIME, Charles Barkley by Miles[/COLOR]

*In Their Primes Ofcourse Wilt and Kareem.

Is It also a Coinicidence That the Real Top 20 Greatest Players of All Time Are Right in There Too?...

I Think Not...A Coincidence Can`t Be Too Often....

Stop Underrating Sir Charles....

[Bigsmoke]

yo Sir Charles.

sometimes, I think you're joking with these Barkley threads homie. THATS ALL you do. and most of them arent very different from each other. get off Barkley's jock man. I'm a fan but **** dude

[branslowski]

Barkley is Great...But Your OVERRATING him...Everyone who is sane know's Duncan is Better than Barkley...You think just because you Cherry Pick Stats that can be stored anyway you want them, will change the FACT that Duncan>>>Barkley?? No....

You need to get off the Hollinger Crack Pipe and wake the hell up man...

Just to justify your Hero, you put together any stats you can find to benefit him, and then Totally Disrespect Guy's who have won...Your Basically saying winning isn't important...And im willing to bet that if Barkley had 4 rings with 4 Finals MVP's, you wouldn't be disregarding the Importance Of Winners.
