Charles Barkley is greatest sports anomaly of the last 50 years

[Capitol]

Nah, Rooney has him beat as far as dumpy guys that go crazy

I remember the first time I saw him, I said why is this fat soggy looking Gump on the field. Even in his 20s he had a 40 year old hairline

I wish Zion would reach out to Chuck because he should be dominating the same way. He's even more athletic than Barkley.

It does seem like Zion took his words to heart last season because he got in better shape as the season went along and seems to be coming into this season in the best shape of his NBA career.

 

[Uitomy]

I haven’t watched enough soccer to know. But I can see you saying that considering I saw a recent picture of him. Somewhere in that fat body must’ve been a dominant player. Could Rooney jump out the gym?

mf could kick the way barkley could dunk that's for sure, that goal he had (for or against idk) dc united was crazy

 

[Remote]

Probably right.

I could list some baseball players...Mariano Rivera and Pedro Martinez were 160 lbs for most of their careers, throwing heat and dominating...similar to some degree with Mookie Betts...but most people struggle to see baseball players as athletic.

 

[NYC Rebel]

True but I still wonder why Draymond is the only one his size with that kind of impact. I guess a lot of it is IQ and attitude too.

Dont get me wrong….hes a great athlete. His lateral movement is unreal. I don’t think people realize how quickly this dude shuffle from side to side. That shyt aint normal. I still think they could have kept him at TE

 

[NYC Rebel]

lol at Zeke’s face when he talked about Charles jumping ability.



Old man and he’s still taken aback. I still am. No one was supposed to do what Charles did at his height and weight.

 

[MJ Truth]

He’s a c00n. But that doesn’t change what he was as an athlete.

Nah, i wasn’t trying to diss him lol. I was giving him props. Barkley has been every bit as unique off the court as he has on the court. That’s the crazy part. He’s on the shortlist of most unique people in sports.

Earl Boykins to me was always be the biggest sports anamoly...

 

[Leonard Washington]

Nate Robinson at a generous 5'9 starting at cornerback at a power 5 school in football as a true freshman while also being good enough to be a first round NBA draft pick

 

[Chrishaune]

Played like a elite big man,
but was not a big man other than weight.

And Charles will tell you he played with guys who were just as athletic as him or taller and didn't make it because of circumstances.
His mother and grandmother kept him grounded, but his father not being around motivated him just as much.

 

[premier58]

Agreed. Everyone ignores the fact that Tim Grover said that Chuck was the best athlete he ever worked with. We all know the illustrious list of great athletes that he trained.

 

[Jaylen Tatum]

That's because You never seen me play.

 

[Rekkapryde]

I’ve been saying this for YEARS. You’ll never see another Charles Barkley in the NBA. Vastly underrated player because of no rings. Underrated athleticism, not too many players were more athletic than him.

Before all this rings nonsense, Chuck was not underrated

 

[Belize King]

I wish Zion would reach out to Chuck because he should be dominating the same way. He's even more athletic than Barkley.

It does seem like Zion took his words to heart last season because he got in better shape as the season went along and seems to be coming into this season in the best shape of his NBA career.

Imagine being “6’6” and can’t collect more than 5 rebounds but playing the front court.

Dude can be a top five player easy. He has to want it for himself. He doesn’t need a jumper to be dominant. I hope he does well this year.

Exactly
