I don't think the game of basketball will ever come to this level of talent and excitement again. I find myself nervous and excited watching this game and I can look at a game coming on tonight and it will be like watching paint dry!#imisstheolddays.
Tim Duncan is a center. He starts the game as a 4 and then goes to the 5 spot when the ball is tipped. He wants to be labeled as a power forward so he would not have to go up against Kareem, Russel Wilt Shaq Hakeem and Ewing as greatest ever. Barkley and Malone are the two greatest power forwards.
No Ryan Duncan WAS and ALWAYS WAS A PF. He was SIMPLY THE BEST LOW POST PLAYER? He and ROBINSON just took turns on their PATENT HIGH/LOW OFFENSE. He is DOING the SAME THING NOW with ALDRIDGE just HE NOW IS ROBINSON, PASSIN to ALDRIDGE in THE POST?
Ryan Davis He is a PF.. I never saw him at C against Shaq for example.. David Robinson was C and later some random guys.. He started to playing C, when all BIG guys dissapeared from the NBA
00:25 unreal athleticism. And for those without any aesthetic sense, I'm talking about the full-body control. Those who have a taste for these things, you know...
In this game, Rick Barry, doing color commentary, said, "Michael is the best player I've ever seen." This was only Jordan's 4th full season before he won a championship.
barkley is on another level... the combination of speed and power is insane. the closest thing comparable to sixers barkley is lebron, but lebron wasnt as physical as him. also gotta love late 80s/early 90s basketball! just look at sixers frontcourt = barkley, mahorn, gminski... good luck getting any rebounds against them.
michael macgregor - seriously. Honestly, in some ways, I think Chuck is clearly better than LBJ. Chuck is clearly a better rebounder, by far a better post player and he was similar to MJ in that he played better on the biggest stages. LBJ is perhaps the better overall player but it's not nearly as big a gap as one might think. Chuck had all the skills of a guard as well as being an incredible post presence - imagine him playing in today's wide open game? He would dominate and i mean truly dominate.
raider nation - nice proof, lol. Certainly it's close but there are many areas Barkley's better. He's a better rebounder, better post player, better clutch player. He's much tougher mentally. Barkley was a competitor who shined when the pressure was greatest. LBJ is the opposite. He wilts in the big moments. Media is constantly lying and making excuses for him. Lbj - "my basically broken hand! That's why I lost. Don't worry about the two handed dunks. Forget that happened. My BASICALLY broken hand!"! Lmfao! If Barkley had the same opportunities and the NBA behind him allowing him to form his own teams and all the other nonsense, he'd have accomplished so much. Especially as weak as the East was during LBJ's stretch. He never faced one team the came close in talent to his two super teams. Everyone ignores it because ESPN lies nonstop and ignores the facts when the facts don't line up with their narrative. It's pathetic. LBJ is great but he's overrated. Bottom line, I'd have no problem picking Barkley over LBJ. He might not bee outright better but it's close. And he's tougher. Period. Under pressure, that's everything.
The Greatest Powerforward Ever! and The Greatest Shooting Guard Ever!
damn Barkley was clutch on the free throws
later he bcame lazy and obese 8^D
yeah

Likewise I miss this NBA where I knew the name of role players not just the stars
correct
Gotta love Skip Caray calling NBA games on TNT during their early days, in addition to calling games for TBS around that time.

Thank you I'm glad someone finally pointed that out. If you're taller than 6'10 you're a center Mr. Fundamentals!
No he came in as a PF. David Robinson was the Center

yeah
Barkley was a freak of nature s,all forward point guard long arms could jump
8:19 Vintage Sir Charles!
24 in the 4th. It was all MJ for the bulls. Gg
barkley better that Malone
Peak for peak, yes. Longevity and overall accomplishments? I think Malone edges Barkley.
@@APOCALYPSE_X-MEN well said, and I'm the biggest Barkley fan ever
@@APOCALYPSE_X-MEN Malone had Stockton
Malone is definitely better
@@APOCALYPSE_X-MEN From 1984 -1996 Charles from 1997-1999 Karl.
Barry was a great announcer
What a vital, vivid beast he was
gotta love chuck
TNT in the early years.
ted turner wants to murder you and me 8^D
10:37 he's cuffing it on a fast break...ridiculous

5:48 making mince meat of sixers D

Actually his 5th full season, 6th overall, but yeah he always had admiration for Mike’s game.
This is Jordan’s 6th season

That makes me chuckle, man. It just sounds funny.
Gratitude
Never seen this game from this side of the court. It's like watching a new game lol.
Magic, Larry, Kareem, Hakeem and etc popularized it.
Full game pls tnks
why were the numbers 32, 33 and 34 so popular?
First, the whole lebron Jordan thing is crazy because Jordan destroys him in a landslide. Second, Barkley basically as good as lebron.

Boogie Loo he dominated in his own time too
@@boogieloo1831 In no way is Barkley better than Lebron

@@boogieloo1831 first off, Barkley was a traditional power forward. Second the myth of lebron not being clutch has long since been debunked.
Barkley starts and plays a lot at the small forward spot here.
+Akil Sharp He was a swing forward
I argue all day with young folks about 2012 vs 1992. But why would Kobe say that a team that he is playing for lose????
Barkley was small forward that game
its close between tim duncan and chuck
Imagine if Chuck was 7'1" like Duncan...
its 2023......aaarrrhghghghghg
Yet Kobe said the 2012 Dream Team could take the original Dream Team. LMAO!!!!
:(
Malone and Duncan are better than Charles
