@@SuperBlobsterMan There are a lot of rings out there but not in Barkleys possession. I like Charles as a commentator yes your right he is on his game no doubt.
Shaq’s main skill later in his career was being enormous, and jack-hammering his ponderous mass into the key for an easy 2. He was relatively thin here and couldn’t do that. Barkley was a great player, but he wouldn’t have been able to guard, for instance, Olajuwon that way. He would have been completely cooked.
I grew up and still am a Bucks Fan. Only Basketball Jersey I'd ever bought as a teenager was Barkley's when he went to Phoenix. I even bought the Trunks to go with the Jersey.
I got to see him live in Milwaukee in 1992 when he was playing for Sixers. He had Manute Bol on his team so it was really like 4 Sixers vs 5 Bucks when Sixers were on offense. Barkly had such a silky smooth jumper for such a big man it was incredible. Manute Bol never played offense he only stay on defensive side of court when Sixer got the ball Manute would walk up to half court and wait for Bucks to get the ball and then get under the rim to try blocking shots.
The Rock is apparently 6'5 (as it claims), but Barkley was several inches taller than the Rock when they stood next to each other in 2013. I don't think the Rock is 6'5, but Barkley did look at least 6'6.
Will always love Chuck for motivating my '94-95 Rockets when we were down 3-1 to the Suns: "No teams is beating us 3 straight with us having 2 games at home."
@@binkyxz3 Love Danny Ainge instead for leaving Mario Elie wide open for the kiss of death (Ainge also left Paxson open in 93 for no reason in the world).
I remember watching this live on tv. The essence of competition in my opinion. Charles and Rodman just never back down. Imagine Shaq looking this athletic and still dominant in size and strength.
I used to go to the games. My dad had season tickets in the 90s and I remember this game. The gorilla was awesome. I miss this era of basketball and no cellphones
This is proof of how strong Barkley was. Putting a guard against a huge center in Shaq and chuck winning the match up. Today's players keep flexing but can't even do what chuck does. Worst is that the self proclaimed goat keeps flopping even though he is bigger and better built than chuck...
@@solidsnake8331 yup, he still outsmarted him though. Plus Shaq had another little player named Kobe on his team. Perhaps you’ve heard of him. Barkley had Dan Majerle
They were a good fight when playing, but Shaq can't hold a damn candle when it comes to actually being entertaining. Chuck's got personality and jokes for miles. Shaq's got.. thin-skinnned bitterness and um.. I'll get back to you tomorrow for the rest of that thought.
Barkley, easily best ever PF under 6'6". Top 5 any size. My favorite Barkley quote when ask about Rodman. Can't score, can't guard anyone and I'll show you tonight. If I remember correctly Chuck put 40 and 20 on Rodman that night.
7'+ wingspan and 39" vertical, Charles has far more reach than most players. Height doesn't matter when you can out reach, out jump, out bump most players.
For some context though you have to remember this is Shaq's rookie year and in 93 Chuck has been in the league for 10 years and his first year in Phoenix and he took them to the finals ultimately losing to the hot first 3peat Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan.
Both players were on top of their games and Shaquille O' Neal bringing down the back board is crazy and it goes to show you how strong he was as a player and that's why people didn't mess with him so much. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
This was the era when players competed against each other and didn’t join each other, I have great respect for players like Barkley, Malone, Kemp, Ewing, Webber, Hill, Stockton, Wilkins and other stars who may not have gotten a championship but still had a HOF career, these so called stars of today’s game, well I guess you could say that they are entertaining 😉
I believe today's players on average*** are better, more athletic, and certainly better shooters. But they are also all mentally weak divas so it still looks lame to fans of tough basketball like seen here. But those greats listed could still smoke today's fragile stars
Amazing how many videos there are titled Barkley vs Shaq, Barkley vs Robinson, Barkley vs Duncan.... and he was 6'6. Crazy!! Oh and he will also literally fight anyone. Legend
The 93 Suns were one of the most fun teams to watch in my memory and Sir Charles was unstoppable. It's a shame they lost the finals to MJ's Bulls, that team deserved a championship. It was one of the most entertaining finals ever Charles vs MJ.
Dang, Barkley was so strong, able to move Shaq around and able to take the contact from Shaq without falling...unlike 2000s n beyond...flopping all over the place
Prime Barkley was second only to Jordan. I remember the 92 Dream team where he dominated and the 93 season where he took a mediocre (but exciting) Suns to the finals.
Charles Barkley has to be considered ONE of the best power forwards to ever play The Game undersized most games against opponents but Drive and Desire over and above most opponents!
We all need to see clips like this of Barkley because now that he says a lot of silly things in a serious manner it reminds us that he as a great basketball player. He showed Shaq that he was just as big as Shaq but just shorter.
The fact that Barkley is 6'4", weighted "only" 250 lb. or so and held his ground against a 7'1", 300 lb. freak of nature is insane. Sir Charles' strength and positional understanding were underrated.
Charles may be the lovable clown to the younger generation, but make no mistake: He was an absolute freak of nature; he wasn't even 6'5", and going after it against Shaq.
He was 6'6", he slouches a lot but when you see him standing straight next to other players you can see quote obviously that the 6'4" myth was just that.
Like I said, it’s an oft repeated myth. I have a book on the 92 dream team which says the same thing. You just have to see Barkley next to other people to know it’s bogus. He’s got a good 3-4 inches on Kenny Smith and he towers over the Rock (who’s an easy 6’3”).
I miss how they covered the NBA, great story lines, good sound bites in between, the anchors were great talking about the game and the players, the camera angles. It just seemed so perfect, good times, great teams and team play. And the most important part, the players play hard, respected each other and there wasn't any crazy insane hate towards each other, nothing like today. They weren't swinging at each other and they didn't dress like thugs or clowns, like they do today. Jordan the billionaire baller was ice cold in his suits. Today it just seems more about egos and stats, minus the Denver Nuggets.
Players today act like they're going to a 9-to-5 office job. Show up, quietly do your job and go home. Those things you mentioned are gone and the sport seems very passionless to me these days.
Although I dislike Charles he was a monster when he was playing. Smart, strong guy that basically dominated Shaq on the court. If Charles played today he would dominate all the big men in todays league.
He didn't back than! Charles was just another allstar..if he was all that he wudda won a ring. Yet yaw same dudes say LBJ is a negative b/c he won 4/10 finals..yaw a so casual yaw sound like 6th graders..
Charles Barkley is one of the greatest PF in NBA history. And i love him...for example i know Tim is better overall but in my starting five however would be Charles :) Magic Jordan Bird Barkley Olayuwon :) uhhh i wish i can see these together
Love shaq, but barkley was my favourite as a kid! I used to try and play like him and copy his moves. He could pretty much play any position, was so physically strong, hustled like crazy, and could anticipate where the ball was going before it got there! Such an inspiration!
Sixer and Sun Charles are strong as Shaq prime at 6'5 height. Chuck doesn't even took his game too seriously at that time. One of the best scoring power forward in game history.
Barkley was as competitive and relentless as Michael Jordan. He just wasn't as athletic. Imagine if he could fly to the hoop like MJ with his intensity.
