Absolutely. Sixers Chuck was a little ahead of his time - he was listed as a power forward, but we moved him all over the place - he posted, we iso'ed him on the wing, and the top of the key, he lead the break....We really played him everywhere. And, "a savage explosive beast" is a great way to describe what he was. What a frickin' animal
Barkley is truly a unicorn. This little guy runs like a deer, jumps through the roof on two feet from a stand still, has a lightning quick first step, blocks the giant centers, is a world class rebounder and can make passes like a pg. What an awesome player.
“This little guy” he’s 6’6 you fucking idiot. He’s literally taller than over 99% of the male population and you just attempted to refer to him as “a little guy” Or do you live in a delusional bubble where you think 7 foot is the average height of a grown man?
Coach Jim Lynam comes into my work (seafood market in Philly Suburbs) about once a week. I generally don't like to talk his ear off about basketball. He's entitled to a private life and he probably hears it all the time. But I did ask him once, "So who's the best player you've ever seen on the floor as a coach, opponent or on the Sixers?" He replied without hesitation, "Barkley, there was nobody like him I've ever seen before or since. Greatest competitor I was ever around. If only half the young guys today, with their talent, played with hist tenacity... " And seeing these highlights I have to agree.
Prime years were in Philadelphia, no doubt. He was fast, strong, and mean. Let’s also not forget he was the leading scorer, leading workhorse rebounder, and enforcer on a team that was in a bruising eastern conference at the time. My favorite player by far.
Just think how he was 6 ft 6 maybe, and was able to battle at power forward against a league of Giants! A pure aggressive beast!!!! Him and Larry Bird are my alltime favorites!!
Hell yes! Great tribute. Barkley was a beast in his prime. He rebounded and owned the paint like a savage. Love the song choice and editing. Great work! Thanks for this video.
The man without the team to support a championship I couldn't imagine Charles with a top 5 or 6 center for those Sixers years and maybe a pure shooting gaurd
One thing, of many, that impresses me about Barkley is when he immediately takes off after defensive rebounds. No hesitation and just explodes going the other way. Don't see that from many players playing now. But then again, Barkley is a top 5 PF ever.
i dont agree that thats impressive or always the best option , it would all depend on the strengths and weaknesses of your team and those of the team you're playing
@@brianstolt3141 unless that team is way faster than yours and contests your fast break, then its better to set up plays if it means you'll score more consistently.
@@speakerz74 he was a genetic freak extremely explosive and able to dribble or pass on the break so your wrong I saw him play in person the explosion was like a rhino that's IMPRESSIVE
A beast unleashed on the basketball court. Forget about Lebron, 76rs Barkley is the most powerful driving to the hoop in the history of the NBA. A shame most remember Charles only from his Suns days, with his bad back. So thanks Crunchysopa52, for making such as awesome video to show those people what an athletic freak Charles was.
Barkley was a beast in Philly. Too bad the management didn't have the sense enough to put some great players around him. The same thing happened during Iverson's best years in Philly. One superstar surrounded by scrubbs!!!
Management tried harder w/AI to put guys around him...AI was definitely harder to play with than Chuck was....Management REALLY failed Chuck. Made maybe the worst trade in modern sports with in the Moses Malone trade that set the franchise back a decade, and then after that brought in menial guys at best. Also didn't listen to Andrew Toney & was terrible addressing his foot problems. Sixers management was absolutely brutal then
Now this was that real B.Ball that brutal no crying he fouled me crap this is basketball baby I'm a die hard Knicks fan Ewing era and this man right hear Sir Charles is still one of my basketball idols he was such a dominating player never will be duplicated no no no can't duplicate this man
Such a beast, an athletic freak with lots of skill. Amazing the mobility he had for 6'6'', 270 lbs. player, with a 38'' vertical also. Just a freight train on his way to the basket. Great job!
That is athletically peak Charles. A monster. And his passing skill and ball handling is under rated. He was small so in his early years he was a guard. He can be a "Power Guard" 😂
I like NBA basketball player Charles Barkley of Philadelphia Sixers. Charles should've stayed with Philadelphia. I like Charles Philadelphia teammates Hersey Hawkins, Maurice Cheeks, Julius Erving. Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Clyde Drexler, Shawn Kemp, Patrick Ewing, Earvin Johnson, Lebron James, Isiah Thomas are my favorite NBA basketball players.
For you kids out there who think that Barkley analyst guy is just some fat old man...in his prime he was badder than anyone playing today. Supreme scorer and rebounder.
Chuck was like the basketball version of Mike Tyson in the 80s.
The coast 2 coast in 5 dribbles with a 2 hand jam is straight savage🔥🔥🔥
This was prime Chuck IMO. His Phoenix Suns days, he was more of a low post player. His 76ers days was a true savage explosive beast.
N0 D0ubt.
He was a monsta

before donut era chuck
He was a damn freight train
wish i grew up with this type of nba
Running full court, dribbling behind the back and then slamming it in. That was a treat to watch.

1:31 has to be one of the most savage coast to coast plays.
"Old players were slow and non athletic"
That's the play I envision whenever I think of Barkley. He had a motor for sure!!
I was going to write the same thing. It was awesome.
@@Metalheart-sg5jx Lol right

Song comes on and I feel like I'm about to watch a WWF The Federation era video.
It's almost easy to forget that he was a damn living tornado in his Philly years. He was great in Phoenix, but nothing compares to his time as a 6er
Prime years were in Philadelphia, no doubt. He was fast, strong, and mean. Let’s also not forget he was the leading scorer, leading workhorse rebounder, and enforcer on a team that was in a bruising eastern conference at the time. My favorite player by far.

You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed + I appreciate that!
Yes. Keep up the great work.
Those freight train fast breaks, my god!
I loved his big one handed, 2 foot plant Tomohawk Dunks lol 😂😂. Sheer Brute Force .
Damn look at Chuck go
Barkley was a bad man. Don't let the fat jokes mislead you.
Most notably he was the leading scorer on a dream team w Jordan pippen magic and bird that says a lot about how good he really was beast a man w it
Thank u
The man without the team to support a championship I couldn't imagine Charles with a top 5 or 6 center for those Sixers years and maybe a pure shooting gaurd
When Chuck ran the length of the court during his prime it always ended in a dunk
One thing, of many, that impresses me about Barkley is when he immediately takes off after defensive rebounds. No hesitation and just explodes going the other way. Don't see that from many players playing now. But then again, Barkley is a top 5 PF ever.
i dont agree that thats impressive or always the best option , it would all depend on the strengths and weaknesses of your team and those of the team you're playing
@@speakerz74 - Well, Im speaking of Barkley individually. And trying to score before a team sets up 5 guys on defense is always a good option.
@@brianstolt3141 unless that team is way faster than yours and contests your fast break, then its better to set up plays if it means you'll score more consistently.
Giannis is probably the only modern day big player I can think of that takes off like that.

You chose the perfect song for this compilation.

When i was a kid i remember the opening NBA highlights had a Sixers Barkley running coast to coast and absolutely destroying the defence and dunking
Hard to believe this is the same guy as that on Inside the NBA
Sir Charles was such a beast.
Favourite player to watch during the 90's
That coast to coast jam at minute 1:30 was epic.
My favorite Barkley highlight ever.
Now this was that real B.Ball that brutal no crying he fouled me crap this is basketball baby I'm a die hard Knicks fan Ewing era and this man right hear Sir Charles is still one of my basketball idols he was such a dominating player never will be duplicated no no no can't duplicate this man
Shouldn't worship idols
@@alvinmoneyberg887 pay your respects where its due
SIR CHARLES!
MY FAVOURITE PLAYER
CRAZY AND PERFECT!
How many rings he got?
@@markcabezas8801 IF SIR WENT TO HOUSTON EARLIER HE MIGHT HAVE HAD RINGS
@@markcabezas8801 none, so what? neither do AI, Malone or Nash.
Such a beast, an athletic freak with lots of skill. Amazing the mobility he had for 6'6'', 270 lbs. player, with a 38'' vertical also. Just a freight train on his way to the basket.
Great job!
He was listed at 6'6'' but was actually 6' 4 1/2''.
Steve Rakes nah don’t think so
Your telling me he’s the same Heights as Russell Westbrook and is shorter than James harden?
He’s 6’4 on a good day.. not even close to 6’6
Tyler Withers what are you smoking? Lol 😂 he’s at least 6 foot 5
1:31 Barkley was unstoppable
eightys and early of the 90's,the nba best era,no doubt
You Stupid
@@samuellee1303 naw u stupid and young
@@Fireslanga1 Hahaha, nah you’re bitter and old as hell, Bron & Steph would murder Jordan & Miller. You just a sad old man bruh.
@@samuellee1303 Yeah, I'm sure Steph would survive the Detroit bad boys defense! Dude would be decapitated!
@@bigblock67camaro you old af huh??
the round mound of rebound!
2:12 the Defense back then!! 💪🏼💪🏼
One of my absolute fav forwards. Charles was a beast.. so much fun.
That is athletically peak Charles. A monster. And his passing skill and ball handling is under rated. He was small so in his early years he was a guard. He can be a "Power Guard" 😂
Great video, no one took it end to end like Chuck in his prime. Thanks for making this.
This vid is so 80's. I love it.
Zion before Zion
Most Bad Ass player of all time !!!!!
During Charles best 6 or 7 years he was better than any power forward ever including Duncan.
exactly..besides; everyone knows Duncan was really a Center. lol
@@MARproductionsPage Duncan won three rings playing PF.
Duncan is all. Time pf greatest
I love Charles but Duncan was a beast too. Tim Duncan arguably the greatest PF ever.
@@Dezbood even in his "PF" seasons he effectively played center most of the time.
Great choice of music.
Once Sir Charles got a head of steam, you see an awful lot of "business decisions" being made on defense :-)
For a 6'5" 250lbs with those 2 hand fast break slam dunks is so powerful asf! Still amaze me till now.
Toughest player to ever step onto a basketball court. Charles was a cold hearted killer.
Damn that dunk at 1:35 was thunderous.
Barkley was more explosive at this time. RAW beastly athleticism.
Perfect song for this mixtape! Great job man!
1:30 nails it.
If I could choose I would not be MJ, Lebron or whoever else but Barkley. He was great and he was fun.
Beutifull Mix Crunch..And Some Very Good Judas Priest To Added Up! :)
Beautifully edited. Cheers
SIR CHARLES!!!
Great song, great video
Great mix, loved it!
Him dunking on Manute Bol, followed by dunking on Mark Eaton in this video. Awesome
Perfect song 🤘
thx!
Couldn’t have picked a better song
Its amazing how tall these dudes are on average to make Charels look short when hes taller than most of us
Excelent music
Phila forever ♥️♥️♥️
DAMN!
Round Mound of Rebound ruled!!
what a monster !!!
Best four, ever
Straight Beast!
Grea video!
2nd greatest power forward of all time period!!!
This video is kickass!
Fuckin love the Judas Priest music added.
Thank Moses
Beast mode!!!!!!!!
Dunkin on them big San Antonio women
He was at his best in philly to bad philly had a shit management.
Oh god, we did. Just absolutely criminal how management failed him
👏
Chuck had a huge vertical. I doubt he ever measured it but it had to be 40+ maybe as high as 45 honestly.
people should stop comparing zion to chuck mahn, barkley was on whole other level
I miss this kind of basketball thank the greek gods for Giannis
Dunk at 2:20 just epic power lol
DRose from the 08 Bulls Era used to attack the Rim just like Sir
1:38 he blows past a whole team
One of the best power forwards of all .and only 6ft 4 inches tall
1:32 bro what a dunk
Chuck had mad handles unlike Shaq
I AM NOT A ROLE MODEL
I'm here confirming what I've been telling people. Charles wasn't fat like Zion.
Insert Zion Williamson comparison here
I like NBA basketball player Charles Barkley of Philadelphia Sixers. Charles should've stayed with Philadelphia. I like Charles Philadelphia teammates Hersey Hawkins, Maurice Cheeks, Julius Erving. Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Clyde Drexler, Shawn Kemp, Patrick Ewing, Earvin Johnson, Lebron James, Isiah Thomas are my favorite NBA basketball players.
gotta dig that JP soundtrack.....
HAHAHA dunk over 7'7'' Manute Bol
I hope zion patterns his game after Charles's.
Chuck moved FAST... and that's compared to professional athletes too!
This is the idol of 76ers in the 80´s, now you have... Ben Simmons, a three-point virgin.
Brh
For you kids out there who think that Barkley analyst guy is just some fat old man...in his prime he was badder than anyone playing today. Supreme scorer and rebounder.
Zion Williamson who?
In some ways, Philly Chuck was like a tougher/nastier Blake Griffin.
Zion is a little more explosive, it's amazing,how similar they are!
Explosiveness is at best a push.
Zion hasn’t consistently shown the competitive fire and will to dominate that Chuck had
barkley was beast, draymond would fouled out in second qtr while guarding chuck
