Charles Barkley’s hops though

[Crude]

Charles was a dynamic athlete especially in his earlier years with the Sixers.

Like the homie above said he was kinda the early prototype for those undersized forwards that would come later like Larry Johnson and now Zion.

People forget because he's kinda comedy relief now, but outside of Duncan and Karl Malone he's arguably right up there with any other of those other power forwards ever.

Imagine if he stayed in the gym hitting the weights or had a routine and year round training like current athletes. Chuck was that dude.

Picture is gorgeous and Barkley was certainly a great athlete, but the angles are mad deceptive too. His head is still a long ways below the rim.

Chuck was King of the chase down block, to

Nah, they think it started with Lebron. Poor kids who don’t really follow the game.

He was definitely gettin up

But was a better player. When u consider kevin Johnson is the best player chuck played with in his prime, its a miracle he was as successful as he was.

I'd say he was more talented as a 76ers, but a better player in Phoenix...if that makes sense.

He was good, but come on. He wasn't a top 50 or even 100player of all time

Yep

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

He’s fat and an idiot now but Round Mound Chuck was an all time great athlete

 

[Supa]

Idk what it is but pictures from 90s look so great, they cant capture pics like that anymore

Maybe it's because things are digital now.

You can literally pull up any pic of MJ on the court in that era and it looks iconic

He had a couple of seasons where he had an argument for best PG in the league. He and Zeke are like the only 22+ & 12apg in history, multiple times. He was also 50% shooter. Carrying Phx to the playoffs before Chuck. He has more All-NBA selections than All-Star games. If you think CP3 is great, you should think KJ is great. There's very few differences in their games.

I don't think Kevin Johnson was ever better than Zeke. And he definitely didn't help Chuck the way he needed. Point was Kevin Johnson was the best player Barkley played with. U gone need a 3rd star to really win.

I don't think KJ was even better than GP.
