Charles Oakley was a puppet for barkley in this game, im not tired of seeing the toughness of his game, the elbows the fight. The jump, the athleticism, awesome
Draymond Green once scoffed at the comparison between him and Barkley. He should've taken it as a huge compliment because in reality he can only DREAM of being as great a player as Charles
Talk About Efficiency! (unlike today where a player shoots 30 FGAs for 40% FG) The Man Lead The League in 2-Point FG % 5 Years. That is Rivaled Only By Shaq, Gilmore, Wilt and Kareem! And Guess What?They Where All 9 Inches Taller Than Him! Greatest Powerforward Ever!
Description isn't really accurate. Barkley missed a layup (which he then immediately tipped in) early on, not a late 3 pointer. Still, another stellar performance from maybe the best offensive power forward in NBA history.
this guy was supposed to be only 6'4, yet he schooled guys like oakley who was 6'9 and muscular and recognized widely as a tough defender down the block. this tells us a few facts. 1) barkley's post game is definitely one of the best ever in his position 2) appearance doesn't equal to strength and skill( barkley doesn't appear to have lebron's muscle and KG's height, still was almost unguardable in the post) 3) solid post game is an lost art in the nba nowadays, even the peak tim duncan wasn't that effective as the prime barkley.
Yes, he was amazing, no doubt about it. However, no one will ever convince me he's only 6'4. I saw him standing next to someone (can't remember who now) who was supposed to be 6'8 or so, and Barkley was just as tall if not a little taller. . .I'd have to see him measured in person to believe he is/was 6'4.
Chris Kavanagh i actually agree with you. there are too many rumors about these players' heights. i remember reading some source saying he is actually 6'4. but looking at this image ---- i.cdn.turner.com/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/1108/chris.mullin.rare.photos/images/chris-mullin.21.jpg i say he is as tall as mullin without any platform shoes. mullin is 6'6 listed and pip is 6'7, so he is clearly shorter than 6'7 if pip's measurement is true but he does seem to be taller than 6'4
+popeyeisgood as someone who played against Charles I can tell without question Charles was 76 inches tall, but he had very long arms, with explosive leaping ability, he was a very rare talent, plus people were afraid of Charles, and he was relentless
Barkley is 6'4 3/4 barefoot, 6'6" in shoes. He's about the exact same height as Jordan. Oakley is probably more like 6'7" 1/2 or 6'8" barefoot. All of these NBA players go by their in shoes height.
Skip Bayless says Draymond Green is a better player than Charles Barkley. Outrageous. He lost all credibility as a sports commentator by saying something that ridiculous and absurd.
Barkley should have got a ring to two, but he just didn't have the dedication guys like Jordan, Bird, Magic etc had. . .There was an article in S.I. a few yrs back, telling of Barkley sitting at a bar drinking the night before a Championship game. The article makes you think he's there to watch it on Tv, but as it turns out it was the night before HIS Championship game in '94 against Chicago. In other words instead of resting for the biggest game of his career, he was out partying. That sums op Barkley.
Chris Kavanagh He still performed at an extremely high level in that series. He scored like 30 a game. Rodman did the same thins and shut down Malone. Bull's were just a little btter.
That's crap about his dedication. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY played this game harder than Charles Barkley. A six foot five inch overweight power forward doesn't get that good by accident.

Chuckster was Unstoppable. He only missed one shot the ENTIRE game!!

It is to me brother to, the most talented powerforward we ever seen
Like AI?
barkley always gave oakley that work
Barkley made it a point to make Oakley's life a living hell on the court. That's why Oak hates him to this day.

you really need to take Jordan out of the comparison, who is often recognised gambling before the night
