Charles Barkley never won an NBA championship. Here's what left him empty-handed.

- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2019
- Why didn't Charles Barkley win an NBA championship? The simple answers -- "MJ" and "Hakeem" -- don't do justice to the depth of a career spent falling short of the ultimate goal. To really understand why, we need to dig into the teams: the excellent but fading 76ers that drafted Barkley, the brilliant '90s Suns, and the old late-'90s Rockets. Then we need to dig further into what happened to them -- the injuries, the blown leads, the makes and misses that comprised playoff defeat.
Barkley's individual greatness is well understood, but his teams' playoff failure too often gets simplified, almost into a meme. Episode 1 of UNTITLED will show you how close his teams came, and the specific events that led to their falling short.

Added a correction! 1993 was indeed Phoenix's *second* trip to the NBA Finals, not their first.
I was gonna say, y'all even did a Weird Rules episode about their first Finals appearance. :P
Suggestion on another episode: almost every national team in the World Cup.
In the realm of "sports entertainment", Cultaholic did a list of wrestlers who never won a title in WWE. Some, like Vader, won titles in other promotions, but still, those stories could also use a deeper dive.
Please do Texas Rangers vs Toronto Bluejays 7th inning best inning in history
@@alfredrodrigo9665 oh for Pete's sake, the only reason that inning is remembered is Andrews' three consecutive errors. There's nothing else special about it.
@@wanderlustwarrior Doing one on wrestling titles would be quite dumb
not to mention that time a bunch of aliens stole his talent
That's Wright at the Space Jam game
Best cartoon movie ever...the soundtracks were great too.
Sam Fisher rewatch it and tell me if it’s still good
Right how could they just skip over this ?
Ellafunt CMON AND JAM
Poor dude couldn't even beat Jordan when he played for the Toon Squad
😂🤦🏾♂️
Well to Chucks defense he did lose his basketball abilities to The Monstars
Yes, but the Monstars (who had his abilities) still couldn't beat Jordan. And that team was stacked
RedHeadRedemption yeah that’s true but Jordan had a sick dynamic duo with Bugs at point and Lola was a beast on both sides of the floor
You guys are funny with also a feeling of nostalgia.
"Thankfully, we have so many other ways to measure greatness."
Shaq says no.
Lol yeah, maybe. But Shaq is just fortunate that all the great centers of the 90's were past their prime when he hit his own stride by 2000. He needs to remember that..but he won't and will never admit that. Plus the center position was on it's last leg by the time he was in his prime..hey that rhymed (so did that, lol). Anyway, Shaq couldn't really dominate all the other greats..with offensive game too (Ewing, Olajuwon, Robinson, Mourning, etc.). Then by 2007, he was being called for an offensive foul that he got in his favor earlier in his career for trying to punish the defensive player. However, the NBA was changing it's flow already at that time.
@@crazykayz3 finally!!!! been waiting for someone 1 say this. underrated comment.
@@crazykayz3
Shaq dominated bums.
@@crazykayz3 Shaq is on record repeatedly saying that he thinks Dream is better than he was. Shaq was an unstoppable wrecking ball and was easily better than peak Ewing, Robinson, or Zo (Though not by that much, and all three of those guys are all-time greats).
@@crazykayz3 Bull crap. Why wasn't those centers winning championships before Shaq got drafted
Just watched Steve Nash. Ya then suggested: hey depressed suns fan. Here’s a Barkley clip as well for ya.
That's brutal 😂
And don’t forget how we were screwed out of a title in 2007.
He won 2 rings as warriors consuly
That's just cruel and I'm a Sonics fan 😂
Lol same, hopefully one day the suns will be back
In honor of the Dolphins tanking, the next episode should be about Dan Marino.
Very good 👍
Came to comment this!
Reasons:
Montana
Bills
No help
Factz
I'm glad someone said this. Barry Sanders and LaDainian Tomlinson also do as two of the greatest running backs of all time, neither of whom even got to a Super Bowl. That's still mind boggling to me.
"what left him empty-handed"
Played during Michael Jordan.
xSTATOKEx lol
xSTATOKEx not when Jordan retired in 93. Two years were wide open for him to get a ring.
Anthony Broaddus dude west was insane
@@broaddusmarines I mean many all times greats probably would not have a single championship if they only have two random years to work with. Most of them chase the ring their whole carreer while only getting a couple of rings. Two years are not enough to work with.
Now if we are talking about the Knicks u right
You know this is shaq favorite episode 😂
😂😂
plus he probably made a killing betting against himself thru the career
@@l.u.rehuher3714 highly doubt it.
Starting 5 of the All-Titleless team of the Jordan-dominant 90's:
C: Patrick Ewing
F: Karl Malone, Charles Barkley
G: John Stockton, Reggie Miller
Shaq, Penny Hardaway, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp
drby0788
Shaq doesn’t count
He still went on to Win a title.
I get it though that’s the 90’s but....
Oh yea and as did GP.
Steve nash
Cyle Reyes u need sum milk bro, in his first two seasons the suns never went into second round
Farizzaky Imam true, but I meant like overall. Later in his career especially.
Jordan caused like 6 HOF to go ringless lol. Regardless, Barkley is still a Top 5 PF easily.
All facts. I never understood why they make fun of Barkley for not winning.
Jack Leone I don’t either
@Jack Leone Forreal. Shaq knows that he had to wait for Robinson, Hakeem, and MJ to age before he finally could become the man.
You might want to blame the late 80s Detroit pistons for that. Took the bulls 4 years to beat that team. They were never gonna let anyone else beat them after that type of trial by fire.
*The Bulls
“But he was also... wide” 💀
*T H I C C*
They dont call him "The Round Mound of Rebound" for nothin
Short answer: he played in an area stacked with the toughest players ever in the History of Basketball
Cap
@@iman5147 no
So did MJ
Yeah right wasn't he one
Hakeem 2
Mj 6
Magic 2
90s
You can literally make an all-time great team with the players that MJ denied a championship:
PG - Stockton
SG - Reggie Miller
SF - Barkley
PF - Malone
C - Ewing
With Penny Hardaway & Shawn Kemp & Chris Mullin coming off the bench.
Seriously.. Don't forget Payton
@Ethan Petro MJ denied him a championship. I also mentioned Payton cuz they brought up Kemp
@Ethan Petro That Heat team was so lucky to even win a chip. Perhaps the most rigged finals.
@@strangeclouds7 Doesn't matter, the glove still won a ring. The thread was about players who never won one.
@@hennylo68 Bro read the comment. Players that MJ denied a championship.. Is that too hard to understand?
could do a bunch of these together called Untitled: Thanks to Jordan
Malone and Stockton is where you would start. Also Reggie Miller, Patrick Ewing, and tons of other all time greats from the all time great era of the league.
Karl Malone and Gary Payton and John Stockton lol 😂
Thanks to Pippen, Grant, Paxson, Kerr, Rodman, Kukoc, Phil Jackson....and the garbage ass eastern conference with one hofer per team....

Brilliant idea!!! Griffey was great and I would love them to do an episode on his lack of a championship

Charles Barkley is one of my favourite players of all time. His tough "no-nonsense" demeanour and shot-making abilities makes him great.
As a Sixers fan, this pains me....Charles is my favorite all-time Sixer, and wanted him to win a title SO badly. I was rooting for the Suns SO hard in 1993, but they just came up short. It's a shame, because Sixers management failed Charles SO hard post 1987 when they tried to build around him. He's STILL mad about the Moses trade (rightfully so), and that trade + trading the #1 pick in 1986 held back the franchise SO much. If we had kept Moses, and Drafted Brad Daugherty like we should have, we still wouldn't have been as good as the Celtics in the late 80s or the Bulls in the early 90s, but we would have been set up much better to at least challenge them. And if management had actually listed to Andrew Toney, maybe he gets the proper treatment he needed for his feet and he has a few more good years which would've helped Charles I was actually happy when we traded him to Phoenix, because Philly management had just failed so dismally to build around him, so I was glad he was getting a legit shot to win somewhere else. But yeah, the combination of being in the same conference as MJ, as well as the Celtics, and not being able to get it done in 1993 all doomed him. Such a great video!
Sixers management been failing so hard since forever.
Who needs a ring when you’ve got the TNT gig 😂
You can have both. Ask Shaq.
Yeah, a TNT gig where they can’t stop telling you that you’ve got no rings. Poor Charles.
@@EdgeHeadFUHaters RINGS ERNIE
Most of those old 80’s and 90’s champion players are broke now.
So definitely the gig lol
@@EdgeHeadFUHaters and Kenny
Barkley's best shot at a title was with the Suns in '94 and '95. The Rockets became their nemesis. They were just unable to beat the Rockets even after being up 3-1, not once but twice. It's incredible.
After doing the research, 95 seemed like more of a letdown than 94 because the Rockets entered that postseason as a six seed after finishing with just 47 regular season victories. The Rockets also went a dismal 17-18 during the final portion of that campaign and their chances of repeating only had two chances, slim and none. Next thing you know, they got hot and of course, the floodgates opened when they swept the Magic in the finals.
He was drafted in 1984 in 1983 the Sixers had won the title. He had top 50’s league MVP’s and several HOF on that team. 84, 85 was his best shot.
In 94, the Suns were up 2-0 after sweeping the first two games in Houston. They then proceeded to lose 4 of the next 5 by an average of 15 points.
It wasn't the first time that the Suns entered the finals in 93. They already had a finals appearance way back then when Paul Westphal was a player and not a coach.
@@mckinneyman4325 That team was old and injured. They lost in the first round in 1984 when Barkley was at Auburn. 1985 they wasn't gonna beat Boston which gave them game 4. 1986 Barkley 2nd season they broke that team up
Barkley’s playoff numbers were insane.
barkelys teams never had a ligit center if they would of had one he would of won at least a couple titles

Can't help but cringe for Bills fans.

It's not technically too late but Joe Thornton

so wait I literally just realized that Barkley’s best chances of winning a championship and 1997 were all ended by people in his draft class this video is great btw
Those NBA on NBC games were marvelous! I miss those days!!!
Facts🎯💯
Jarome Iginla would be a real interesting focus, one of the best players of his generation who never won a Stanley cup. Had the 04 cup taken away on a bad call and then ring chased on 3 different teams with no success.
I can't believe he slipped my mind.
I totally agree. Jarome was also a hell of a competitor
I couldn't agree more
Curtis Joseph and Roberto Luongo. Both would be interesting to see.
Overrated basketball player. Never heard of her
Carmelo Anthony should get an untitled episode. couple of others could include: A.I, T-mac, Chris weber just to name a few.
Allen Iverson would make for a solid untitled.

I am starting to love this new series already. Can you do Steve Nash.
Yeah!
Haven't Phoenix Suns fans suffered enough with this video alone? What did the City of Phoenix or the suns ever do to you
I genuinely expected those Nash teams to win one, at worst. My goodness were they beasts.
Nah Allen Iverson or Karl Malone
Vince Carter and if they are going to do for other sports Larry Fitzgerald
Suggestion for the next episode of Untitled: Patrick Ewing
Christian Rutledge the answer to that is simple, Michael Jordan
@@c00chiemane29 with a side helping of Reggie Miller.
@@c00chiemane29 Ewing went to finals when jordan was retired and still couldnt win one
That's easy John Starks went 2- 17 in game 7 of the finals when Jordan retired.
Legends Never Die They put up a better fight than my Orlando Tragic.
Stockton? Malone? Miller? Ewing? soooo many possibilities for this excellent series
Mj and Olajuwan. One of the match-ups with the dream he had a 3-1 lead so he blew it mentally and loss in the rockets due to his defensive liabilities. He was a great player that failed in his brightest parts of his career and did not get over the hump.
It all comes down to which team you fit well in.
There have been players who have won championships who were not great defensively, such as Clyde Drexler.
And on the other hand there were NBA championship winning players who were great defensively, but were average at scoring efficiently or in clutch situations. Such as David Robinson. Career 18.1ppg on 47.9% shooting in the playoffs.
If Barkley had Mutombo as his teammate in the late 80s or early to mid 90s, he's most likely going to win at least 1 championship.
In 15 years: “Untitled: The Mike Trout Story.”
Might as well go ahead with the video.
it’s a damn shame too
Honestly though many great baseball players haven't won a ring so trout won't be the first. It's much rarer in basketball.
Justin Pruett oh yeah definitely! He’s amazing but his team is suffering
Stupid post. In baseball, one player doesn't make nearly as much of an impact as one does in basketball. You could put Babe Ruth on the worst team in MLB, and they still won't make the playoffs.
Chris Paul about to end up on this last along with Marino and Moss
And Harden and Westbrook
Moss didnt win with Brady? Im hazy on the early Pats
@@munchenonyou3774 I don't think so. Wasn't Moss only there for a year, the same year they went 16-0?

KJ is still my favorite player
Kj is a hall of fame player imo
He was the 90's version of DRose.
I hope you do more of these series, and I wish they had more views because they are incredibly well made. Slightly more so than all your other videos.
The Freak: Randy Moss, receiver to never win a super bowl
Kept from a ring by the special Manning brother, lol.
Hagonian and Joe Flacco
Snow Wolf a Charles Rogers reference never thought I’d see the day. Knew him well, sad story.
Another interesting fact about Moss is that Brady, Belichick & the 49ers all got their very 1st SB loss w/ Moss on their squad.
"Why did Charles Barkley never win a ring?"
Michael Jordan: allow me to introduce myself
Bulls as whole. It wasn't because of Michael, because Michael had three straight first round exits before the office put help around him.
Mj and The bulls were the reason a lot of legends didn’t win rings. Hakeem too
Yeah rings are won by teams not individuals. People keep forgetting that
@@stevensb.guillaume4754 umm hakeem won 2 rings And 2 fmvps
Add Hakeem too
I think the 1995 Suns team was Barkley’s second best chance at a ring. Not mentioned here was the fact they significantly revamped with bench depth and added a good Danny Manning. He was playing some of the best basketball of his career, gave the Suns a big inside presence, and had them out to the leagues best records when he blew out his ACL in a late season practice. If he’s healthy I think they roll into the Finals.
I also get a little tired of people bagging Barkley’s Houston years. Yes, they were old. They were also really good his first season and came up just short of reaching the Finals. The window on that team to win more titles was closing anyway so why not add Barkley?
This was great! Can you do one on the 2002 Sacramento Kings and them getting cheated out of going to the NBA finals?
We need one of these for Allen Iverson
Thats a pretty easy answer. He was an inefficient scorer and not a great teammate. Great scorer and amazing hustle for his size but he's lucky he got to see the finals at all.
Ryan Sansaricq yeah but if they made a video about it they would go into more detail. We know the reasonwhy barkley dosent have a ring, Because Jordan. But a video about it would be much more interesting
@@YoungOddo true. I think he got really unlucky in terms of coaches or teammates. He had an older Mutumbo for like 1 season and thats it... rough.
Rodzilla AI had locks???
Such an easy answer: he was only great for one season. And even with DPOY, COTY, AND 6MOTY on his team, he couldn't even come close to beating the Lakers. Add to that the Nets and Pistons making waves in the east, he would never sniff another finals. Traded to Denver to become a glorified scorer and never make waves in the playoffs. Funny how the nuggets trade him to Detroit for Billups and then immediately go to the western conference finals same year. In short: AI is soooooooooo overrated
On top of my head:
Randall Cunningham, Donovan McNabb, Randy Moss, Junior Seau, Jim Kelly, Barry Sanders, Dan Marino.
That whole Bills team could be a 3-hour long episode
Fran Tarkenton
McNabb made 4 consecutive NFC championship games. Really sad he couldn't get a ring
I can see the Buffalo Bills 2 part series(90-91 and 92-93).
@@StevenTokyo06 I believe the Bills would be a 4 part series?

Charles was such a beast. People really forget how dominant he was. He was super unlucky having to face two of the greatest players of all time in the finals and western conference finals in MJ and Hakeem. No one mentions him as one of the best PFs of all time. Usually it’s TD, Malone, and KG as the top 3 and Charles never gets mentioned. Dude is an all time great

You could basically cover a ton of this series with people from the Mariners. Ichiro, Griffey Jr., Edgar, Felix...
Dan Marino?
@@italics610 Dan Marino would also be a good one.

@@imightbebiased9311 Also another solid player with no World Series rings is Alfonso Soriano.
Man I LOVE these historic NBA lessons
I remember vividly that 94-95 team. It was clearly Chuck's best shot to grab the brass ring. Deep and veteran team with versatile scorers. They looked invincible in December with a revived Danny Manning a force off the bench. But then he blew out his knee and it all slipped away.
If only he had Dikembe Mutombo as his teammate instead of 6"9, Oliver Miller or 6"9 A.C. green as his center.
Damn the name of this series is awesome. When I first saw the name I was kinda confused that they hadn't picked a name yet.

@12:11 I see Charles, Kurt, Muggsy and RuPaul...strange times in the 90s I guess lol
Ha ha! I love how they consider Barkley “short” at 6’6”. I guess you have to be at least seven feet to haul down rebounds. :)
It is short for a power forward not for a person

Someone should do "the creation of SB nation deserves a deep rewind"
ESPN was on the TV the other day and it was a talking head show where the people were doing their usual endless speculation - I was talking with my girlfriend and she made a point that one thing that SB Nation does that's interesting is that instead of endlessly fretting about the future like ESPN does, SB Nation is a lot more slower and deliberate, they're about unpacking the past of sports. And hunkering in and telling a good story.
Skippy the Alien CNN popped in my head as I was watching - exact same structure...just people yelling at each other because it makes good background noise. Or maybe it feels like a progression of a plot like how on tv shows they’ll have scenes of people walking and talking.
But then Pardon the Interruption popped in my head as not exactly a counterpoint...but something. Like, that show is people speculating and yelling like all the others, but at least it was around two people who liked each other and were good friends and knew each other for decades.
All these other shows, it feels like a performance. They’re making up their opinions on the fly and not for a second do I think they genuinely believe them.
Cruyff, Zico, Messi or other football greats that have never won a title for their national team would be an interesting subject for this series.
much better, USMNT.

Round Mound of Rebound. My first NBA player as a kid that I idolized, and in turn introduced me to the game I would forever be in love with. As a Philly kid born in 1982, the late 80s and early 90s Barkley Sixers teams were my first love. I actually became a Suns fan after the trade, had the Suns starter jacket and all. The one and only time I genuinely rooted for a team outside my Philly 4 for 4 roots. It’d be 10 years until the prime Iverson years. Then we would be put through the Process to wait almost 15 years for a legitimate championship shot. I’ve said this is my last window to see a Sixers championship in my lifetime. Unfortunately we all know the rebuild system in the NBA is broken. Kwahi going to Toronto was the unforeseen roadblock last year, in which an injured Warriors dynasty had paved a way to a championship window. This year is make or break for the Sixers...the East is theirs for the taking and any West opponent will be beatable. But next year the Nets and a healthy Durant with unknown free agency movement will provide a tougher path. Just hoping for an injury free season and will accept whatever happens if so.
I watched a good part of 1993's finals game 6. One of the best moments was an interview, mid games 5 and 6, when one Sun's player said he saved Phil Jackson from watching a Grateful Dead show (which the coach said he hoped the series would end early, so he could go to the concert).
That's hilarious 😂

Do a special on Iverson's '2004 - 2007' years. How he revamped his game and started this whole 30ppg and 8apg wave that Westbrook and Harden are on today. Nobody was dropping 40/10 games on a regular back then. Share insight on how he was snubbed for 2008 USA team despite being one of the top players in the league in 2006. How the Detroit trade completely dissolved his career etc etc. Blacklisting by Stern. I always found that angle interesting.
I have to say. You all do a fantastic job on these. They are soothing, informative and entertaining all at the same time. Did Nolan Ryan ever win a world series though?

Are you stupid, Jordan only won 6 rings. Nobody by that I mean nobody ate during Bill Russell time.
@@TJ-sc9ms 9 HOF teammates in a league of only 8 team's, Shidd they weren't suppose to Boston had ALL the Damn TALENT !!!
Garbage competition, unbalanced teams, the ONLY sg worth talking about in the east from 90-94....Come fly with me? Craig ehlo? Todd Day? Rex Chapman? Jeff Hornacek? Joe Dumars? Stacy Augmon? Dee Brown? Mugsy Bouges? Hershey Hawkins? Hubert Davis? John starks? Reggie Miller? Ngga please
Lucky he retired. The kept Hakeem away in 93. Couldn't do that forever.
@@southernflavamaker lol just loud and wrong
That "ah, come on" is the most real bit of sadness I've ever heard.
I gotta like the videos so future me knows that I've already watched these videos. They're that good
If you mute the video and listen closely, you can hear Shaq laughing loudly somewhere in the distance for the entire video
under. rated. comment. !!!
Here let me save y'all 20 min: JORDAN
Exactly what I was going to say
Jordan had nothing to do with the 80’s. That was all 76’ers front office, Celtics and Pistons.
It’s ungodly how much MJ gets blown from fans, most of whom didn’t follow or weren’t born in that era. Many have never even seen Jordan play a live game....but instead are just going off the narrative that MJ is the greatest because of clips they’ve seen on YT......which in itself is debatable.
I’ll definitely agree that he’s in the conversation and might even be the greatest, but he’s not head and shoulders above everyone like people think.
@@StuUngar all the other legends and hall of famers have said MJ is the greatest, and head and shoulders above themselves. I think I'll trust what they say.
Mamba824 SOME of the legends say Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time.
I’ve never heard any NBA legend say Jordan was head and shoulders above everyone else. Is prime Jordan better than prime Magic? Maybe, but if he is, youre talking about a small difference. Same with Oscar Robertson, Chaimberlain, Olajuwon, Kareem and James.
Mamba824 Uh most players say that about other great players
great video!! i think that malone and stockton should be next
From one Seth to another, please bring back those iconic stars and stripes style 76ers uniforms from 1991-1994.
Those suns uniforms were amazing
The ones they wore from 92 to 2000 were badass I would have to agree...
Best ever IMHO
90s nba Jersey are the best overall

Seth Rosenthal went from good to great with this episode. Bravo!
The first 5-ish minutes of this sounded like a mini episode of Collapse
Also that Bulls-Sun Finals is probably one of the best Finals I've ever personally watched drama wise.
WE LIKE SPORTS AND WE DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS
From shooting hoops, to the Super Bowl.
I will always appreciate Barkley's greatness.
I love these mini docs
Great video 👍🏼
It’s because he was on the Suns, only the Diamondbacks can break the Arizona sports curse
There's also Phoenix Rising soccer team, who admittedly are small and not nationally relevant, who look good to win it all this year.
Dont forget the Phoenix Mercury of the WNBA. 3 time champions
Even though he’s still in the league, at this point he probably won’t win one... Phillip Rivers
killerewok55 he was on a team with the best offense and defense and didn’t make the playoffs
@@treypruitt1358 doo doo special teams
Excellent videos
Well put video
So that’s why he performed the Chaos Dunk
I am so here for this series. I love SB nation!!
Also; Jim Kelly?
Keep this series coming, I like NBA story
Bruh I thought this was Bill Simmons narrating in the beginning
Facts. He Sounds Alot like him.
