Charles Barkley 28pts/18rebs/6asts/3stls/4blks vs Celtics (1987)

April 5 1987
In a game filled with his antics, Charles Barkley completely stuffs the stat sheet-similar to him with Pizza Hut-with 28 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 4 blocks, against the Boston Celtics, who would make the NBA Finals this season.
I can't remember if Charles was one of the many broadcasters/analysts poking fun at Patrick Beverly's over-celebrating a play-in victory, but this game features Barkley over-celebrating after beating the Celts in OT.

The Boston Celtics front line (Parrish, McHale, Bird) were no match for the relentless 6-5, 263-pound, Charles Barkley. Barkley was a brutish, powerful, ferocious, and nasty inside player that was unstoppable in the paint. Barkley was a beast
