His greatest strength? His confidence & his floor awareness. He was very undersized for his position and I always felt that he was very aware of the his matchups, and knew how to take advantage of them to get to his spots on the floor.
3:47 That's Darryl Dawkins, a famous 76ers/nets center with crazy explosive, powerful dunks for someone who is 6'11 270+ lbs. He's the first recorded person to shatter a whole backboard(by a dunk, the first shattered backboard was during the 1950s when someone literally bricked a shot lol). He loves naming all his dunks and has a whole list of funny nicknames(Chocolate Thunder, Double D, Dawk, Dr. Dunk, Sir Slam, Zandokan the Mad Dunker, Dunk You Very Much). He played along with Dr.J, Caldwell Jones, Steve Mix(a guy that i wanted you to react to), and yes, Joe Bryant.
Barkley had a deep skill bag but his success came from his motor. He was one of those guys who finished plays all the way through, every time. This guy was an honest 6’ 4” and for my money he’s the #2 PF ever - he frustrated the heck out of Mailman, and he had the kind of head game where he could have taken Big Ticket to school, too.
Auburn is about 160 miles from Tuscaloosa (UA). They are Alabama's arch rivals on a massive scale. I think Barley's key attribute was his will backed up by his powerful core; dude was a cannonball juggernaut.
When I was in 5th grade, my dad took me and my brother to see the Kings play the Rockets in the 99-00 season. That was the last year of Charles Barkley's playing career, Hakeem Olajuwon's last year in Houston, and Steve Francis' rookie year. I remember sitting behind the basket that game, Chuck battled Chris Webber for an offensive rebound and got it and dunked with 2 hands off both feet. So to your question about his signature move, getting an offensive rebound and dunking off both feet without getting a running start
Charles Barkley would run circles around Zion. You can’t really compare the players. Charles Barkley is a top 50 HOF and one of the best rebounders we’ve ever seen especially for his size. He was also an outstanding post player and he was a coast to coast player. He also willed to teams to wins and was the leading scorer on the Dream Team. Had it not been for MJ in 93, he would won his first ring. Zion is freakishly athletic, can do amazing dunks and has point guard skills. Outside of the size similarities, their is no comparable between the two players.
Zion is definitely the comparison most people with common sense (not the idiots who said lebron. Lol) have for barkely. Zion isn’t as skilled but otherwise they have very similar games and builds.
A top 10? I hope this includes the time he missed his target and spat on a girl in the stands lol But really though, wasn't he the most efficient shooter of all time or something? Even with all of those 3 pointers missed (He couldn't shoot 3s but he loved taking them lol). "Shut up and Jam" "I am not a role model"

He was also the first rapper, he was dropping bars back in the 70's haha

The muscle between his ears is all the greats in any sports greatest strength

Chuck was one of kind.

🔥🔥🔥
The Zion comparison is pretty accurate. And the quote is from Space Jam
He is not in my top 20 but i like it! Great video bro 🔥❣️
That's 'Chocolate Thunder' Daryl Dawkins.
His biggest strength was his toughness and aggression.
Reacter is the word youre looking for
Lol appreciate it

Shane heal got under his skin big time lol
Ppl always exaggerating lol. He was really 6'4.5-6'5
Haha. You keep subtracting inches from his height.

💯💯💯
Work ethic on court. Much like Rodman he would outwork you. He could get where he wanted and score at will inside
Charles Barkley's greatest strength definitely wasn't will, it might have even been his weakest side. If only CB kept himself more in shape.
