Barkley was also 250+ lbs :russ: . Now,I need you to find me ONE (just one) athlete in basketball history with the speed of Westbrook, Wall, or Rose that was 250+

Wait a minute :whoa:

I never said Barkley was fast as those guys :hubie:

I said he WASNT that fast

And Barkley ain’t no bigger of an athletic or physical marvel than someone like Anthony mason :youngsabo:

Or Zion if we want a modern day comparison….. but Zion can obviously “jump out the gym”

I’m pretty sure Barkley wasn’t THAT athletic but probably had a 7 foot wingspan so he played more like 6’8

Yea but I’m not saying he’s more athletic than the average NBA freak athlete (like Zion for example). But what makes him an anomaly and separates him from others is his wingspan which is crazy long for a 6’4 player

Combine that with his athleticism and he can play much bigger than his height.

But Barkley was never “jumping out the gym”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen his head at the rim.

And he wasn’t faster than John Wall, Rose, Westbrook etc….

According to the posters in this thread Barkley is the same height as the guards listed so why not?
