NBA Legends Explain how SCARY GOOD Charles Barkley Was (Jordan, Shaq, Magic..)

- Charles Barkley was hands down one of the best Power Forwards in NBA history. He was such a phenomenal athlete in an awkward body frame. A trully odd and unique athlete. Dribbled like a point guard, size of a shooting guard, rebounded like a center. He doesn't get the credit he deserves!

MJ low-key disses Barkley all the time but as soon as Charles said Mike hadn't done well as an owner(which he hasn't) Mike quit talki to him after 20+ years of friendship. You wrong for that one Micheal 🙄
MJ: “… and I took that personally”.
I don't remember who was interviewing MJ at the time but MJ had said that Charlies was too honest. Guess MJ can't handle a true friend who is gonna tell you the truth regardless.
@@dannyharrison8594 maybe Oprah Winfrey show
We learned all mike needs is a reason! 🤦🏽♂️
Facts!!
44 points 24 rebounds in game 7 of the WCF standing maybe at 6'5" is all that needs to be said. One of the greatest players ever.
Period
If it wasn't for Charles' head-crest , he WOULD be 6-4.5 - 6.5. But that crest puts him up to just under 6-6.
In the semi finals against sonics he had multiple triple doubles and literally game six felt like all the bulls fan did witchcraft we could not score at all for shit from marje and Barkley and 2 bllsht fouls. Specially on the last quarter and leaving Paxon open . And the grant block sealed the coffin . They shouldve went for an alleyop or spread all at the wing and all rush the paint on inbound
@@iGucik ...At this point , I'm starting to think it was just it was supposed to play out that way. Not sure if it is a dfefeatist attitude or just seen enuff crap happs to good peeps...kinda wears on ya. But Barkley was & IS...Blessed. Whatta career he has had...a legacy.
Michael said I just passed the ball I'm not gonna do another star dirty like that 😅🤣
"Charles Barkley took me under his wing, which I wish he didn't". 😂😂😂
Jayson Wiilliams is such a treasure. I wish they have clips of his quips.
@@carloleomanuel have you checked out any of his interviews on VladTv?
@@torrisfairley3227 yup, but that's way too serious, man. I know he went through a lot but I just want the fun-loving version of Jayson when he was still in the NBA.
@@carloleomanuel For real.
@@carloleomanuel He has a great personality. He could have been like Barkley as a color commenter if it wasn't for the manslaughter.
6'5 player averaging 13 rebounds a game in the physical ass 90's, averaged more rebounds than Shaq in his prime
6'5"? Stretching a bit
@@SpottedPop "I claimed to be 6-6 when I played, but I'm only 6-5 1/2
"
@@minge9 that's the gist of my statement. It's well known Chuck is around 6'3, 6'4" on a good day. Every hooper has added to their height at some point on the journey.
He averaged more rebounds than, Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing etc
@@melvynsngltn27 I'll always believe if wanted to concentrate solely on rebounding as Rodman did, Chuck too would have multiple rebounding titles. And Dennis would have less.
Chuck was amazing in his younger years but phoenix suns chuck was on another level. Dude was disciplined, smart and skilled. He carried that team all the way to th finals that year. Absolute killer
Damn right
chuck himself said he was a better player on Philly lol
and they mad at bron he carried so many different players to finals
Bron do it to at 22 years old and people hate on him.... the BIG DIFERENCE of old head and New Head....
Incorrect. Charles (nobody called him Chuck back then) himself said repeatedly that he was a better player in Philadelphia. But having a worthless Mike Giminski as your center and other clowns did not help
Some of these stories were ridiculous! Chuck has the best personality in NBA history hands down
I always wanted to be like Mike growing up. But now that I'm older, I see that Chuck would have been way more fun to hang out with.
Charles Barkley and Dennis Rodman are proof rebounding isn’t about being tall but being able to clear the space and effort! Two of the best rebounders I have seen and either one of them is taller than 6’7”
Dennis was listed at the 6ft 9
The box out is actually about, strength, speed, endurance, techniques and mentality, people can jump as much and as high as they can but if you can make sure your opponents can't get close to the landing area of the ball or force them to stay on the ground so they can't jump, then you win it, but as i said " endurance " isn't something that everyone has and by " endurance " not just a normal athlete's endurance but superhuman 's endurance, you could see how Rodman or Barkley's rebound, mostly is
@@FiftyCircles Yeah, the listing was bullshit. Phil Jackson himself said he was closer to 6'6"... which makes sense when you see him stand next to Jordan.
I don’t understand how it can be so hard to find the accurate height of a lot of these NBA players
@@danh.5998 Yeah, NBA is notorious for this. They listed Olajuwon as 7'... he was maybe 6'10".
It's a shame Barkley gets overlooked when they mention the top power forwards, he is one of the best to ever play
Yah he played in Jordan Era everyone was overlooked
@@jfrom214 no some of y’all just too young to remember how dope he was … especially when he was in PHILLY
@@rayshardsmith2546 You're right, Chuck was a beast in Philly. Most of his 1st and 2nd All-NBA teams, were before the 92-93 season, when he was traded to Phoenix. While he won his only NBA MVP his first season in Phoenix and that was his only Finals. You're right, his best individual years were in Philly.
Chuck would have got his ring, if he arrived one year early. Dr J & Moses were getting older and that last chip, sorta emptied their tank. I just started watching ball as a kid with my dad in the early 80s. Charles is definitely one of the best PFs ever. The way he played in the 1993 Finals was incredible. Unfortunately, MJ literally matched him and overtook him. Very few players could do that, in such a pressure cooker. One of my favorite finals matches, even though it only went to 6 games.
It's alright, he's still an arguably top 5 PF ever.
I honestly haven't seen anyone forget Charles as one of the greatest Power Forwards.
Most people manyion him.
Until Zion Williamson came along , I felt Chuck was the most uniquely physically gifted player who'd yet played in the NBA. With an actual height of 6' "4 1/2" inches, and weighing in his prime 250-260 lbs , I was, and am still, amazed at what he accomplished on the court. When he was at Auburn, and playing at over 300 lbs, his athletic ability was astounding. One of my all-favorite players, ever.
zion not on that level yet
@@randybadthomas Zion needs to get on the court first bruh lmaooo. That boy made out of glass 😂😂😂 he needs to lose some weight.
That's what I'm talkin about, this is the type of comment that make me not even have to comment!!!#facts
Zion proved nothing yet.
Comparing rising talent who yet prove nothing with one of top 20-30 players of all time is ridicilus.
You aint comparing someone to him until that person comes really close of what he was......
Barkley is underrated
most underrated
All facts...
ONLY TO THE UNKNOWLEDGEABLE FANS .>🎤
Not if you saw him..
An underrated Top 50 Hall of Famer!!?? I don't think so......hes literally recognized as an All Time Great but he's "underrated?"🤔🤔
Sir Charles was a special player. Doesn’t get enough love in my opinion when people bring up the greats from that era. Undersized PF who would grab all the boards, dunk on you, back you down on the block and score at will, and occasionally splash the 3 in your face. Top 5 PF of all time in my opinion.
Chuck is a national treasure! He's one of the very few people on TV to not take himself seriously and have fun, even when it's at his own expense. It's gonna be a sad day when/if he legit decides to retire from public life.
Not arrogant like MJ, chuck is one of the coolest nba players and was one of the biggest headaches (IN GAME) for MJ, SHAQ AND OTHER ERA'S...
True!
@@JJSideshowBob and his shoes were badass too lol🔥
@@ramosjosea1000 Jordan aint arrogant he's Jordan...when you that famous its just different
@@kingnighto7459 😆
“Barkley says things we would think about and never say”.
-MJ
There is a life lesson here. Funny how him and Shaq heated with each other but later formed a bromance, and now hin and Jordan dont even talk, although they were close friends before. Thats how life is.
Why is that btw?
@@vicvaldez23 Charles critiqued Jordan as a team owner and MJ being MJ took it personally
@@zakbagans8408 MJ should listen to Charles on this one.
I'll say something about Jordan. As great of a player he was he was always a sensitive little punk. And I've seen a pattern with him he hates anyone to steal the limelight
@@zakbagans8408 idk why jordan sensitive bout that cuz his mentality in the court would work on the criticisms but who knows 🤷🏾♂️
"I just flunked my entrance exam into kindergarten" is something only this man would think to say off the top of his head
Moses Malone was a huge influence on Hakeem Olujawon. MJ, Hakeem and Chuck were the 3 best players in the 1984 draft and Moses mentored 2 of 3. Those Houston pickup runs against Moses were basically gladiator school for young Hakeem, while at Univ of Houston.
Hakeem has said this in multiple interviews. Those runs against Moses and his big man mentoring, really took his game and mindset to the next level. He said Moses would push him so hard sometimes, he would contemplate quitting, but he stuck in there.
Dr J said one of his joys in life was in helping Chuck find a way to achieve greatness through finding the ideal weight-athleticism balance and never taking his foot off the pedal of excellence.
I think Stockton was in that draft too.
Moses is the most underrated player ever, IMO.
Seeing an old Charles at 6’4 actually take down prime Shaq is crazy impressive
He knew how to fight too by sweeping his leg up 😂
Very underrated athletic wise. Dude was fearless and ferocious. Amazed by some of his highlights of him running the floor at Philadelphia.
Even more awesome is chuck and Shaq’s mom being best friends!
It's a shame he never won a title. The Suns came pretty close but of course no one was gonna beat the Bulls back then 🤷
no one was gonna beat *"MJ"* you mean
@@user-jm7mm4lo7o Bird, Isiah and others beat MJ
@TheRealBandito the right is that his Team would He ringless without him ,but this ist about respect,you've got none
@@user-jm7mm4lo7o here goes another "Jordan did it all on his own" cult members..get on ur knees. Jordan is waiting for u 🍆
Yeah I don’t like how people get on Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton and certain other players, great players of the 90s that didn’t win the title. They were playing against Michael Jordan. No one was winning. Just like no one was winning (even Jordan) in the 80s because of Magic and Bird…
Ernie was bout to eff somethin up when they tore his notes. Ernie looks like the type that its all fun and games till it's not. Beware of those types.
The great charles barkley , amazing player , great personality . Funny and no filter just awsome 😂👍
One of the best players that I got the chance to watch growing up. A unique character with an endless motor.
How can you not love Chuck. He's so honest with his opions. And allways time for fans.
I grew up in the Philly area. Saw him play in person. He hustled more than the other nine guys combined. I was very upset when Philly let him go.
I always use that trade as an example that you don’t trade 4 quarters for a dollar. Put together, Hornacek and the others surpassed Barkley’s stats. But players like Barkley bring intangibles that don’t show up on the stat sheet
@@StuUngar true. It's called impact.
I was very upset that we traded him for 3 bums! Then gets to Phoenix and wins the MVP. Beating out Michael Jordan.
one of the greatest without a ring
Charles was an athletic freak, the way he moved and second jumped. All at maybe 6‘5“… loved to watch him play.
I will say this about Charles Barkley keeps it real off the Court my opinion one of the best rebounders to ever play the game
If he had concentrated solely on rebounding like Rodman, there would have been none better. Not in his era.
When Charles talks about food, you can see he is really enjoying the memories of food he ate (no matter how long ago it was!). The guy just appreciates food. He is the most likable, down to earth television celebrity. Sometimes watching NBA open court it is hard to believe that those guys are multimillionaires who probably wouldn't give regular people five minutes of time to have a conversation, but together they seem like such fun people to hang out with and talk basketball.
@17:10 Jayson Williams describing being under the wings of Charles Barkley for both to get shipped out Philly is the funniest thing I've ever heard 😂🤣😂
😂😅
I know Tim Duncan was the greatest PF of all time but the best pound for pound inch for inch PF I’ve ever seen was Charles Barkley. Chuck was a behemoth.
If Chuck would run for any office....He'd have my vote.!!!!!Chuck is real.....He's straight up.....No chaser!!!!!!!
Tim Duncan was a Center/PF
Tim duncan was not the greatest power forward ever he had the luxury of playing with David robinson,Tony Parker, manu ginobili & kawhi leonard he was one of the greatest power fowards ever
I know they give Duncan the accolades for being the GOAT, however, if they were matched up in their prime, there would be no way they would put Duncan on Chuck, Chuck would have him in foul trouble in 5 minutes, his skill set was to unique. No matter who you put on Chuck: Rodman, Oakley, Alonzo Morning, David Robinson, Anthony Mason, Karl Malone, Sean Kemp etc. Chuck would rack up on them, he even got the best of Duncan when he was a broken down old man at 36 years of age.
@@linkueiwarriorkamaal9876 well said
I was not a fan of professional basketball for the first five decades of my life. Hearing these stories about the greats of the game and seeing some of the footage of their highlights has turned me into a fan of the players and a new respect for the game.
Charles Barkley is one of the greatest players in the history of the game...period. He was an absolute killer. The man had no fear. A true LEGEND.✌
2nd to MJ in the 90's
He’s legitimately hilarious, always has been
I’m so glad I grew up watching these guys. That was basketball.
Underated and great he was. He has charisma and was handsome.
There was a period around the time of the Dream team where It was known that MJ and Barkley were the baddest ballers in the league.. Similar to how Tmac and Kobe were arguably the best players in 01-03
Barkley was mvp of the dream team
@@mccleandazza4618 leading scorer as well. 🍻 Daly also gave a lot of praise to Pippen also
I like how chuck and Shaq can look back at the fight they had a laugh about it and not have any bitter feelings
My favorite player as a kid 💯💯🎯🎯 he was listed as 6'6 he might be 6'4
6'4 and 3/4 to be precise so basically 6'5
I don’t know lol I saw his mugshot and he looked to be 6’6”+
Mine too. Always loved how Barkley played basketball especially since I was husky myself. Lol 😆
I heard he was 6’6 too
He's definitely not 6'4. He's 6'6.
Chuck lost a brother in Jordan.
Shaq lost a brother in Kobe.
Together they found a brother in each other.
I like how you worded that Rajendra & that is so true, & ironic knowing that they couldn't stand each other as competitors, but now Charles have Shaq crying laughing without even trying, & all 4 of guys on their sports show consider each other as family, brothers!
Wow MJ is a sicko. He can’t even compliment Chuck with a real compliment
I know right. He couldn't just say, Chuck put some pressure on me that game and he's not known to be a perimeter defender.
He was just pickin on charles. They were good friends back then. They would always joke with each other like that
Charles was never afraid of getting into a conflict even if his opponent was as big as Shaq Diesel and went physical!
He may not be the greatest PF of all time, but he's the greatest PG-sized PF who will ever play the game.
Don't worry, he's up there near the top of all time PF's.
On the money
This is a great compilation - great work really enjoyed it
People here talking about MJ not giving enough credit to Chuck. But i thought if MJ didn't thought that Chuck was this great, he will be totally demolished by Chuck for not giving the proper respect. MJ knows the game, he knows the player, especially the great players. And they also good friends tho. Its just his competitive nature. He knows that no other PF is better than Chuck in 90s era, even Karl.
When i was a kid, the first time i saw charles barkley was when he went 1v1 with Godzilla. Been a fan since.
For me CB was probably the most entertaining player ever. That bit with him and Shaq reminiscing about that fight never gets old 🤣
It's wild that he gets clowned for his size when he played instead of mentioned as one of the greatest athletes the game has seen. His height and weight and still skying for boards then go coast to coast and dunk on someone's dome piece! He was an absolute world class athlete and one of the best to ever ball.
MJ on Charles guarding him : Everything looked technically right lol 😆 😂
Sir Charles was an absolute beast. As a kid I remember seeing his Sixers Starting Lineup in Caldor and knocking another kid down to get it. I was a Knick fan but cause of high prices I went to loads of Net games at Brendan Byrne/Meadowlands so I got to see him whole career along with MJ,Larry,Magic,Drazen,Nique,David,Stockton,Malone,TMC,Kidd,Buck,Patrick,LJ,Zo, Pistons,The Dream,and on and on
Those were great years to be a fan, I got to see a bunch of those players as well. I loved it back then but really appreciate it now, it was like the golden era of basketball to me.
Hakeem impressed me the most live, he was so big but would pivot around like a point guard. He was so quick for someone 7 feet tall.
Seeing Shaq in person was crazy too, such a huge human being.
Jordan was great to see as well of course and I loved seeing Kemp & Payton all those games.
Stockton Malone....
So many great players back then.
You took me back with that Caldors reference.
One of my all time favorites. Unbelievable game ,funny as hell ,and the MVB of the Olympics.
Imagine Chuck as a Laker.... damn... wouldn't be considered the greatest to never win a ring if that trade goes down
At this point I'm WAY more of a Barkley fan than a basketball fan.
Great words
Charles Barkley is an American treasure! Not just an amazing basketball player but an amazing human.
I think Mike dissed Chuck so much because he knew how good Chuck really was. Barkley is often referred to as one of the most efficient scorers of all-time… don’t tell me Mike doesn’t take that personally. And Barkley was that good without really working hard or taking care of himself.
God point
I love Charles... original Dream Team member... nuff said
Draymond can't hold a candle to CB34 and I'm a diehard lifelong Warriors fan....
Draymond is a completely different type of player. Charles was all about rebounding and offense. Draymond is all about orchestrating the defense.
@@chrissennfelder7249 easier to replace Draymond than Chuck. Any day.
All of the athletes of this era were so much more likable just as people as well as players
Chuck’s playoff run with the Suns was epic!
Best shit ever
Geez Chuck was an absolute monster in the NBA! Just a total beast! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Say what you want! Barkley is a legend man!
Long live Sir Charles 🙏🏾
I know chuck dosnt have a title but dude was a complete baller ..2 gold medals a mvp best power forward to ever play the game
On of the original 50 best ever
And the best nickname ever
SIR CHARLES
Charles is a Equal Opportunity Abuser🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
For those of you that didn't grow up in the 90s, you missed what basketball was always meant to be. It was fun. But also some of the greatest sports ever played
Charles Barkley one of favorite players based just on character. He would be the one person I would love to work with every day
Kj is the most underrated player in nba history! He should be hell of famer already! No ever mentions how great he is, when he’s one of best point guards ever
Had the pleasure of meeting Charles at a Resort I used to work at. Such an awesome guy! Remembered my name for the duration of his stay, which showed him as a genuine, caring dude! One of my all time favorites!
“Equal opportunity abuser” lmfao didn’t know David was funny like that
Theres a reason why hes one of the 50 greatest players in nba history back in 96. A top PF player of all time
It's crazy the amount of money they paid back then for guys who played harder in worse conditions as far as penalties were concerned. Barkley got 2 million for 4 years. Guys who sit on the bench and never play get a million for 1 season in today's game. Lol, I love Ernie in this segment
If you adjust for inflation, it’s about the same! But Chuck was no benchwarmer
It doesnt look like Shaq actually tried to punch Chuck in the face
Jayson Williams commentary at 17:09 is hilarious. 😂😂😂
I needed to drink, I was playing with some bums😂
Can you imagine how much more amazing he could have been if he took better care of his body?!?! Unreal natural ability.
Probably not as good 🤷🏾♂️
Underrated player and storyteller
Love Chuck,Ernie and the lads
Barkley is NOT a role model
One of the best ads ever and he always did it his way #Legend
One of my favorite players as a kid watching basketball for the first time in the late 80s
Wazzzup wit that beat in the intro tho.....head noddin wit the 😡 face.
Vid is on point....Barkley was a beast. Had the vicious Nikes too.....
Barkley has epic stories 😂 😂 very underrated
Half way through the vid this so entertaining Charles is a good soul 💯💯
Always loved and respected CB. His skills- drive and personality demanded it.
This was very well edited.
+1sub
Great compilation. Good job.
My favorite power forward
I’m 45 I know there is Michael Jordan, Larry Bird all them older guys that I grew up with but my hands-down favorite was Charles Barkley to me the best power forward to play the game
The Notes story 18:04 has to be the funniest thing I have seen this year I can’t lie lmfaooooo😂😂😂
He’s the greatest player that never won a chip. Damn Jordan!!
Jordan retired and Hakeem won two rings, so that excuse doesn't fly.
@@thomascrowniii1693 Barkley took the Rockets to a game 7 in ‘94 and he was injured. Plus the Rockets had a better team. Barkley carried the Suns.
Oh look a basketball video and someone has to bring up Jordan as usual.
Chuck my MVP 93🏆
@@jhayc7285 And then gets destroyed by MJ in the finals hahahahahahahaha
Best power forward of all time in my eyes!!!
I agree. If he was 6"10 he would be the best to ever play the game
Barkley is one of my favorite player back then! He's unstoppable in open court when he mount that rebound, get out of your way coz his going at it and will destroy you if your in his way! An undersize four with a stoke from deep and will bully you down in the post! 👊👊👊
13:00 that pizza look good as heck his story making me hungry
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you
Where kevin Johnson at?
Sir Charles & Kevin🔥🔥💪🏻
The fact people think Zion is more authentic than Barkley has always seemed carzy to me. Barkley could take it off the rim and go coast to coast and dunk on the biggest player on the other team with two hands. Post game sick off the dribble monster his fade away jump shot unstoppable. Barkley game is so underrated.
When Charles was in Phoenix he was in pretty damn good shape actually.
Love, Sir Charles, growing up, I watched him along with all the other greats. He had it, and it was cool to see him play.
To the youngins who wasn't old enough to remember or witness....watching Chuck in the 80s/90s was a site to see. He was a problem out there
Charles is a legend among legends.
People need to remember Charles playing at 6 foot 36 foot four during a time that it was the most physical ever, and it was also a league that was ran by centers that all stood 7 foot taller, and the majority of the centers are in the Hall of Fame because of how good they were and Charles still dominated the shit out of them
Good job Buddy
