- Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley put on a show at The Spectrum. Jordan scores 52 (24/29 FG!!!!), while Sir Charles puts up 42 points (18/25 FG!!!!). Not like these days when some of these stars score 30 by attempting 30 shots. November 16, 1988.
Barkley also had 16 rebounds in this game, 11 of them were offensive!!! Beast
24/29 FG thats better than some free throw numbers!
The 2 best players of their era.....Barkley was the most unstoppable pf I've ever seen!!!!!!!! And at 6'5 MAYBE..........just the best pf of all time!!!!
I'll also take a prime barkley over any pf in their peak offensifely.. But I do think garnett did better devensifely..
Career and personality wise, timmy is the best..
Tim just always had an amazing cast beside him. I pick Barkley anyday over him
If Barkley and Jordan had ever created one of these "super teams" like today, they would have won 10 straight titles.
I know Jordan was the man, but Barkley was easily the second best player in the L from 89 to 93 or 94. Tremendous talent that will never be duplicated. No more 6'5" PFs that DOMINATE and can jump out of the gym like that. Plays 7-2, but looks 6-4.

I don’t think that’s true. Magic won the MVP in 89 and 90. In 89 he had 17 triple doubles. That’s insane. I don’t see how anyone can say Barkley was easily better than him.
Great game!!! Jordan 24/29 FG was awesome, and Barkley could score more than 42 if he had not got rest by the rest of 4th quarter (he scored the 42th point at 9:13 in the 4th quarter), due to the advantage of 76'ers in the game.
Great memories! I was 16 years old. I was at this game with my father and brother. After the game we stood outside the Spectrum and got autographs from Mo Cheeks and Dr. J. Julius had just retired the year before but attended this game. It was a thrill meeting my childhood sports hero. During this era, the NBA was truly at its peak. Jordan and Barkley were unstoppable back then. It was a great time to be a fan!
Damn I was like a decade away from being born
how about the other guy featured in this video, who scored 42 on 18 FGM. barkley led the league in true shooting percentage for 4 years in a row and posted a TS% over .600 7 times. in those years he was dropping 25 ppg and was among the league leaders in both offensive and total rebounds. it wasn't all putbacks. he had a solid jumper and could beat you off the dribble or running fast breaks in transition. good defender, great passer.
his ten best years could easily be top 3 all time
Malone, Duncan, etc. Don't touch peak Charles Barkley on offense.
barry jb - exactly. In his prime, he was the best offensive PF in history. So much revisionist history today and kids think Chuck was nobody because he didn't win a championship. Meanwhile, he was perhaps the second best offensive player in the NBA next to MJ for at least a few years in the early 90's. Chuck's mistake was playing in the NBA during the MJ era and this is true for so many superstars who were robbed of a championship because of MJ. And make no mistake, Chuck was great in the big moments. He played better in the playoffs.
Facts agreed
@@boogieloo1831 exactly
Yup.
Barkley was the most offensively gifted 4 I've ever seen.
When he was in Phoenix, he would basically play a point-power forward. There was no one who could guard him.
And his ability to anticipate rebounds was matched only by Dennis Rodman.
As overall players Barkley is a better rebounder, passer, scorer, field goal scorer and on ball defender. Something y’all all need to think about when putting Timmy n malone above him overall
Agree! Basically he is the best PF or all time at his prime period. ;)
Yup
Brings a tear to my eyes watching this basketball, the best happend during this era. Guys nowadays couldn't go up against superstars like MJ, Barkley, Ewing, Magic, Bird, etc...
The GOAT SG and The GOAT PF
A lot of HOFs during the MJ era were underrated as most didnt get a ring until MJ was retired. I mean look at Olajuwon. One of the all time great centers in the history of the game and didnt get a ring until MJ retired. Same with D Robinson & Tim Duncan. Malone Stockton. The list of ringless HOFs because of MJ is amazing. Then to do what he did at age 38-40 on the Wizards vs this new generation is just jaw dropping. 50pts at age 40?! Gamers would scream HACKS!!!!
Magic had something to do with that for the 80's
Barkley killed Horace Grant in this game!
👇
Charles Barkley was cold bruh 🥶
Even the 76ers stadium commentator was saying Michael air Jordan
that's how a PF and a SG should play
Ed Nealy, Will Purdue, Dave Corzine, Brad Sellers......all legends.
barkley is a true HOF
they say Michael Air Jordan for Michael on the road??
The last time Kobe shot 24/29 was in his DREAMS!!!
20/26 vs the rockets...
MJ is the GOAT, no arguments at all about. FACTS 👑👑 Barkley is a GOAT also.👑👑👑
mj is still the gold standard for athleticism in my opinion too, kinda like deion sanders in football. but what i was alluding too was, just look at when he scored 63 on boston, there was no rueben patterson, or bruce bowen, mario elie, somebody who would at least be in the same frame as him when he scored. it was like he was kicking ass down at the ymca. i haven't seen a player as agile as mj at 6'6'' but there have been several that have been as explosive
Michael Air Jordan!!! I love it! and that’s an away game wow! The announcer sounded the same for both teams 🤪
Is this real? MJ 52pts on 24 of 29 shooting? Other than a center like Wilt I can't imagine a single other player in the history touching that kind of efficiency.
at 6'6, number 23 , Michael "AIR" Jordan....
Peak Barkley just needed a teammmate to be champs. If somehow Iverson were in his prime they would be a real force.
A perfect illustration of how individual scoring does not make your team win no matter how efficient you are. Basketball is a team game.
True
Also in the backcourt, his 5th Season from North Carolina, At 6’6 #23 Michael “Air” Jordan
And They Said Lebron with 29pts in 67% shooting something that never been done in the NBA history (Nick Wrong)
MJ is beastly!!! 24/29 shooting??!! That's unheard of in today's game. Now they're shooting 30 or more shots
JayE lol and only hitting 10
1993 Finals Game 4 was better duel.
Jordan 55/8/4
Barkley 32/12/10
MJ is just such a great basketball player, it's amazing. This guy has scored so many poitns in less than 1qtr just to come back and carry his team to a win or near come back win. Talking about 19pts in 6mins. 15 pts in 5mins, 22 points in a qrtr, etc. And some of those games were playoff games, not reg season games vs weak defenses. Imagine if MJ actually went full throttle for an entire game. Then ridic fg%s with some even near 90% in field goals. How man HOFs didnt get a ring cus of this guy?!
For me i jus shows how bad the chicago bulls as a team were back then so it was clearly not mjs fault that they didnt make it far in the playoffs
The team was terrible and that's what most are not reporting today when they talk about MJ not advancing. He carried them to the Eastern Conference Finals and lost to a better Pistons team.
@ 8:39. Chucks block to his buddy looks like all ball to me. :)
I would actually love to see Barkley and Jordan guard each other, that would be intense.
Well. They simply can't guard each other. At his prime Chuck wasn't joking about not one player can guard him. And MJ...needless to say
10:00 one of the most amazing move i've ever seen, thanks MJ!
They have, Jordan dunked on him, its in the Jordan Come Fly with me video.
Barkley still says Jordan was super strong for his size.
Ron Artest says 40yr old Jordan was as strong as Lebron.
THE BEAST SIR CHARLES #34
Both Barkley and Jordan shot better than Kobe did in his 81 point game. And both against much more worthy opponents than the shitty Raptors...
I want to know how many rebounds Charles had
16 (and season high 11 offensive rebounds)
Alonzo Mourning damn Chuck
Loved the sixers then and now
It's Hersey Hawkins, not Hershey Hawkins.
There are only two players who can play in these two teams that year. Malone and Erving had left and Pippen wasn't in yet. But still we were seeing exciting ball.
Jordan with 82.3% shooting? Holy
Gminski is Chuck's mate
Not really,it's on document that he was actually 6'4,he was just listed at 6'6 in his shoes,for example,A.I.was listed at 6'0,but was actually closer to 5'10-'5'11.
Who was the public address announcer for the Philadelphia 76ers during most of Charles Barkley's time with the Sixers? He likely announced All-Star players from other teams like they played for the hometown 76ers; not only Michael "Air" Jordan.
Thank you for being a real fan ~!
So cute when the commentators call Jordan’s 16 footers “loongg jumpers” lol. Times have definitely changed
Barkley
Serious? It's Michael Jordan you are talking about. Simply the best ever!
Anybody here from the story Chuck told on All the Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson
THIS.WAS.TRUE.PROFESSIONAL.BASKETBALL....AT IT'S FINEST!!!
they are very good basketball players...
7 dunks in this game!
Agreed,i think they should just show their height in their shoes,cause like you said,they're not playing bare footed.
all i ever hear about is the tough defense of the late 80's and 90's and how players from today couldn't handle it. jordan isn't getting hit every time he enters the lane like lebron or others do at least in this video
@2010raquan which game? not bad.
Imagine being as great as Jordan but your team is down 20 points all damn game
Barkley getting easy points on offensive rebounds whereas MJ gets some fast break freebies.
Did anybody notice Maurice Cheeks braking dude ankles?
Yeah,i heard that he was/is actually 6'4,just listed 6'6.
why were the lights still on for the home intros?
yeah michael was a very unselfish player. he scored alot but did not take many bad shots unlike todays nba players who have a lot more isolations so the more bad shots are to be expected
I think Jordan's athleticism is still unmatched, his explosiveness is not matched even with bigger muscles in today's game. It is hard to train explosiveness.
People get wet when LBJ has 60% shooting - and they are nearly all on lay ups with weak defence! MJ is a damn beast!!!
u have to admit tho, there are some players out there that come to play the game like cp3 or kobe. but like u said, nba back then was more about the game
bird > lebron
That has nothing to do with the vireo
@tkcwu i believe it was against the rockets. look it up
What a disappointment that Sir Charles is not in 2k((((
The 80 and 90 teams way better than today teams today teams could not win a game against old school it's a fact
Same for Jordan.
I don't see scottie playin in this game
yeah but like most bball player he wasnt playing bare footed. most if not all heights should be measured with shoes on.
Well the problem is the weather. When it's too cold or too humid, my grandma's knees are hurtung and she can't post too well or jump too high. I've told her she should've quit basketball 50 years ago but she still thinks she can play for the NY Knicks and get them a championship.
Where's the defense?
Horace grant was thin at this time he was bigger during the first 3 peat
If the referees were like they are today, Mike would go to the line 25 times. That's how KD goes over 40...
@LamarMatic Lol... stop it, the show part about the game is awesome. Weird thing to hate on really....brings something extra to the game.
thats how you play guard and forward !
wouldnt you like play them ?
If this was 90s Jordan this team would have been chewed out at half
@LamarMatic so true
Yea just like in today's game Jordan would of got a tech at 2:09 for "touching the ball after it goes through the net" what kind of bs is that?
Actually Barkley was/is 6'4.
Actually he was/is 6'6
Real Great Players don`t need to shoot 30 field goal attempts to score 30. Thats the difference between good players or all stars to Super Stars
The difference between Human And Alien XD lolzzz
no it wouldnt. Barkley would get killed by jordan on the offensive end because as barkley said it he's not a defensive player. I think jordan would get murdered down in the post if he had to guard sir charles, however he had a better chance than charles
Just imagine MJ did not develop 3 point shooting he is more of a medium range shooter. If he developed 3 point shooting no one will be closer to Michael.
After game 1 of the '92 Finals where he made six 3-pointers in a half, MJ said that he didn't want to excel at long distance shooting b/c he found himself just waiting outside for the ball. He preferred to look for high percentage shots near the basket and it worked very well for his efficiency.
gary bush Up until '91, MJ went through several experimentations w/ his game. '85 was all about adjusting to the pros. '86 was a setback due to his broken foot. '87 was his offensive peak w/ 37.1 ppg. '88 was his defensive peak w/ 3.2 spg & 1.6 bpg. '89 was his triple-double peak w/ 8 rpg & 8 apg (even LeBron hasn't reached those combination of numbers yet). And '90 was when he incorporated the long range w/ 3 attempts per game on .376 shooting from behind the arc (he barely attempted one a game in the seasons before that). By comparison, Kobe shot a higher percentage than that only once w/ 4 attempts per game on .383 shooting (MJ did peak in '96 on .427 shooting, but that was one of the few years when the arc was shortened). In other words, he could've been any kind of player he wanted to be. But once he found the winning recipe, he stuck w/ that one style the rest of the way to win championships. Though it's critical to note that MJ's career averages do increase in the playoffs.
gary bush It was mostly his Wizards years that dropped his career numbers.
gary bush Well, 17-18 games are minimal compared to the full seasons w/ the Wizards. What's really a bummer was his missing season in '94.
***** thank you these are very interesting figures to know about.
Jordan has much better control on his explosiveness tho
I'm a huge Lebron fan also buddy but no he hasn't done this sort of thing yet (a bit close). Maybe in the future (no pun intended).
🔥🔥🔥🔥🏀
@Emmanuel Stalling there body mature fast which is worth it in my opinion i wouldent mind losing my hair if i can be 6'8 and have an athletic body have u seen mjs and lebrons hands there huge they can catch a ball with one hand easly
Look at the defense (or lack thereof). Look at how he jogged on fast breaks and was still much faster than everyone else. That's why no one today can do this. The league is too good now.
thats why you see the bulls getting stomped.
Dude provide the footage. We would like to see it. Especially the one lebron is better than Jordan on D. :-)
When u r 24/29 from the field, theres nothing wrong being a ball hog..
Let me guess your a LeBron fan?
lol the game hasn't changed that much... People haven't evolved much in 20 years, believe it or not... The talent pool is more vast, but let's not overdue it..
