I saw Barkley once in an exhibition game in Munich, Germany against a good German team. It was borderline funny how he had his way with them. He positioned himself at the low block and methodically worked his way to the rim. Again and again and again. There was absolutely nothing the defence could do to stop him.

Watch the old dream team videos Barkley was the star player over all the hall of Famers. I remember when he was at Auburn, he almost single handedly dismantled a UK team that had 5 starters that played in the NBA including two 7 footers he out rebounded.

You’re forgetting maybe the most intriguing part of his game; he was able to run the fast break after a board and either score or make the pass after collapsing the D. Today, a guy like Draymond Green gets a lot of credit for doing that, but Barkley was maybe the best big ever in this respect, pushing the ball up after a re and reading the D.

You left out a few key points..i thought you would mention his all star appearances and the fact that barkley led the 1992 olympic dream team in points with 18ppg, a team that had jordan, david robinson, stockton, malone, bird, johnson ect.

Teams actually had true centers and true power forwards!

He was maybe 6'5" or so and look at the era. I was watching the games then and he was a force of nature. He just scored no matter what you did to guard him. For him to be that efficient in the era of dominant centers and forwards in the 80's and 90's is amazing.

The no rings thing is ridiculous considering most good, great and other HOFers in his era didn't have rings bc of dominant franchices that were stacked -- mainly the 90s Jordan Bulls.

The Lakers weren't really a factor after the very early 90s when they went to war with the Pistons (who you left out), and again in the late 90s with the additions of Shaq and Kobe (meaning that Barkley's 90s time with the Suns, they weren't a problem for him -- the Bulls andRockets were). The Lakers were an 80s powerhouse, so them and the Celtics were an issue when he was with the Sixers, as was the poor management of the Sixers when their powerhouse team got old and was broken up. The Knicks were very good in the 90s and they didn't even win a title - same with the Sonics. Otherwise, I agree.

I clearly remember the “Dream Team” US of A olympic team back in the 1990’s. Chuck did not start, but he was truly the only unstoppable player on the team that summer in a rotation nearly completely full of future American basketball hall of famers. You mentioned team defense rightly so. Defensive stops and up-tempo offense translate to easier offense. Barkley was a beast. He played great without other great defenders in his career, but during that olympics he showed he was one of the best ever with a team full of “fantasy” players.

Appreciate the upload!! Great Player. One of my favorite players of all-time. His Jersey is hard to find in stores. We will probably never see another 6'4'' '6'5'' basketball player lead the league in rebounds per game.

5:05 "sixers were always in bottom half of defensive rating and that was the hole in Barkley's game that never really improved" 6:43 "defensively he also got a bit better but that was mainly a team thing - it's easier to play defence when you're surrounded by better defenders" so which is it, the player or the team that's responsible for defence???? can't have it both ways

@mrgor .........sixers defensive rating is so misleading. I watched sixers since the times of Dr.J etc etc. Their defense was solid against teams they should beat and then " lockdown defense " against teams that had winning records !!! There were not many teams that blew the sixers out . Sixers without charles were not as solid but with charles ....that defense was tough .......just ask Michael Jordan ??? especially when derek smith used to play !!

Barkley was a BEAST. Dude put up insane numbers in his prime. His scoring and rebounding numbers in particular were crazy. In 1993 he was arguably the best player on the planet. Only MJ was arguably better that year.

I saw him numerous times at The Palace growing up when he was in town. In his prime, he was an absolute beast.

Charles was a baller!

Unbelievably good, and now he's great for TV.

don't bother trying to block a Barkley dunk. LOL

If Shaq was 6'4 1/2" like Barkley, he wouldn't be near the player Barkley was, the only reason he gets the edge is because he used his size to dominate.Barkley dominated at his position despite being 4-6 inches shorter than those who guarded him

I live in Europe and back in the 80's, NBA coverage was very weak then. No Internet, no KZread... so all the news from the NBA, I got from a friend of a friend of a....who worked for the national television and so we managed to get some video tapes once in a while. Then, suddenly there was a new channel, that broadcasted one game per week. What a highlight! I remember one day watching a game of the Bulls vs. Sixers (I believe it was 1987) and of course, I was very excited to see a game of Michael Jordan. But on the other team, there was this man, that dominated the paint all over. It was incredible how powerful and how much heart he put in his game. I think he got over 20 Rebounds. As great as Michael Jordan was, I had never seen before such a power! That was the day, I became a fan of Sir Charles.

Great vid. Barkley's '93 mvp season was one of the most memorable mvp seasons

Barkley was one of the best ever at his position and he is kind of a running joke as not being good because of how much Shaq has to say about him. They have a rivalry and go at each other and since shaq tends to be the more popular individual when he says Barkley wasn't good and that " he shouldn't even be a hall of famer", the young generation believes that whole-heartedly. But statistically he was crazy good and considering his height at his position.

No. Chuck wasn't perfect. Early (at Philly), late in his career with Houston, he wasn't always in the greatest of shape. Young Charles was hot headed and feuded with officials, got into fights and some say he wasn't quite as dedicated as he should've been. Nonetheless, he improved on some of those issues (esp at Phoenix) and had a solid all around game. Like Malone, he became a very good passer as his career progressed, was always a bull on the boards and got you 25 ppg as well. Not a lot of those guys around! Not many at all.

Charles in his prime was fun to watch, but you're right he took too many 3's! Especially with Phoenix.

27% is not too terrible for that time if he's taking them in the right situations. Especially if on the flip side he's leading the league in 2pt% and shot decently from the free throw. But, I never got to see full live games, so I don't doubt he started to settle too often once his athleticism went.

love the effort of making a video about Charles as a player! He gets disrespected way too much in media these days as an all time great player who proved himself in two of the most competitive as well as coining decades of the NBA. Despite his playing prowess he was also a huge part of forming the NBA's culture as we know it now, nationally and globaly (dream teams top scorer). I think you still leaving some of his strengths out!! While I agree that he has to live with being called not clutch enough since he ultimativley did not win it all he was amazingly clutch during his 92 run to the finals where he hit the game winning J over David Robinson as well as scoring 464 and 24 in game 6 of the WCF!!! Also I think while its true that he was not a dominant defender I think it gets overmentioned over how GREAT of a ballhandler he was at his position and also how skilled of a passer he was! He changed the game with the way he could lead the break with skill and sheer power. He was also super quick while being one of the strongest players in a very physical league! So please do not leave out how skilled he was besides being a power player

He was not turrible !! Got more out of his size and work ethic than just about anyone. The Round Mound of Rebound is still entertaining to listen to.

@@brotherdcp-t710w4 People now remember Duncan too much as an old guy who was a Russell-like leader. They probably weren't around when the guy was younger before the foot injury, dominated both sides of the ball, and was an unstoppable force on offense. I remember the Spurs always passing the ball and playing a team game but when it came down to crunch time, they would go through periods where they simply force-fed Duncan and let him do his thing. Guy was a 20pt scorer on paper but only because he was unselfish, he really had 30ppg ability whenever he wanted to use it. It was like one of those badges on Madden or something, sometimes you just had to turn on "The Big Fundamental" badge and let him go to work.

The way he played the game at 6' 4" in his Sixers days may be the most impressive thing I've ever seen on an NBA court. His game evolved, especially with the Suns and Rockets, and while he was always very good, nothing was quite like the way he physically dominated much bigger guys in his early NBA days.

Great video and once again young generations really don't know how good some players were back in the 80s and 90s, I was and still am a Bulls fan, and I think he was the second best player in the league after MJ and he deserves much more recognition.

Charles was so cool and i watched up to him to get better at my position as a PF Defensive Player. He is really underrated this Days. But back in the 90's he was a Big Star and well known! We still Love you Sir Charles

No dream team feature? He was the best player there...

I use to go to the games here in Phx in the 90’s and he was a comedian playing basketball. Made the game super fun

@7:04 Charles missed that defensive assignment that led to John Paxson nailing that clutch shot to close them out.

Barkley was probably the 2nd greatest player during the 80’s and 90’s other than Jordan and if not for Jordan would be at least a 1 time champion.. people don’t also realize that the suns lost the the eventual champions 3 years in a row.. they could have been back to back to back champions

@Jason Monto Who are you talking to? If it's the OP, it doesn't look like it because you didn't reply directly to his message. If it was you reading the whole thread and replying to me, as it looks because I'm the message directly above yours, then I just explained why they lost. Not sure if it was to take the lead in game six, or to tie it. But, kevin johnson came down near the free throw line, jumped up and shot with Horace Grant coming from the side, and behind, and swiped at his shot. He got all of Kevins left hand. And no call happened at the end of game six. They could've won that game. Then it would be 3 to 3, going into game 7.

Barkley highlights are 50% more entertaining than those of almost any other player. Wild coast to coast dunking rampages? Clutch game winners? Half-court behind the back passes? Blocking shots like a madman? It's all there. One of the old NBA videos I used to own had this clip with the announcer saying, "The 'sucker play' by Barkley. Does it work?......Yes!" as he let the ball roll on the floor for several feet before grabbing at the last minute and driving for a score. He was good enough to make crazy stuff up successfully. Real talent there.

Olojuwan was injured the year Sir Charles joined. Otherwise ‘Round mound of rebound ‘ would have gotten his championship. Charles was so good that year. I still feel grateful that I watched it all.

Barkley wasn't that bad of a defender in terms of blocking shots and getting steals on occasion.

His passion for the game was bar none top 6 in the league with Mike being 1 of course , kobe 2 , iverson 3 , magic /bird 4 , reggie miller 5 and barkley/shaq 6 .
