- Charles Barkley was known for rebounding and low-post dominance, but perhaps the only thing bigger than his game was his personality.

Imagine being called the "round mound of rebound" at 6'4. That's only an inch taller than Ja Morant or Steph. These guys like Chuck and Rodman are a different breed. Definitely deserving to be at the all time 75 list.
Steph is not 6 3 lol

CB is bad at 3pt shooting and also mid-ranged shots
I cannot possibly describe the impact that Charles and the '92-93 Suns team had on The Valley (Phoenix area). My dad was a pilot for America West Airlines at the time, and they were going out of business and my dad was extremely close to losing his job (after being demoted due to the company filing for bankruptcy) - but them being the official sponsor of The Suns boosted their business and literally pulled them out of bankruptcy. Charles Barkley was so good...he saved thousands of jobs (and families) that year.
I always said Barkley is the George Foreman of the NBA. Raw power with mad skills.
He has 3 inductions into the BBHOF. One as a player, one as a member of The Dream Team, and one as a member of NBA on TNT.
Charles' leaping ability isn't discussed enough. While he was big, he kept that weight down enough to still lend him the power. He was barely taller than a PG, and could outboard centers. Pretty astounding.
He was Zion before Zion.
Take notes kids. This is how most people remember Charles Barkley, not the TNT version you see đ
Okkk czcams.com/video/a1j9owBuwdQ/video.html
These kids today really donât know just how nasty Barkley was frfr he was under sized power forward and played like a absolute beast
We love both versions
MVP on and off the court. TNT is nothing without him
The 5 second back to the basket rule was made coz of him also
Chuck was an absolute beast!!

That's why Kenny the Jet Smith has to introduce every player that gets inducted somewhere or gets an award in something. He just expreses facts in well spoken english with passion. Very underrated narrator and analyst.
This is the best description of Barkley ever. None of it made any sense. I loved MJ, Kareem and all the greats from that era, but Charles was my favorite. Played his prime in a terrible team, still winning 50+ games at times. Had to be double teamed as soon as he touched the ball. Man would be unstoppable today.
I was born in 1982 and sir Charles was playing for the sixers when I watched my very first nba game with my grandpop and he ended up be my favorite player and to this day Iâm a die hard 76ers fan!!! But when Barkley was playing whatever team he was on that was my team cause of him!!! There will never be another guy like chuck lol
I will always associate him with the Suns more, as that is my team and I saw him carry the Suns to the Finals when I was a child.
It's great to see the respect Shaq has for Chuck despite all their playful trash talk. And he didn't even bring up the rings!
The explosiveness was insane
I think heâs the best PF ever. Every other guy above him had help in ways he just did not.
When Isiah talks about how crazy it was to see Barkley's athleticism and hops even though he was so big, sounds just like Zion! So glad this generation gets to have that experience of Barkley with Zion.
Except when one gets overweight they can still play
The Round (and Loudđ) Mound of Rebound. Chuck is a top 10 power forwards to ever playđȘđŸ
Top 5 imo
Nope giannis and green and Tim Duncan and dirk and Zion and Amati studremire and more
Top 10??
Top 3
@@champagnegibson8788 Zion is not a to 10 power forward and Charles Barkley is currently better than dirk, giannis, and draymond green
@@champagnegibson8788 Barkley was sure as hell better than Stoudamire.
Barkley was Dirk's main influence as well. The only player that's ultimately better is Giannis of your list.
The man that you shouldn't take him as a role-model. Hella great for non-champ player, hella great for a mound of rebound.
One of the best all around players, EVER. Scoring, rebounds, defense, assists, team leadership, toughness, clutch.
Being a 76ers fan I have been blessed to see real NBA game-changers through my life. It started with Doc. There was NO one like him when he arrived in Philly. The combination of grace and power (his dunks were vicious) was one-of-a-kind. Then Charles, well he looked like an out-of-shape football player. But, he was tenacious! He was a top athlete. Then AI, the opposite of Charles physically. The same 100% drive as Barkley and the fashion, swag, and style of a modern-day Dr.J. Now we have Embiid. Damn incredible. Also, we had Wilt but I wasn't around for him. The 6ers have had real game-changers every decade for 50 years.
Charles always is a idol of mine he doesn't give no shit and was always straight to the point and in his shoes

There will NEVER be a 6"5 and below guy thats grabbing 33 rebounds in a single game ever again
I have to remind myself that it's been over twenty years since Chuck played his last game,so there's a entire generation that never got to see him play and only seen him on TNT. I'm glad they get to see stuff like this to teach them why he's called Sir Charles
Charles Barkley was a relentless, physical, nasty, reckless, powerful, explosive basketball player. He was absolutely ruthless snatching rebounds off the backboards. He was a freak of nature đł
CB was a brute! Im a PF fan guy and surely he is on my all time fave. If LJ didnt injured that back he can be like Chuck
Loved that kenny and shaq where in this video
Charles đ„đ„
Charles barkley was an absolute beast...
I hope this is some motivation for Zion.

Bro needs to listen to Barkleys weight story too
Sir Charles Barkley is the very definition of Rare Talent and Raw Physical Strength. Isiah just cant describe the greatness of chuck đ€Ł
and the guy was ferocious... tooth and claw whatever.. would stand his ground never backs down to a fight.. aint that a beast!
I don't think people these days know how much of a BEAST Charles was.
I was growing up hating barkley. I was hating him because of his mad skills in an undersized body. They cant stop him.
He was my favorite player back then. I had a HUGE poster in my bedroom wall of him
He didnt win any nba titles , but he was the top scorer of the 1992 usa dream team. The best basketball team ever.
That says a lot of how good he was
Charles Barkley was a Game changer ,just that đđ
the round mound of rebound

My Favorite player of all time! When i was allowed to sit next to him and talk to him at a Cubs game was one of the biggest honors of my life!
My favorite PF
Chuck was a Beast đȘ
Also he played at the Summer Olympics for đșđž and he won back-to-back for a gold medalist (Barcelona 1992 & Atlanta 1996). đ„
Great man, great player I love him because he is real.
Charles' playing was a thing of beauty to behold. Philly loves Chuck!
Sir Charles đđđ

Sir Charles is one of my all time favorite NBA players
crazy to think ppl especially the younger folks see him as the crazy tv guy but man......this guy was a beast of a player and zeke was right he had fun playing...him and MJ were the best players on the dream team in 92.
the valley of the Sun and the State of Arizona will always love Charles Barkley what he did for the Phoenix Suns
Amen to that brother.
Best suns player ever.
That's debatable. Barkley only played in Phoenix for 4 years. Only had 3 healthy years in Phoenix. He could be but it's not unanimous. His prime was in Philadelphia
At 6'4 he is easily the most athletic basketballer of all time. He was a BEAST! Most of you all think of him as the goofy fat man laughing at them big ol woman in San Antonio but at his prime, he was an all time great
Charles Barkley unstoppable he's PRIME đ„đ„đ„
Barkley is one of a handful of guys who truly did "break the mold" when it came to playing a position: him, Magic, Bird, and Akeem come to mind. In my mind, he is the best power forward of all time (I consider Tim Duncan a center, but even so, I'd take Barkley over him).
Some guys are just a freak of nature. He was one of them. He was unstoppable like Jordan at times. Had he had the will power to stay in tip top shape he may have gotten a championship.
Itâs gonna be a sad day when he leaves the tnt crew ⊠nevertheless, that wonât be his legacy ⊠in spite of never witnessing him play, he was a monster in the post
Why would he leave tho
@@EverythingAi233 he stated heâs gonna be leaving the tnt crew till another season ⊠since it seems lot of peeps canât wait to get him off the screen due to his insensitive humor
@@ceebee312 that's not true he said he is leaving because he didn't wanna die working. he wanted to die doing things he loved like fishing or golfing.
@@EverythingAi233 his contract is up in like 2 years and he said he doesnât wanna die on tv.
@@michaeldwane4192 hes literally said verbatim its partly because the TNT execs are trying to filter him. idk if you actually watch the show but he hasnt talked about san antonio women for like years now, because they will not let him. thats 100000% a part of his decision, amongst reasons you also mentioned
chuck while he was playing was the body type of a 2022 d line or outside linebacker
Broadcasting đ and hell of a player
When I first saw Zion's game, I immediately thought Charles Barkley 2.0... if Zion can get to an ideal weight and be more conservative with his explosiveness, he has the chance to stand out as one of the greats.
Fantastic player/broadcaster/human being.
Anybody who says Jordan shoulda won the MVP is 94 is on crack. Barkley took Phoenix over the hump they could never get over, he was the MVP that yr and thereâs no debate
Waiting for this one and it's here finally

Love him on and off the court!
Them big olâ women in San Antonio are going to hit dislike. Eating them churros.

LOL đđđđđ
Greatest finisher at the rim of all time!
Nah!!
Kyrie
If you mean the best finisher ever of the power forwards then yes. Without question!!
@@sixthreesixcheddaNFO only casuals say shit like this lmfao bro really said kyrie
@@iizzcool heâs not wrong⊠he never said Barkley was a better player
LOL Isaiah still sounds stunned.
one of my all time favourite players.
I used to love watching Charles Barkley do that move where you would "pull the chair" out from the guy so to speak and just watch the other guy fall to the floor and wonder what the hell just happened!!!đđ
Rick Mahorn taught him that one I believe lol
man i love Charles Barkley
Charle's Barkley has, statistically, the best playoff game in NBA history since all stats were compiled.
U da man Chuck đ„đ„đ„
Charles was undersized, blah, blah, blah; the dude had incredible quads, hamstrings, and calves, all of it. He was like Tom Platz, an absolute freak, superhuman.
Chuck is freak of nature đđ
"Two ham hocks for thighs" đ
Chuck wagon ! My favorite player of all time
Chuck broke the mold and befriended Godzilla.
I remember that series Vs Chicago. I was so behind Charles. He had to go up against MJ, pippen, rodman and them... near enough on his own. And boy did they have to work to stop this man. My legit favourite sports person spokesman. He will hit you with the truth... And let it burn... No apologies.
Rodman wasn't there in 93 when the Suns made the finals
Barkley is a beast!
Sir Charles was a dog on the court as well as a runaway train. Get out the way when he was coming full force. Great player.
Love CB
Duncan
Nowitzki
KG
Chuck
Malone
Chuck was a beast
Ikr czcams.com/video/a1j9owBuwdQ/video.html
How do you have dirk over KG and no Kevin McHale...... you're basketball knowledge is definitely đ€š
Kevin McHale was the Hakeem of power forwards with his post moves. Duncan played more center than power forward. Dirk is really a wing. Good list. All of them are top 10 power forwards
All I know is GIannis is better than some of these guys
@@FireAngelChris Giannis is more of a SF
Chuck was a beast. As far as power forwards Go. To me, 1. Tim Duncan 2. Charles Barkley 3. Karl Malone.
didn't know the 5sec rule was due to Chuck
MVP czcams.com/video/a1j9owBuwdQ/video.html
Barkley definitely deserves to be in the conversation as the best PF of all time
Chuck!!!!!!
Best team in 1995 lost in game 7
Game changer indeed.
Isiah beautiful said

Barkley was a natural guard in height until he gained the lane then he was a linebacker and there was no stopping him.
The most beast NBA player during his prime.
ANTHONY DAVIS | 75 injuriesđ
wtf mate
No kidding. If it was a 75th anniversary Injured Reserve team then Anthony "Streetclothes" Davis should be on that
well I'm still amazed on how shaq refers to chuck and charles barkley differently. I am now convinced that he sees them as two different people lol
Damn right! He has first hand experience from both as well!
Hey NBA, next time you're using game footage, use more than 25% of the screen
1:59 is a joke
The best undersized power forward of all time.
I learned a lot here.
STEPHANIE READY đ€đ€đđ
I wish he was in 2k I wanna play with 93 Barkley so bad lol
ì°°ì€êČœ ì€ëìŹìžì!
Charles was the giannis prototype but with less defense but never less heart
...less defense? lmaoo
Shaq just exeggerated. He aint 6'4 he started as 6'6 and shrinked to 6'5 on later years(still impressive ofc). And Prime Barkley could've be the top PF offensively in terms of raw talent and versatility. And when people talking about best rebounders its always like Dennis Rodman, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell this 3 is the top 3 rebounders. But I dont agree. First of all between late 50s to early 70s all superstars centers and power forwarsd has at least 1 20+ rebound per game season and couple of 18+ rebound per game seasons. It was about the shooting percentage and pacing. It wasnt only special to Russell and Chamberlain yes these 2 even better than rest of it but not a huge margin. Nate Thurmond, Walt Bellamy, Wes Unseld, Bob Pettit, Jerry Lucas (6-8 guy has 2 20+ rebound per game season) or SF like Elgin Baylor (6'5) has two 18+ rebound per game season. And most of the time he is a 12-13+ rpg player thru out his career. Gus Johnson a 6'6 SF/PF mostly averages 12 t o15 rpg. Or how 6'4 Oscar Robertson average triple doubles with 10-11 rebound early in his career.
So imo rebounding in 60s are very overrated stats. Like asists today. Its about pacing and shooting percentage. What Bill Russell doing with the boards wasnt something special to him. He wasnt better than Nate Thurmond but he was winning. Only Chamberlain was making a bit more difference with 24 rpg seasons.
And between Rodman and Charles. Rebound was Dennis's first priority. Actually other than scoring all the rest was his game. Great pick & roll passer, great 1 v 1 defender, great help defender, great trash talker, can get somebody's under the skin easily, great rebounder and perimeter/post defender if he want to be. And even tho he was 6 cm longer than Charles and have better wingspan he was undersized for his position too.
But Charles. Charles was 6'5 - 6'6 at most and he was wasting huge energy on offense. 80s and 90s were big men dominant era (Jordan and his team was the only bug of the meta) and Charles was facing 6'9 to 7'1 opponents everyday on offense. So ? And he was even than 12+ rpg every season almost. So imo Charles might be even better rebounder than Dennis even tho he wasnt as focused as Rodman.
Charles is a very underrated athlete imo.
ANd if you ask me my top 5 all time rebounders ?
1- Rodman or Charles
2- Chamberlain
3- Moses Malone
4- Hakeem
5- Jason Kidd (why ? Cuz he aint as athletic as Westbrook he aint as big as Magic or LBJ as a playmaker, he aint played in 60s like Big O) and still this dude has 8+ rpg season and multiple 7 rpg seasons and even have 10 -11 rpg play-off runs even after his 30 years old of age.
He is boxing and positioning IQ is uncanny. I mean in 2006 Play-offs (could be 2008 too) He tormented Young, Prime Chris Bosh in terms of boxing him out he was a 30+ year old overweight 6'3 , 6'4 PG)
Wow, what if a young Barkley, already supernaturally genetically gifted, took care of his body and developed his athleticism and worked on it and maintained the best diet . . . He would have beat the Bulls in 1993.
Zion needs to see this video. He's supposed to be Chuck 2.0.
I can barely see any highlights with those shots. They're more worried about showing the studio than the plays.
Chuck is from the old school ,he was down to fight anyone too.
"Those Big Ol' San Antonio Women"
