    Well, there's really no player who blamed their teammates on air. It's the viewers and these "sports analysts" who put words on the players' mouth. For all these people who say LeBron blamed his teammates, show me a video of him saying that to the media. None. You might see him getting frustrated, walking of, yelling, but all other players do so. MJ and Kobe did so as well as other superstar players.

    @@afa1216 I think people misunderstand blaming teammates for blaming management. When they say especially back in the day they didn't have help or they needed more help that falls on management to make the right trades and draft picks to get them that help. More and more today that isn't the case as players are actively seeking out that help like LeBron going around from team to team. I mean at this point saying you don't have help when you go from team to team...makes little sense because you chose that team and by extension that management.

To come insanely close to beating the bulls. Barkley deserves so much more respect than he gets. He’s a top 10 player ever.

Seeing Chuck after Jordan hit that final shot, I could see his state of mind and emotion that he is speaking of here. It was heartbreaking. He truly looked in shock and demoralized by Jordan.

There aren't any really like him in all sports, not just the NBA. I also love how open he is on his career, the ups and downs. When he speaks on the past he talks how it was in the moment, he doesn't rewrite it like so many do. I know some people love Shaq on TNT but he doesn't even come near Chuck in terms of quality. It'll be sad when Chuck retires from TNT.

It still doesn't take away from him being one of the greatest, but I'm also sure if he had taken better care of himself after 93' and with Jordan out he could have got past the Rockets one of those next two years. The problem was Jordan and Olajuwon both took better care of their bodies and were hit the most important shots of their careers where Chuck didn't. The one thing Charles did do that most NBA players will never do is win an Olympic Gold Medal!

    Jordan had 41ppg in the finals that year, IN THE 90s. Almost nothing you can do about that. Charles is unfortunate in that the NBA format of franchise players and salary caps mean top tier players are often left without a ring if they end up with trash on their team, or they happen to be playing at the same time as a generational talent and/or super team. It’s the reason so many greats don’t have a ring, yet random no names for the Celtics have like 5-6.

    What really sucks for Charles Barkley is that he never got a second chance in the NBA Finals--unlike Ewing, Malone and Stockton who each never won a championship but made it to the Finals multiple times. I suppose it sucks to lose in the Finals more than once than just once. But in Charles's case, knowing that he never made it back to the Finals in his career as a NBA player was a one-and-done deal on his end. Plus, after leading your team to the best record in the league, having homecourt advantage throughout the entire playoffs, being the league's Most Valuable Player, but only to lose it all in six games in the Finals and never win once on your homecourt during that entire series will forever hurt like hell. But never winning a championship will never ever tarnish Charles's legacy. He's a great player and human being on and off the court.

    Charles also played with an elbow so hurt, that they had to drain fluids from it during the finals. Had a monster game (42 points) in Game 2, and couldn't replicate that scoring since hurting the elbow (and did score 35 one game). But I've never ONCE heard it as an excuse from Chuck. It was Horace Grant himself that said it (when asked who was the toughest he's guarded). What a great man, Me. Barkley.

But listening to Charles be candid and raw and with Shaq sitting there, you wonder why that guy doesn't take a little more decorum about Chuck when always goes to the "Google my Rings" argument man. Like that shit hurt then in 1993 and I was at home...Chuck lived that. Another thing about that night, I passed up the chance to go see Jurassic Park cause I wanted to stay and watch the Suns get a win and force a game 7. And in all honesty I actually thought the Bulls were done cause Phoenix had all the momentum. If anyone was around that era, you know how hard it was to win in Chicago, let alone take 2 outta 3.
