Barkley has a long history of refusing to be in NBA games. But he has an interesting history in videogames. Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is a pretty popular cult-game RPG
Disliked it because title doesn't describe what really happened... I'd take Rodman toughness over Barkley's loud mouth... but good for him, it got him on tv
After Warriors got Webber in draft trade, Red Auerbach picked them to win title... but then Sarunas Marciulonis killed his ankle during the off-season... Tim Hardaway was an NBA all-star, unstoppable according to Sir Charles, but blew out his acl at first training scrimmage with Webber. (Later ended up 1st Team All NBA playing on one knee in Miami...) Warriors grabbed Avery Johnson to fill in. Sprewell was late 1st rd pick who had to step up in year two then. He was more focused on D in rookie year. I saw the whole thing.
That was no flop.....Charles was looking the other way and didn't see Sprewell lower his shoulder. Otherwise, Barkley would've had a nice stiff elbow waiting for Sprewell's head. He simply lost his footing. Plus he didn't roll all over the floor like he was shot like LeBron does. He immediately got up and went for Sprewell. Will Harris
Players were better because most NBA players had played 3-4 years of college ball. They had 'developed'. Guys today are skilled and athletic, but most are straight from High School to the league or one and done. Good example...my favorite player. Jaylen Brown. He came out after his freshman year at Cal. This is his fifth year in the league and you can see he's finally playing the way you'd expect him to. But it took him all of four years in the league. I remember think the man could BARELY dribble his first 2-3 years. Now he's got handles. A nice shooting touch. Good defender. It takes guys 4-5 years today, unless you're special.
I don’t know about this claim. There are 3-to-4-year college guys that didn’t work well in the NBA for long. Examples: Acie Law IV, Shelden Williams, Adam Morrison, Joe Alexander, Tyshawn Taylor, Chase Budinger... I believe that some guys are just ready for the moment sooner, and some situations are better than others.
@The Esquire of Sports ® - I don’t remember this conversation, but you must remember that coming out of high school was taboo at that time too. Plus, much of the game’s exposure was primarily through college too. Keep in mind that there are a lot of *good-to-legendary NBA players to play straight out of high school* : Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Dwight Howard, Jermaine O’Neal, Amar’e Stoudamire, Monta Ellis, Tyson Chandler, Josh Smith, and so on. Then, you can find some *one-and-done college players* : Kevin Durant, Zach Randolph, John Wall, Ben Simmons, Stephon Marbury, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Devin Booker, and so on.
Over rated! Charles Barkley is over rated as a player. He has no championship rings and no significant NBA records. He has a big mouth and that's about it!
When the league and the players wasn't soft as cotton candy like today's NBA look at that start of the video with Webber driving hard layup with alot of contact but no foul, and the head to head trashtalking to Mark West without technical lol...
Nah, the league is smart to call fouls like the West play for 2 reasons: undercutting someone midair like that has led to too many knee/ankle injuries (Laimbeer, Malone, & Bruce Bowen all had good careers for different reasons but hurt too many players w/ garbage like that), & if uncalled can lead to brawls that hurt the NBA's rep. I loved the NBA in 1994, but it was being slammed nationally for all the playoff fighting that year. It's easy to look back & call it "tough," but fights like Jojo English vs Derek Harper were stupid & dangerous to fans. The other factor here is Barkley's reaction to Sprewell's foul. He gets hit in the chest/gut but throws his head back. That's a flop; it happened plenty then too, you just see it re-branded as tough gamesmanship instead of "soft" when it happens today.
WARRIORS have had and lost so MANY STR8 Ballers. Look at the line-up! Latrell sprewell,Billy Owens,Chris Mullin,,Chris Webber not to mention the had Tim Hardaway who was out the whole season...
