Funny thing about Chuck is he hates analytics yet they have him ranked as like a Top 5ish player of all time.

The Eye test and ringz rankings he favors have him outside the Top 20.

He was a monster. I bet 85% of the dudes on this forum didn’t know the extent to how dominant Chuck was. A 6’6 guy putting up 28/13 on 57% is some unicorn shyt

The crazy thing is Chuck is really like 6’4. No way in hell is he 6’6”.

Most people know Barkley was a great player back in the day. But how many knew he was that good? You ever see Chuck’s stats? shyt is mind blowing.

Top 5 puts him in the elite of the elite and I doubt most people realize that

If your over 30 you should know how good barkley is. Come on bruh

Hes still the biggest outlier Ive ever seen in sports.

Chuck used to out work them lazy 4s of the 80s and 90s

His build was perfect for his playstyle. The proto-Zion

Yup. He could post up and turn into a stretch 4. I remember one game Oakley was giving him problems in the post then Chuck started to force him to defend him face up. Chuck was wrecking Oakley’s heavy footed ass so much that Oak started getting frustrated and had two quick intentional fouls called on him and thrown out the game

Top three PF ever.

Top three PF ever.

And he's an Auburn breh

 

[Guess Who]

You don’t look at Barkley and think freak athlete but dude was routinely the most athletic guy on the court. He never got enough credit for his end to end speed and quickness.

I loved Barkley, second favourite player during my youth, behind Hakeem

 

[Majestyx]

of course... and you aint even got no video...

 

[Hey_zeus]

Yeah Barkley was a force of nature. Like Shaq, Wilt, Bron. He's in that class. When in shape and motivated he could get whatever he wanted against whomever. Love the clips of him in Philly grabbing a board and going coast 2 coast to yam in 7 secs.
