Charles Barkley was a relentless, reckless 263-pound rebounder in the paint. He was just a brutish, powerful, and nasty basketball player who was virtually unstoppable in the post. He was a beast
Rookie Barkley against the NBA’s best front line - Bird, McHale, Parish, Maxwell. Barkley was a force of nature. He makes no sense on paper - too short, too fat. For 10+ years, no one could match up against him.
@IndianaSmallmouth and Barkley could jump, too. He was explosive. He was like a runaway locomotive at full throttle on a fastbreak. No one dared to go for a charge against the 263-pound Barkley. He was just a raw, physical specimen and a freak of nature
This vintage Barkley when he was young and spry before his knees failed him. Later in his career he was playing below the rim and settling for a lot of jump shots.
Nah Boston was probably the ONLY team in that conference that was clearly better from 84-86, and there 3 best players (Bird, McHale, Parrish) were all smack dab in there primes.
@ Of course Boston was great But the Sixers had won 65 games and the championship They pick up Barkley in 84 On paper they should’ve won another title That was the point
Charles Barkley, Brad Daugherty, mentored by Moses Malone along with the two first round picks sent to Washington along with Malone for a broken Jeff Ruland would have kept Philly a viable contender into the 90s. Former GM Pat Williams had other plans for Philly which led to its slow decline.

Watching young Charles Barkley play basketball is like watching young Mike Tyson box - unbelievable strength, speed, power, explosiveness.

7'+ wingspan and 39" vertical, Charles has far more reach than most players. Height doesn't matter.

this is awesome! I was just watching the 85 playoff game on here and was linking his great plays!
Damn shame he caught moses and that Sixers team past their prime, man if he had a basic decent center at Phoenix he gets a few rings damn shame

Barkley was like "forget it, everytime I get a rebound, I'm just gonna start me a fast break!" 🤣
