Charles barkley was the very definition of a paint beast. Dude was relentless. Ring or no ring he was an all time great and deserves everyone's respect.
even with out a ring he was one of the best
Had he gotten the trade to Portland they would have won multiple championships rather than lose two finals. Sir Charles & Drexler with Jerome Kersey & Danny Ainge what a foursome.
True.
@@adamsamuel8593 I agree 110% and dont forget about point gaurd Terry Porter. He was once an all star. Also him and Clyde Drexler had formed one of the best backcourts in the NBA at that time. Porter was a 17-20 ppg point guard that could give you 7-10 ast per game while shooting 40% from 3 ooint range. Very underrated point gaurd. At one time was an all-star and was an all-star caliber point gaurd. In this gaurd dominated era he would have a field day!!! But yes, that Portland Team was stacked.
Also image if Phoenix had a healthy Cedric Ceballos. Dude was sort of similar to Shawn Marion. You didnt need to run plays for him. He slashed to the rim and he always cut to the basket while Barkley would post up. His style of play complimented Barkleys half court game as Barkley would run the offense out of the post and kick out to shooters like Thunder Dan and Danny Ainge or find cutters cutting to the rim like Ceballos & Dumas. Imagine if Dumas didn't get suspended for the drug thing the following season? Richard Dumas was on the rise but he fell victim to the traps of having money and time on your hands even tho he had a wife & child. Having money, to much time on your hands and lousy bitches aka groupies and drugs and peer presure of the league can destroy great players on the rise.
Oh and don't forget how Stern rigged games for his school boy crush Jordan lol😂😂😂
Jordan was great, but he was also great for the league and NBC's ratings and the billiin dollar TV contract the NBA had with NBC. At the end of the day Jordan had to win. PERIOD POINT BLANK!!!
Stern was like Mullin, Ewing, Miller, Reggie Lewis, Drezen Petrovic, Malone, Stockton, Dominque Wilkins, Barkley FUCK YOUR LEGACY AND TAKE THE MONEY TO LOSE TO MICHEAL OR ELSE OR DIE...
Len Bias, Reggie Lewis and Drezen Petrovic & Roy Tarpley we're key players who was a threat to Jordan's legacy and Stern's script.
Ask Tim Donohue...
I miss NBA 90's basketball but as I look back now as a grown man who thinks for himself who has evolved in his thinking I now realized this shit was scripted AS FUCK LOL!!!
So was the 80's except for the bad boys aka Detroit Pistons said fuck your script stern.
It was too much parity for the Bulls to win every year.
Yeah something in that milk ain't white lol😂😂😂
At the end of the day Magic, Bird, George "Ice Man" Gervin, Dominque Wilkins, Isiah Thomas, Doctor J and Moses saved the league in the 80's but Stern & Jordan made the game global and brought money into the league in the 90's.
Thats why at the end of the credits of a nba broadcast it doesn't say NBA Basketball it says NBA ENTERTAINMENT... get it ENTERTAINMENT!!! Scripted just like pro wrestling. And Im not even gonna get on Vegas and the Mob and also the illuminati's involvement in the NBA. Its all about ratings, money and big market teams AND YES I'M A PROUD CONSPIRACY THEORIST!!! Big corporations and the government call people who are on to their shit derogatory terms like conspiracy theorist but I've learn to embrace it and I DONT GIVE A FUCK!!! I'M A PROUD CONSPIRACY THEORIST!!!
If he had a Kobe or a Wade he would have won a title.
Yeah you really can't define his career by rings. That's just unfair. Unbelievable player.
You can have Duncan, Garnett and Malone, i'm taking Charles all day everyday as my PF.
Drake Lang Timmy won because of his team
@Drake Lang Your argument is shit, replace Duncan on the Spurs with Barkley and the Spurs still win all those titles but does Duncan with the Suns do anything, I think not, especially against the bulls.
@Drake Lang Also, I don't really care who is actually the better player overall but it's unfair to dismiss Barkley by suggesting he can't win when the guy had to go up against Jordan and the Bulls, Hakeem and the Rockets 2 years in a row, nobody else, not even Duncan could have won in that situation.
@@YaKnowWhatIming true
Barkley has admitted Tim Duncan the greatest pf ever
Barkley was a beast of a player. This was in the finals against a Bulls team that were great. He was one of the best of his generation. Super talented Baller and in my opinion the best power forward of his era.
The Only Thing Barkley Couldn't Do Is Shoot Threes

@@futuregohan4837 True, but on the other side, threes didn't really matter back in the 90s as they do now.
@@futuregohan4837 doesn’t matter it was a different era
@@futuregohan4837 he actually shot some.. lol
check out his career high game, for a sample)
but anyways, he had a different style, true
That move by Chuck at 7:08 was absolutely immaculate... Such savvy to slowly lower his foot to relax the defender and then drive past at full speed.
This Phoenix team needs to be on 2k
Mark Jones you are sooooo smart to say that..
they so need to be on there...why does Barkley get outed on 2k ?
@@TruthBTold- Barkley refuses to allow them to use his likeness unless NBA2k agrees to give some of their profits to retired NBA players.
They have legends teams on 2k?
@@robertENperry Where you been? They have a bunch of classic teams. But Barkley has explained he wants more money. They haven't hit the number he wants. He probably looking for MJ type money.
jeebs9 good to know might have try the game out.
60 FPS for a 90s game? Holy shit you are a legend.
+Ernesto Hendrix that was my first thought too.
better than some early 2000's video
@@eboooo I don't even think NBA has this lol. Their selection SUCKS lol
UBR ULTIMATE ROSTER
Truth!
I don't care what anyone says but Barkley's Nike Air FORCE MAX '93s were pretty awesome! I wish Nike would go back to making shoes like these...Even the Nike air MAX strong 1 & 2's were awesome too!!
Next to MJ my favourite player ever. Too tough, too strong, too skilled. Unreal talent. Bow down to Sir Charles ⚔️
Sir. Charles is still my favourite player
Mine too
Love how clear and hi Def this video is; seems like we are watching it live.
Charles was a beast! He was even a better player in Philly!
I loved the bulls but I really wish the suns had won this series, Charles was and still is my all time favourite player
Now I see what Barkely meant when he says you invite the double team. A guy like Blake Griffin should be studying film of Barkely's low post skills every day.
+Hopper830 and LBJ does it every time as well
+OCRAM MC LBJ doesn't have anywhere the post presence as Barkley
+Jason Hill thats true but he is still decent in post . watch him in heat and 2015final
+OCRAM MC pls the paint aint guarded anywhere near wen Barkley played. there is no big man presence in todays game. ZERO
the five second back to the basketball and man/zone hybrid defenses that are present today make it harder for a guy to see where a double is coming from. with that being said though I think Barkley would love the thought of facing up and using his athleticism to score first in today's game.
Barkley was my favorite player as a kid. I remember watching this game and the entire Phoenix Suns run live with my dad. I will always cherish those childhood memories.
Funny how some ppl compare Draymon Green to Chuck
Barkley would ttl destroy Green
HeyItsUltra! that means nothing Charles is a HOF, the only thing draymond can best him in is shooting 3s
***** No they wouldn't wtf are you talking about. Rodman was arguably the greastest rebounder of all time. Draymond has had no where near the impact he has had. And i never disrespected anyone im just pointing out the obvious
***** No one is starting to say shit, its been said. And ill tell you why, its because seven times in his career he averaged at least 15 rebounds. Plus he was only 6'7.
are you really comparing Green with Barkley?sir Charles was MVP,top 50 player ever (in my opinion he is top 20-25)...Barkley in his 10 prime years avg 25-12-5....in 93 finals Barkley avg 27.5 points 13 rebounds and 5.5 assists but Bulls won because MJ avg 41-8.5-6.5....
chuck aint no scrub no doubt but you aint say shit .... green would hold his own ....I dont know about getting destroyed.
Charles Barkley really is one of the greatest players of all time, him being in the Hall of Fame and being on the top 75 all-time best team backs up my point
These finals were probably the best finals we could ever see. For me this was unbeatable serie. Great péerformace from both sites.
And very nice quality of click. Thank you.
The best!
Maybe my favorite basketball player of all time. Just so unique, versatile, and entertaining. Outstanding vision of the floor. When he put the ball on the floor on a fastbreak from (let's face it) usually his own rebound, it meant it was your ass There will never be a player quite like him. Jordan is arguably the best but you see his SG high-flying flaunty playstyle mimicked so much; he just did it better than anyone else. You can really see his (Barkley's) passion in the way he imposed his will on the game. He was raw heart in games and it's a crying shame that his lack of ring marks him as not having "the heart of a champion." Bullshit.
Love that competitive fire you see between Pippen and Barkley, you don't see that much at all today.
It would be a tech ... flagrant two with a sixty game suspension!
You ask me the power forward I'm taking to start a team. Charles Barkley end of story 🙌
This footage is absolutely beautiful at 60fps and 720! I feel like it's happening live when I see it! Takes me right back to 1993 and my aspirations for the Suns to become world champs! Thanks for posting this!
Barkley posts up bigger dudes like it's supposed to be done that way. It's forgotten that his backdown post game made them create the 5-second rule. Wilt stuff. At his height, absolutely incomparable.
Damn didn't remember how good the sun's lineup was this year. They were pretty stacked.
93 barkley was 3rd best player of the entire 90s after 91 jordan, 94 olajuwon- then barkley, then 6 versions of jordan, malone and olajuwon again. people forget what a physical freak he was. his ability to jump off - standing - quick twitch- was incredible- he was 6'5" and able to rebound people 7'2"- and the entire league ! other than rodman . total freak.
I think Barkley was beyond human in 1993 but was better in 1990 and 1991, but his Sixers team were not as good. As for best 90s players, I think '94 Pippen, '95 David Robinson, and late 90s Shaq belong in the conversation for best 90s players.
@@ihouse82 91-Jordan, 93-Hakeem, 94-Robinson, 90-Barkley, 90-Magic
@@sideshowbobsaget8876 I like your list more than mine
Get the fuck out here....93 Barkley could not stand next to any pre retirement Jordan
Barkley was one of the superstars who had great games but overshadowed by mj's greatness!few remember his performance since mj score 55 in this nba finals game!
Thanks for the superb transfer! This is the best-looking vintage game on RUclips I've ever seen. And for my favorite Finals match-up of all time!
This man was a beast. You may not think to much of him now but you can’t deny that he was a great player in his time.
Barkley was a beast in the post. Shaq and Kenny give Barkley sxxx about not winning a title but Barkley was the absolute bus driver of his team. Shaq had Kobe and Kenny is nothing with Hakeem. Look at the output by Barkley to keep them in the game. He’s a beast.
The memories!!!!! Great video quality. Thanks for posting
This is arguably The Best Game of Charles Barkley's Career. And Sir Charles is arguably the best player to not win a Championship. But that doesn't mean he wasn't a great player. Charles Barkley is clearly one of the very best to ever do it.
Not even close.
@@IndianaSmallmouth Charles Barkley is a Hall of Famer. No question about it man.
People have flat out forgotten the way this guy could do EVERYTHING in his prime. Take a look at how many times he carries the ball up court and runs the play or isolates, ultimately resulting in him scoring or an assist to another Suns player. He could be a point forward when necessary, but was always rebounding & scoring like a machine and finding a way to make his teammates better. I can't think of a better player to not have the fortune to win a championship. And having watched players like Barkley & Malone in their prime, I cannot see why Tim Duncan is the unanimous #1 PF of all time, it isn't that simple.
Duncan was a Center masquerading as a PF. Maybe that's part of what made him so versatile.
He could legit switch between PF/C no problem and do the job requirements of both positions on offense and defense. I would take Barkley over him on offense no question.
Barkley was a better scorer, offensive rebounder and passer. Although Duncan could pass it pretty well too.
Because he was a better defender than both Combined, Malone choked and never won anything while he had Stockton, Barkley had two 21 points game where he shot 38% and 37% in game 1 and game 6.
@@Himmy21 Malone won something, two Western Conference titles, just not the championship.
the title is accurate because these finals really were Charles Barkley vs The Chicago Bulls
This was the best Finals series that I've ever seen.
One of the greatest of my NBA watching era and it doesn’t matter that he never won a ring.
Charles is very underrated as a player. He's just as good a Lebron James or Karl Malone in my opinion.
justaloe nope, he is better
justaloe lol, he was great, but no. Not even close.
Malone yes, Lebron no. Just doesn't do as many things out there as Lebron does. Plus Lebron takes his conditioning much more seriously than Barkley ever did, and thus will have a longer career. At respective peaks though - hard to separate them - Barkley was just a phenomenon in his prime
I've watched both guys play in their primes and I love Lebron's game but he was not a better offensive player than Barkley, he just wasn't. Charles was one of the best post up players of all time but better than Lebron and he was a very good outside shooter. I would give Lebron the edge defensively. Charles was actually a great passer but he wasn't asked to be the point forward like Lebron is.
@@AK-74K
Lebron = an unskilled loser
Sir Charles....what Amazing player
I just wish the Suns had Ceballos for this series. He had been unreal slashing to the basket drawing defenders away from Chuck. What a year for Phoenix
Watching Barkley back in the day it seemed like he never missed (except when shooting 3s) He shot a high percentage in his prime (57-60) percent. Yes he got some close shots but he was also deadly from mid range.
Barkley definitely a better all time player then Pippen
Oooooooooo Chuck taking that ball from Jordan and dunking it was SAWEEET!!!
Don’t understand how people say basketball it so much better now. All of the guys were BEASTS. Barkley is a GOAT!!
Very very skillful. Dont mention Draymond in the same sentence as Chuck.
Lol
he was really such a complete player.... man he just had the best team infront of him, but he was amazing
Greatest power forward to ever play the game.. check out that pass at 1:25
That was a nice pass.
I was an average undersized forward when I started playing 🏀 (back then). I immediately became a force after I started copying Chuck’s game. 💪🏽 Charles Barkley would still be a force in today’s NBA.
Sometimes I have a hard time believing this the same big dude on the right side of the desk on Inside the NBA.
best player in history without a title
what a pity that barkley got no rings in his career
Sam So Ik I’m years late but if Barkley got a ring he be the greatest power forward ever even better than Duncan to me tbh
@Thomas Suter Rodman wasn't on the 93 team when they played the suns, try again
This team overachieved and made it to the Finals because of this man. Without him it's probably a first round exit.
No, just no. Suns were one of the top teams in the West for years. This was the perfect moment to get Barkley because Chambers somehow aged ten years in one summer, so Charles basically replaced him.
Suns would've beaten the Bulls in these Finals if it weren't for the unfortunate injuries to Ceballos and KJ. Ceballos couldn't play and Dumas was a nice off the bench player, but he wasn't even close to Ceballos, who could also guard Pippen. KJ played, but he was suffering from a late season knee injury and was playing at 50% at best. He couldn't penetrate at all, and a year later he was dunking on Hakeem in the playoffs.
The next two years it was Barkley who had injuries in the playoffs, and they lost to Houston twice because of that. Suns were unlucky, but they were a championship caliber team who just had injuries at the wrong time. This series also shows how large the gap is between franchise players and someone like Pippen. Scottie gets so much credit for being a great supporting player for MJ, but he wasn't even close to being at that franchise player level.
Had this man played with a Hall of Famer like everyone else. He'd be a champion
So how is that Barkley was only a legit 6'4 played mostly in post/paint yet rarely did u see him ever get his shot blocked. His timing & foot work was game
7'+ wingspan 40" vert when he was a Sixer. Height doesn't matter if you can outreach everyone and outbox them with that ASS
Sir Charles Barkley was usually the best player on the court 2nd to only MJ.
When Mj was at his peak.. Chuck won MVP.. that's how good he was.
Charles Barkley won the MVP title during Jordan's prime. Who else could do that ?
Sir Charles Should've At Least Gotten 2 Rings
Nope
If he went to Portland he would have made them better and possibly won multiple championships.
This wasn't the ginyu force era bro, everyone wasn't formulating super teams back then, if he were to join a great team like sonics/pistons/blazers etc & leave the Suns he would be considered pussy amongst his NBA comrades, he was already top ten in the league at that time, only Rodman quality like players were deemed OK to be on great teams cuz he was an offensive liability & he was a hothead..not too many teams wanted him anyway that's why Phil Jackson would let him party everyday to keep him happy
Sir Charles was a Trully Mad Man back then!!
Barkley was a beast he was always one of my favorite players. I have like 100 now but I used to only have like 20 or 30 in the pros and another bunch in college which are now retired. That means I’m old🤔🥵😱🎂🥰👀
Damn man, this quality is on point!
Barkley the 3rd best PF in the history of the game.💯
I can only pick Duncan and Garnett over him and that's only because they both were great on defense as well as offense but if were talking just offense Barkley best PF ever.💯✌
Barkley is why I started playing b ball..
1:52 Epic moment of the NBA history...
This video is so neat for such an old game !
Charles is all time great I love to watch him play to this very day he made it interesting and worth while
Sir Charles was a beast!
Barkley was great man lol he's so underrated now smh
That play at 7:08 was just pure power.
1:28 I love the Boston influence from Ainge. Bird and Dennis Johnson used to run that play all the time. Love it!!
been watching old celtics games lately and was like "whaaat danny ainge took the suns to the finals too?" on that play
One of the most powerful pound for pound ,,,
Also kJ , the quickest first steps ever , that dude didn’t need to dribble , just picked a direction and left you in the dust
You could argue that Chuck’s Suns team was the best of the bunch to face MJ and the Bulls in the Finals. Personally I think better coaching for Phoenix or less HOF coaching for the Bulls and Suns probably win this series.
Coaching wasn't the problem. Jordan was the difference.
No Robin to Barkley's Batman 💯
KJ
great quality for a 1993 game, i was 5 years old lol.
Phoenix should have won the series... That would be the biggest stain on jordans career.. Being 3:1 up and losing game 5 at home... But Paxon saved his ass..
One of the best NBA Finals ever played
Still good to watch that was a good suns team 2023 yup i watched it again
Sir charles unbelievable
Sir Charles gave it everything he had but he was born in the right place but the wrong time
Everyone comparing Zion Williamson to this Charles is on point, a player with this dominance in the paint is needed in the nba again it’s become to much of a soft game...this game is rough af and I think if Zion brings this back...he will take the nba by storm...everyone says he needs a jump shot but no one is this dominant in the paint anymore even the “bigs” in the nba are not...looks like identical to his game and if he does this in the league today...it will be unstoppable given all the soft bigs that are prevalent today.
The NBA felt so authentic . Wth happened to our leauge. I use to LOVE watching these games. Now I have to listen to Draymond Green talk trash. It all feels narrated. Like a script teams are given before games. I dont need proof. I know when a game is scripted. I feel it in my bones because when it wasnt or was there was a STILL a element, a atom, a love, now its like watching talented magicians doing magic with the basketball like the Harlem globe trotters. The NBA has been a circus the pass 20 years. The individual players that understood that like the 1996 draft class kept it entertataining.
I just feel bad for Charles...he put up such great games that season, but ran into this undeniable monster called the Bulls.
MVP of the year, game winner against San Antonio, then a 7th game in the WCF against Seattle with 44/24 (which he calls the best game of his life) and this triple double game...just got overshadowed by MJ's 41.0 ppg in the Finals.
He would have a chance the following two years, but Phoenix seemed to be the wrong place to be for winning a ring.
Charles was better then Jordan overall that year MVP and also better shooting percentage but lack the team and couch as Chicago hade
Barkley was amazing, but MJ had just about the most amazing NBA finals series of all time against him... there is no shame in losing to the best
@@saturndual32 against his backcourt* Charles wasn't responsible for Jordan. Man played 1v5 against the 1st or 2nd best team EVER in professional basketball. Shit was doomed from the start.
Chuck had some serious game
Yep
I was really going for Charles in this series.
This is how broadcast quality was back then. All that grainy footage that you see in other vids is just the tape getting worn out over time. It doesn't take long, either, a few years maybe. This here is how it was broadcasted. I tell my kids that all the time: we did have color tv lol. It was the same thing, just not digital. And I ain't never take a picture with a black and white camera but more and more I see people sharing 90s footage in black and white lol. Like, where the hell did you get that?!?! Just keep that in mind. Eventually the media will turn today's era black and white too. It's a little trick historically used to divide generations.
In terms of the game, Charles was great, but believe it or not this was the one where MJ dropped 55 (!). It's good to see everyone in their prime here. Those were good days. Peace.
Barkley was an amazing player. The list of Hall of Fame players that didn't get a ring because of Jordan is incredible.
Crisp quality 👌🏽
Chuck had a big game, but MJ was just from another planet
4:03 Charles started his back down from the 3pt line 5:39 another long backdown. 5:03 Barkley belly bumps pippen. He played his ars off in this game
I agree when Charles said the game of basketball has gotten soft nowadays
Draymond green got the nerve to say Barkley couldn't hold him! 😏😏😏😏 he would get annihilated!!
Draymond green needs to STFU LOL GHEESH
BARKLEY IS SOOOOO UNDERRATED
This is back when stats actually counted for something
Great video quality, thank you!
C'mon, the matter of rings has nothing to deal with how naturaly skillful and out standing Chuck was in His prime. To be able to pick as outstanding all star without even having a ring, in 90's is such a great milestone a legend could have. Men, I better choose having no ring but will remain as rated than having a couple of ring without even being noticed or joining a team for it to have one.
I never understood why this Man was ever on the NBA2K video game!🤔
Great upload! The quality is superb 👌
Cool shoes sir Charles
damn 720p60
Barkley was a beast,so smart and strong, by the way, great fucking quality video,love it👍
The most skilled PF of all time.
Man, what a BEAST Barkley was. It's a damn shame this man didn't win a ring.
