Charles Barkley’s hops though

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.

Yo no diss but you sound super ignorant. Zeke is an ALL TIME GREAT POINT GUARD, there are very few PLAYERS better than Zeke Thomas regardless of position smh.

GP wasn't known for his offensive skill set because he was so damn good on the defensive end. He won a defensive player of the Year award AND held Michael Jordan to 40% from the field in the finals I believe. And the FINALS is where Jordan shows his shyt.

It's a shame KJ isn't in the HALL OF FAME

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

The first guy I seen do a chasedown block is Bobby Jones.

But let’s be real LeBron trademarked the chasedown block. Nobody has done it over 100 times like him.

Historically chasedown blocks are a pretty rare play.

Chuck had very solid hops for a stocky dude but what was most impressive to me was his end to end speed...

 

[ISO]

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.

KJ was nice tho, very few players had running mates as nice as him in the 90’s.

KJ was the Andre Miller of his day. Solid player, but wasn't going to be a 2nd option on a championship team. Imagine if Chuck went to Hou earlier.

Better yet, imagine Chuck in Sea instead of Kemp

Chuck was a dog in his day. We clown him nowadays for the shyt he be saying but you can't deny him on the court. Him going coast to coast

Andre Miller? That's disrespectful. Once again, KJ was leading his Phx teams pre-Barkley to the playoffs, out of 1st round...to the Conf Finals some of those years. I know he only lost to the teams that ultimately made the Finals, but I don't remember if it was Semi or Conf when he faced him. This was KJ & Tom Chambers KJ is a 4-5x 20 & 10 PG. He was as good as a running mate as you could have. KJ was better than Kemp for GP, as better than Buck Williams/Terry Porter for Clyde, anyone Dream had, better than Shaq's 60 W Del Harris teammates. He was a second tier all-star, but still a great player. I know he did stink it up that 93 Playoffs/FInals, but he was also guarding MJ 1/2 that time.

That was Pre-Fat Suns Chuck
Then he got to Houston..
And was full time
Too much Chacos and Chicken Fried Steak

And he was out of shape as a rookie

 

[shopthatwrecks]

That's Sixers Chuck. Suns Chuck was a tad slower, and didn't jump as high

he was lean as hell though...best shape he waas in

Chuck was a dog in his day. We clown him nowadays for the shyt he be saying but you can't deny him on the court. Him going coast to coast

he was sayin the same shyt back then though...chuck never gave a fukk...if fukks by were meant to be givin

Barkley was listed at 6’6, believed to be a little shorter, but could leap.

Him and Rodman were athletic freaks, undersized guys who crashed the boards

 

[duncanthetall]

Indeed. I don’t want to derail the thread because these fools really don’t know how good Barkley was.

He's probably top 3 players I wish I was able to watch in his prime.

 

[premier58]

Tim Grover once said Charles Barkley was the best athlete he ever trained.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

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.

Id still easily take chuck over Malone too

Chuck in the 93 finals was a level Malone could never reach imo

 

[sfgiants]

Barkley was and still is, strong as shyt
I remember that bench press competition he had with Shaq recently. He was pushinweight hella effortlessly. Fat flabby chuck still strong as fukk
