Charles Barkley is *THE WORST* point shooter in the history of the NBA of players with enough attempts. Period
I love me some Robinson, helluva defender and always gave his all but dang man, you can't let barkley take all that time to think about life and give them last shot
From an Admiral fan... facts. :'( Tough though to put a center out on the perimeter guarding an MVP with SF quickness at his peak... I think Robinson could've gotten out there more though.
Watching this makes me miss all the old basketball arenas in the NBA. The Hemisfair, Seattle Coliseum, The Forum, Chicago Stadium, Boston Garden, Reunion Arena in Dallas, and McNichols Arena in Denver. They were unique.
This brings back memories. Not only did I see this game, but I had the McDonald's collectible cup featuring this magnificent moment of Barkley humbling the incredibly talented specimen that was David Robinson.
For anyone too young to remember about prime David Robinson from 92-96, this was pretty much how he went out of the playoffs every year. A beast in the regular season but couldn't get over the hump against other elite teams
Missed '92 playoffs with injury. Went out like this in '93. Lost Sean Elliot in '94 to trade for Rodman, was the entire team from a scoring perspective, got smoked by Jazz in Round 1. Got Elliot back in '95... had both Rodman and Elliot, Elliot's two missed free throws cost them game 1, and ended up losing in 6.... Hakeem shot the ball way more than Robinson (an insane 28 spg to 16 spg by Robinson), and played like he was hungrier (did the same in the finals against Shaq - 29 spg to Shaq's 18 spg). Hakeem was a better lone wolf than Robinson, Robinson continued to play team basketball. Not sure I can blame him for that, but it was a bad look when Hakeem was putting up crazy numbers. Lost Rodman in '96 and got smoked by an verge-of elite Jazz team... it was disappointing for sure. Injured in '97, but got an amazing gift in #1 pick Duncan. '98 they lost to truly elite Jazz again Duncan and Robinson were equals. '99 there was no stopping them, Duncan played more minutes and held it down while Robinson spent a little more time on the bench. Duncan better numbers, but per 36 minutes virtually identical (Duncan 20/11 Robinson 18/12). I almost wish Robinson would've demanded more PT/shots in '99 to have won a championship as an alpha dog, which I believe they would've... but that's not Robinson's true legacy... his true legacy is the Spurs legacy... as is Duncan's... giving up personal glory for the sake of the team. 5 rings in 16 years in little ol' San Antonio. It fits the city, and the players. Not gonna lie though, the lack of individual respect hurts.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Elliot redeeming himself with the super-clutch 3 in the '99 WCF to beat the Blazers in game 2 and push the Spurs to a sweep!
@@patrickcommerce9713 Well put. I'd only like to kind've qualify to say that while Hakeem was playing hungrier which is putting it perfectly, at the same time he was playing as good or better team ball as Robinson at the same time along with better defense. He was just a monster. I wish our twin towers of Hakeem and Sampson had've worked out but things rarely go according to plan or ideally. I regret that Houston never got to face the Bulls during Houston's three prime seasons '93-'95, they certainly had a good chance to beat MJ and the bulls and if they did I think people would respect Hakeem's legacy a lot more, and even Robert Horry and everyone else on that team.
Not a lot of people talk about Charles Barkley, juss because he never won a ring doesn't mean He's Not one of the greats . Look at Tmac Yao Ming ,Allen Iverson , Vince Cater ,Patrick Ewing ,Steve Nash 💯🏀🏀
@@thatstuff660 Yao Ming is the only player in NBA History to be an All Star every year of his career. His injuries really derailed his career. He could shoot well for someone so big.
Barkley invented the step back lol, ...well, him and Reggie Miller. I love those damn shoes. I liked the most how Barkley wouldnt mind kicking your ass if you get in his face talking sh*t. He was despised by the league before AI got drafted I love @ 4: 50 Chuck didn't challenge DRobinson on the break, but the play after 5:03 is why we love Chuck . he played hard, talked big sh*t and backed it up on both ends of the court
San Antonio Spurs last game in the old hemisfair arena after 20 years,especially in GM 6,the Spurs moved to the Alamodome until 2002 and moved to the AT&T Center for 2002-03 to present
8:15 David Robinson was getting COOKED by Sir Charles so bad he literally cheats and puts his arm through the rim to block any chance of a basket. NBA San Antonio Refs don't call goaltending.
Tim Duncan, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Kevin Garnett, Kevin McHale are the top five PFs in order. Malone had a hall-of-famer point guard feeding him the ball for 16 years while Barkley was forced to manufacture most of his offense almost on his own for most of his career.
Barkley is so underrated… most people don’t fully understand the game of basketball…he was like 6’4 or 6’5 and would get rebounds over the 7 footers all the time… he was also a smart player… and he could shoot pretty well too….and also a very clutch player who always played well in the 4th quarter👍🏼
Robinson was really destroyed by three guys in my opinion, Barkley, Olajuwon and Malone. An MVP and DPOY with the Admiral but not until the arrival of Duncan then Robinson got his ring.
You do realize Robinson was the only superstar in his team right? Barkley, Olajuwon & Malone had another star player to help win games. Robinson finally earned his when Duncan arrived. Let's get your narrative correct. Do you say the same thing about LeBron too? Or Michael Jordan too?
wweecwwcwtnanba1928 He was 6'4. And led the league in Rebounds multiple times. Just insane. Imagine what the Chuckster would do in today's league. He would eat every PF alive.
When it comes to best PF of all time u see ppl say Duncan, Malone, Nowitzki, Garnett and no one mention Barkley. This dude was beast and in my opinion way better then Malone. So list is 1.Duncan 2.Barkley .....
One must remember that the West was stacked in this period. Seattle, Portland, San Antonio, Utah and Houston were all legit. And Barkley and his Suns came out on the top.
SA just couldn't get consistent production out of anyone other than Robinson in that series. Carr played well until his injury and honestly SA missed his production. Phoenix probably still wins that series but it definitely goes 7 if Carr never gets injured.
We went from being a 5'10" guard in high school, to a just under 6'5" center in college, this is where I think he got his versatility from. He had some handles, could face the basket, lead the break, but could post up on anyone.
I watched several games with Barkley vs Jordan. It was usually an even match-up. Jordan might get a few more points, Barkley would have a lot more boards, and would be a better team player, with inferior teammates. There was a video game at the time called Barkley vs Jordan. It was an even match-up. That's how he was rated at the time. Now, for some reason, he is severely underrated. imho maybe better than dirk, kg and duncan. Top 10 all time, and possibly goat PF (unless you wanna call Hakeem a PF)
Love hearing Charles Barkley saying I’m glad I closed down that old dump. Meaning Hemisfair Arena knowing this was last game ever played in thier for Spurs!!
Barkley was just unstoppable in his peak , one of my favorites ever
Barkley’s versatility is what made him stand out amongst power forwards the man was suited for today’s NBA and I’m just now realizing that
What took so long? lol jk Barkley's game would translate in any era present or future
It would be a crime to put him in this era where he'd be jacking up 10 3's a game. Barkley was meant to be a beast that attacked the lane on fastbreaks and pounded the ball in the post.
There is zero variety in today's offense. The mid-range game is gone, the post game is gone and the excitement of watching people drive to the hoop is watered down because they don't have to overcome the physicality that they used to. It's not a good product.

wweecwwcwtnanba1928 He was 6'4. And led the league in Rebounds multiple times. Just insane. Imagine what the Chuckster would do in today's league. He would eat every PF alive.
Dennis Rodman is listed at 6'7 but MJ said Dennis was 6'6 1/2
Yes but Rodman edge him a bit
When it comes to best PF of all time u see ppl say Duncan, Malone, Nowitzki, Garnett and no one mention Barkley. This dude was beast and in my opinion way better then Malone. So list is
1.Duncan
2.Barkley
.....
My man Charles is cold blooded making that shot over Robinson at the top of the key to win the game!
Imagine david Robinson in todays game
As much as I respected Barkley, I would have really LOVED to see Jordan vs. Robinson finals...
That 1992-1993 Phoenix Suns team is probably one of the best teams not to win a championship
One must remember that the West was stacked in this period. Seattle, Portland, San Antonio, Utah and Houston were all legit. And Barkley and his Suns came out on the top.
Excellent win by Barkley and the suns.
Barkley Will Eat Up Bumbass Draymond!! He Was A Beast All Around!!
SA just couldn't get consistent production out of anyone other than Robinson in that series. Carr played well until his injury and honestly SA missed his production. Phoenix probably still wins that series but it definitely goes 7 if Carr never gets injured.
Barkley was a great two way player and quick for post play.
That suns team was dope, johnson, majerle, barkley and chambers
We went from being a 5'10" guard in high school, to a just under 6'5" center in college, this is where I think he got his versatility from. He had some handles, could face the basket, lead the break, but could post up on anyone.
How strong was Charles Barkley in the paint?
I watched several games with Barkley vs Jordan. It was usually an even match-up. Jordan might get a few more points, Barkley would have a lot more boards, and would be a better team player, with inferior teammates. There was a video game at the time called Barkley vs Jordan. It was an even match-up. That's how he was rated at the time. Now, for some reason, he is severely underrated.
imho maybe better than dirk, kg and duncan. Top 10 all time, and possibly goat PF (unless you wanna call Hakeem a PF)
his basket ball IQ is underrated.

Love hearing Charles Barkley saying I’m glad I closed down that old dump. Meaning Hemisfair Arena knowing this was last game ever played in thier for Spurs!!
Big men before just creates their own shots or move without the ball, but now, shoots 3 or pick & roll.
Final game at Hemisfair Arena
Hey Chuck, what was that you said about the people of San Antonio, Texas??😂😂😂
They got some big ol' women down in San Antone.
@@hartsickdisciple 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 And there's a reason they can't fit into those Victoria's Secret drawers because Victoria is definitely a secret!!😂😂😂🤣🤣
Charles with a crazy james harden side step back. Classic.
Robinson was so good! SA was the joke of the league before The Admiral
Briefly. They were a good team during the first half of the 80s, with Gervin and Gilmore.
Barkley has such a good mid range game
Chuck. Best PF in prime IMO, and he’s what 6’5”? Haha! He doesn’t need a HOF Pg ala stockton or parker to get his own. 💪🏻
Barkley is one of the few big men from back then that could play in today's NBA and probably still be a HOFer
