  • Have any of you Barkley badgers ever taken a berth in the 80's or watched early 90's basketball? Give me a break, Barkley went way harder than arrest did/does!

  • "I talk to mike and he always sayin i wish i could have played ron artest in my prime" hahaha

  • Q burro!!!!! LMFAO!!! Ron, excuse me Metta World Peace would of worked charles barkley. (cmon michael jordan wanted to play against him)

  • Chris Webber runs his mouth a lot, a bit too much for someone who hasn't sniffed a Finals and blew his only NCAA championship run because of a called timeout. Artest might be all talk sometimes too, but atleast he plays hard every night and at one time used to be the best defender in the league, that's saying something. Artest also has a ring, something Webber wishes he had.

  • @AintHome000 Yeah, because Artest was the reason the Lakers were so good, Kobe just gravy trained Artest to a ring. Webber was in game 7 OT in the conference finals against the Lakers and the only reason they didn't win is because the Lakers had two of the top ten players to ever live. You're seriously saying Ron Artest doesn't talk as much as Webber? Webber was a 20 and 10 guy every night who was also the best passing big man in the league, that's saying something.

  • @andreboy1 The Kings were up 3-2 in that series and Webber choked. I find it funny how Webber ran his mouth and this video because apparently he has a man crush on Charles Barkley and had to stick up for him after Artest called him out as a soft defender.

  • one of the greatest shows on TV.. 2 bad we probabaly wont see it at all this year

  • @REPQNZ What was that?

  • Artest would fuck Charles up any day of the week, he would school him in his prime, in his teens, in his old age, he would school him as a toddler.

    Charles is overrated...and this is coming from a guy who knows nothing about basketball,

  • @24lakerland Are you kidding? How old are you? Did you even see Charles play, he is way better there shouldn't even be a discussion. Artest wasn't even the go to guy in Indiana when he was in his prime, it was Reggie and Jermaine O'neal, and you say he's better than Barkley?? Please!!

  • my argument? artest was not in the dream team. case closed.

  • Barkley is Great! Artest is overrated ... Nobody battles Godzilla in them Nike shirt designs but Barkley!

  • LOL @ Chris Webber laughing

  • That's crazy: Artest ONLY averaged .6 points better than Chuck. Round both the numbers to the nearest whole number and it's like they both averaged 17 points per game. Even towards the end of his career, Chuck was doing his thing!

  • Ron sound like a bae bae kid when he said Chuck had no defense lmao...

  • Chuck is prolly the most deserving player never to get a ring. He is "not a role model" and and doesn't hold back his thoughts, but he is not a straight up thug and had (and still does have) a great love for the game, and has more heart in his pinky than artest does in his whole body

  • @mitchbuff the most deserving is stockton & malone

  • smh..artest better than barkley? wtf is wrong with ppl these days..barkley is a hall of famer..he was a BEAST..look at artest now..lol fuckin retards

  • Chuck had no defense, and how many rings does he have? He couldn't win a ring on a team with Dr. J and Moses Malone.

  • @JaredWatsonVEVO He only played 2 years with those guys before they both retired. They were at the end of their careers when Philly drafted Chuck. Michael Jordan wouldnt of won a ring with them either.

  • @antwhezzy What about with Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler?

  • @JaredWatsonVEVO He played 3 years with them and he was always hurt all the time. As he was at the end of his career. He pretty much wasted his prime years in Philadelphia where they failed to build a team around him. Plus there was a lot of Hall of Famers from that era like Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller, and Karl Malone who dont have rings thanks to Michael Jordan.

  • @JaredWatsonVEVO you're fucking retarded, he's one of the best players in the history of the nba. name another player under 6'5" that got the stats he did. i'll save you the time: there are none. karl malone, john stockton, chris webber, steve nash, shawn kemp, reggie miller, patrick ewing. you're telling me these guys suck bc they dont have rings? smarten up bro.

  • @bferg531 Did I say he sucked? No. I just said that he was a liability on defense and that he wasn't a great team player. Individually he got his, but even when he joined a team with all-stars, just to get his ring, he couldn't do it. So let me restate myself so you don't get it twisted: He was a great player. With average defense. With no rings. Ron Artest? Good player. Good defense. One ring.

  • @JaredWatsonVEVO do you know what the word "imply" means? because you definitely implied that since he didnt have a ring that he wasnt a great player. and dr. j and malone were really old when he joined them. and this was during the era that the celtics, lakers, pistons were still dominant as shit. then after that was the mj dynasty when no other team had a chance. to try to insinuate that ron artest is anywhere near barkley is absolutely ludicrous.

  • @bferg531 Old huh? Then explain to me how they won it the previous year? They keep those two player and draft Barkley and don't win it again? Don't even go to the Finals which they had the previous three out of four years (80,82,83) ? Or were you talking about how he went to Houston in 96 after the Rockets had won it all in 94 and 95? And then didn't even make it to the Finals with Barkley. But I'm getting confused, because I thought that only the Celtics, Lakers, and Bulls won in that era...

  • @JaredWatsonVEVO the 76ers didnt win for the same reason that the celtics didnt win in 09 after they improved on their already great roster. there were better teams in the league. and in houston he was CONSTANTLY battling injuries (never started more than 50 games or so). if anyone's to blame its been the performance of his supporting casts. barkley was an averge defender but he averaged almost 1 blk a game and 1.5 stls which is amazing for his size and position.

  • @JaredWatsonVEVO his ridiculous job on the boards and his ability to score at will more than made up for his average 1 on 1 defensive abilities. you're making yourself look silly by trying to compare him to artest or by implying that he was the reason none of his teams won championships. john stockton and steve nash have had some very good supporting casts, so i guess ron artest is better than them too huh?

  • @bferg531 This is not about them, so don't bring them up. If Artest and Barkley were on the playground (in their primes), who would you pick between the two first?

  • @JaredWatsonVEVO yes i can bring them up because it disproves your idiotic logic. and i would pick barkley in a heartbeat, he would abuse artest. this will make it clear even for you to see: if you replace ron artest with barkley in his prime on the laker team that won, they would still easily win. but if you replace barkley with artest on the phoenix suns that made it to the finals, they wouldnt even make the playoffs. and you know thats the truth.

  • @bferg531 Then I would pick Artest, he would shut down Barkley on d, and do whatever he wants with him on offense, because Artest would be faster, taller, and longer. But if Artest does miss a shot, I'll give you that Barkley would get the rebound. And a counterargument would be that the 96 Rockets had no defense, and lost to a team that had the Defensive Player of the Year, so having a defensive minded player might have benefited more than a 6'5 rebounder on the same team as Olajuwon.

  • @JaredWatsonVEVO your counter argument is extremely weak because like i said, barkley was injured almost constantly as a rocket. if he was in his healthy prime like in phoenix it wouldve been a little different. and you think artest would whatever he wanted with barkley on offense?! ARTEST IS AWFUL ON OFFENSE! phil jackson doesnt even want him to shoot anymore even when he's wide ass open.

  • @JaredWatsonVEVO and barkley was definitely faster than artest in his prime. he's a little shorter than artest, but hes abused players way bigger than him and way better defenders than artest. and to label barkley as "a 6'5 rebounder" makes you look ignorant. he could score literally at will. his fg% was amazing and like i said before, he had quick hands and averaged more steals than your most pf's. i can almost promise you that no nba player (past or present) would agree with you.

  • ron has more rings than him lol

  • Metta World Peace. LOL!!!!

  • Ron Artest in Barkley's bitch...nowhere near the same level.

  • haha ron artest smokes crack

  • Theres a reason why he's called SIR charles. Artest is good but nobody will remember his name in 20 years.

  • @Jaymasterp

    Son, Artest was involved in the biggest public relations disaster in the history of the NBA. Believe me people will remember his name in 20 years.

  • @Jaymasterp He just changed his name to Metta World Peace...I'm sure people will remember this nutjob in 60 years haha

  • Please Ron, Charles is 10x the player you'll ever be...

  • @rkc91 ron is better defender

  • chris webber = forrest whittaker

  • He is 6'5 barely

  • goodness gratious lawdy

  • i was pretty young when chuck was in the L, but i think a charles and Ron matchup in their prime would be pretty even.

  • Why the fuck are people talking about an Artest-Barkley matchup? Artest is a SF, Barkley is a PF. They wouldn't even guard each other if they played. Jordan, on the other hand, would probably destroy Artest, but who wouldn't get destroyed by MJ? Artest would probably make him work harder than most other defenders.

  • @TheNBAFanatic barkly is 6"7 and he actually played SF in philly.

  • @willieg54 correction 6'4" 

  • @htinereppa i doubt he played down low while he played if he was 6"4........

  • @htinereppa 6'4" and 3/4.

  • @willieg54 he is 6''4

  • @Antman1290 barkley? 6"4? You do know he played SF and PF all his career right? I doubt he would have been able to at that height

  • @willieg54 look it up he is 6''4 look at the avrage hight diffrence from every decade for a postion

  • @willieg54 hes 6'6 6'7 but still way udersized

  • @willieg54 he was 6"4 or 6"6 and played pf 

  • Comment removed

  • SHEESH, you young cats disgust me. Chuck would wipe the floor with Artest if they played in their primes. Sheeeeeeeesh.

  • @blackjewelz11 Punks have no respect or knowledge of history.

  • @BigdogH201 got that right. artest couldnt even hold chuck's jockstrap if he played in the 90s, he'd get murdered by the sonics then or whatever. i like the lakers but artest is a fool

  • Chris Bosh played for teh raptors because he is a mix of lizards and raptors (:

  • Queesbridge

  • Fuck barkley

  • artest: lets settle this in a golf match Barkley: no thanks lol

  • if you wanna be picky about points, they both averaged 17...they should learn the basic maths

  • @badabumbadabing1 i hope your not talking about barkley's entire career. because barkley averaged 22

  • @sunsalldayy13

    no, im talking about comparison with artest

  • where can you watch full eps online? its no longer available on nba.com

  • @audreychandlerk What's the secret? He's black.

  • People laugh but that story Ron was telling is true

  • hahaha i remember when ron artest had this interview.. it was stupid as hell.

    on a side note, if you're into sports check this out

    a m e r i c a s g o t b a l l s . c o m (without spaces ) =]

  • it is quite simple.one on one charles would destroy artest.smack him around like a bitch.in a fight charles would wipe artest of the face of the earth.and if kobe was able to score 30 or 40 points on ron mj would be scoring on triple figures

  • man this by far is one of CHUCK'S funniest moments

  • ya know Barkley was a bit over rated in my mind..i like him he is funny as hell..but as far as NBA greats he was middle range for sure..

  • im pretty sure ron artest would kick charles ass

  • @M2Ka16 I'm a Laker fan but even I'd disagree about Artest kicking Barkley's ass. Last time Shaq tried to mess with Chuck he got body slammed..

  • @LUCKYkbg that was like 10 years ago since than barkley has gained a couple of pounds

  • yall know that dude ron was talking bout died

  • damn man, he be smokin that weed

  • The TNT crew is laughing. Knowing that Artest made a complete fool of himself. Artest vs Barkley? Seriously? LOL!

  • Funny but true !!

  • THE BRIDGE IS OVER...THE BRIDGE IS OVER....LOLO

  • in his prime, barkley would have DESTROYED artest....

  • Q Borough! LMAO

  • the best guy i played with is a guy from my hood in queensbridge, but hes in jail now

  • 15yrs in the league... keep in mind that Kobe is 17yrs old when he got drafted

  • actually if I had to choose a career I would take Horry's Career over Barkley's any day of the week, and I am sure Charles would do the same.

  • @Rustaveli2k7 : rusty get over it buddy...kobe wins his 7th and 8th ring he still won't be anywhere near jordan.

  • @imsljr420 to say he won't be anywhere near him just goes to show you're an idiot and an MJ nuthugger stoner faggot. Kobe may not be better than MJ but it is damn near close, the closest anyone will ever be.

  • @xKillTheMachines : nope sorry accolades, records, stats and skills show he won't be anywhere near jordan...and has actually already failed to matching jordan...jordan accomplished everything in 15 seasons (well in my mind 13 i don't count his wizard yrs) kobe is already in his 15th season and hasn't come close to matching him....kareem is closer to jordan...& actually accomplished more but he also played more seasons...that's why i have kareem as the 2nd best player ever.

  • @imsljr420 You're obviously a hater, if you ask anyone that actually knows basketball would say Kobe is the closest thing to MJ. Kobe has his share of records and accomplishments and to say he's not close to MJ skill-wise proves once again you're a fucking retarded hater. I'm not saying he's better than Jordan, but he's damn close and will go down as one of the greatest of all time whether you like it or not. Get over yourself and just accept it.

  • @xKillTheMachines : i currently have kobe #9 on my all-time greatest list & #2 at SG (just my opinion becuase there's others who have west & robertson above kobe) ...i didn't say kobe doesn't have records or accomplishments i just said they're nowhere near MJ's ...skill wise all he has ove jordan is dribbling (even though he turns the ball over more & gets less assist) and shooting (even though his field goal % isn't as good as jordan's) and the media has to say hes close to jordan 4 ratings

  • @imsljr420 well why don't they say that Wade is close to Jordan? would that not bring ratings? no it would not because people Know wade is not even close, why don't they say Lebron is close to Jordan? because again they can not sell that because he is nowhere close, reason kobe keeps coming up with MJ is because he IS CLOSE and there is a CASE that he is as good and has chance to be better when he is done, Just deal with it man there is nothing you can do, Coaches, GM's and players confirm this.

  • @Rustaveli2k7 : nope...only his fans confirm this lol

  • theyre bogus for talkin shit about michael chatsfield, he died

    but the video is awesomely funny

  • @malakismail2184 it was before he died still funny tho

  • @MELLYMEL510 hell yea lol

  • you dont get to talk about hair when you're bald lol.

  • Ron Artest looks like a mix of a lizard and raptor...

    He should play for the RAPTORS!?

  • @ChukkaDane if that's so Charles Barkley should play for the Nuggets

  • everybody hates artest

  • lool charles is just like in his head, "fuck i wish i hadnt put on these all these pounds id go down there and beat ron's ass right now in a game"

  • @seb336 Barkley was on the original dream team and was the MVP of that team. In no way shape or form would Artest of even made that team let alone be it's MVP

  • @BroomeBlocker4 amen.

  • Q BOROUGH!

  • I respect the fact that it isn't easy to win a ring... and NOBODY wins one by themselves. That said... I love how Artest OWNED Barkley by calling him over rated. ROFLMAO.

    Not that Barkley wasn't a great player, but just the fact that Ron Artest is simply saying here hey.... I don't know how great that motherfucker was but I know for DAMN SURE That motherfucker ain't better than ME!!! in so many words. LMAO. Gotta love it.

  • @seb336

    How many gold medals does Artest have? Cuz a gold medal means more than a ring and Barkley has 2.

  • 90s players > 2000s players

  • @Craptron2000 80's players > 90's players

  • who cares,ron is always high nothing he says is freal everything is a joke bout him hes too chills.great player

  • you know why its so funny, its becasue chris ernie and kenny cant take it seriously and ron artest is serious. Whats funny is that charely beat karl malone and kemp in h2h matchups in the playoffs and ron all hes done is run into the crowd and tried to steal old ladies bags and maybe a wig with that haircut.

  • hahaha you guys are stupid taking this all serious, it was all a joke, they always mess like that with charles

  • ron artest have more fucking championship rings than barkley bitch

  • @Wasani100 ROBBERT HORRY HAS 7 AND SANDRS HAS 8 RINGS.ARE THE BETTER THAN BARKLEY TO?BARKLEY IS THE BEST PF EVER.

    1)BARKLEY

    2)K.MALONE

    3)DUNCAN

    4)E.HAYES

    5)PETTIT

  • @AdreasTheGreat Duncan is the Greatest PF ever

  • @xIISuPeRMaN WHY IS THAT?STATISTACALY AND IN SKILLS BARKLEY AND MALONE WERE BETTER!BETTER SCORER,REBOUNDER.BALLHANDER,PA­SSER,STEALER!DUNCAN IS BETTER ONLY IN BLOCKS!THE RINGS DOES N'T MAKE A PLAYER GREAT!IVERSON WAS THE 2ND BEST PLAYER IN 00'S(ONLY SHAQ AND KOBE WERE BETTER).WILT WIN ONLY 2 RINGS AND HORRY 7!

  • @AdreasTheGreat I'll tell you what separates Duncan from these 2 he's a better Leader Fundamentals win championships no one does it better he has 2 MVP's and 3 Finals MVP's to show for it and he might be the hardest working player in the League behind Kobe . Kevin Durant said it best Hard Work beats talent that does'nt work hard. And you saying there better passers he's the best at passing out of the post and Rebounding ? Duncan has been averaging 10 a game his whole carrer . Chuck said hes best

  • @xIISuPeRMaN HE IS MAYBE BETTER LEADER ALTHOUGH THEIR ONLY SERIOUS COMPETITOR WAS LAKERS UNTIL 2004 AND THEN DALLAS AND PHOENIX!BUT BARKLEY WAS MORE COMPLETE AS A PLAYER.BETTER SCORER,REBOUNDER,PASSER.FASTER AND WAY BETTER BALLHANDLER.BARKLEY FACED THOSE BULLS,ROCKETS ,SPURS,SHEATLE,UTAH AND PORTLANT THAT WERE REALLY GREAT TEAMS! DUNCAN IS GREAT BUT STATS DON'T LIE !

    

  • @xIISuPeRMaN BARKLEY PLAYED 16 SEASON AND AVERAGED 10PLUS IN 15 OF THEM!ONLY IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON DID N'T.HE HAD 8.6 IN 28.5 MIN.SINCE M.MALONE(TOP 5 REBOUNDER EVER) WAS STILL IN HIS PRIME!NOT BAD FOR A GUY 6.6(MAYBE SHORTER) THAT FACED GREAT CENTERS!DUMCAN FACED ONLY SHAQ,GARNETT AND HOWARD!

  • @xIISuPeRMaN Agreed. Duncan should be in the top 10 maybe top 20 (pushing it) on any basketball head's all time list.

  • does ron ron even think before he says sumthin. does he even think at all?

  • I find it funny that Ron says that barkley was over rated the dude average over 20 points per game and 10 rebounds per game FOR HIS CARRIER!

    Barkely could do everything well all ron got is 3 point shot and defense

  • at least he has hair :DDD

  • can't believe some people ACTUALLY think Artest is better than Barkley.. wow..

    in that case Sasha Vujacic is better than Karl Malone and John Stockton and Jason Kidd COMBINED!!

    whew.. thinking is what separate us from animals..

  • Well the proof is in the pudding....Artest has the ring man so yall can stop ridin Charles "I Hate On Everyone Who Has A Ring" Barkley.He was great,but he had some chinks in that armor....ask Lebron,an MVP award means absolutley nothing without the ring to go with it so Barley stay seated.

  • @MrImDaManShawty are you trying to say artest is better than barkley? i hope not because that is absolutely ridiculous. you cant even say charles was hating on the ron artest who has a ring because when charles said what was in the video artest didnt win the championship yet.

  • is webber high?

  • @skipper376 yes.

  • Ron Artest= asshole who admits to getting drunk at halftime and faught fans at a game.

    Charles barkley=basketball legend who Is famous for being to like-able

    artest doesnt have shit on him

  • @SethDis1337 how you gona say his an asshole

    the dude is raffeling his CHAMPIONSHIP RING the thing barkley dosent have...

    to help out kids that have mental help

    so ya hes an asshole with a RING

  • ron is a fuckin pimp he eaty all those dudes

  • Gotta love Craig Sager "word from the court.."

  • Artest is dead if he was in Charles' time. Charles' long elbows will destroy his fouls

  • Charles had series of injuries when he was in Houston... Still he had a 16.5 PPG... Nowhere in Charles' league

  • @partyvido ask any player any coach or any owner to tell you what do they play for, do they say they play for MVP's? nope ppg average? nope although there are those who clearly will and should lead the team in scoring, do they play for fg%? nope nothing, they all will tell you they play for championship.

    so more rings always trump any average, or MVP, or even scoring titles, since one person plays in a system and is committed to WINNING not

    getting individual awards.

  • @Rustaveli2k7 so your saying that when it comes to comparing two players individual accolades are worthless and what the team does is the only thing that matters? in that case adam morris is better then lebron james right??

  • @Mrtoomzy no don't play stupid adam Morisson is not better than Lebron because he has ring, because he had no impact on his Team, however Leader or Leaders of the team who gets his team championship is always better than someone who has little better individual stats who can not find the way to get his Team a win, so if Lebron makes his Team so much better where is the proof? he had 60+ win team for 2 seasons and was unable to even get to Finals, everyone remembers winning not FG%

  • @Rustaveli2k7 i dont agree at all that championships define a players skill when it comes to player vs player the amount of rings on his finger is worthless. By your standards you are single handedly ruling out all the famous nba players who have made more of an impact on the game then some championship winners ever have due to the fact that they were unlucky enough to not have great players surrounding them. To disregard individual achievments is absurd

  • @Mrtoomzy we are not disregarding individual stats, for example difference between Lebron and Morison is huge so one can look at that, but when one player shoots 45%fg and other shoots 49%fg, yet 45% player has been able to hit numerous clutch shots and has helped team win championship is always better than 49% fg player who can not, again not discounting individual stats, but Rings are also individual accomplishment as well as a team accomplishment, it's about winning not individual stats.

  • @Rustaveli2k7 yup, agreed =) nice talking with ya

  • @Rustaveli2k7 So Adam Morrison is better than Charles Barkley?....... great logic

  • @toby81001 nope wrong Logic because stat and minute differences between them is too high they do not compare, I love how some people go in stupid shell and trying to come up with excuse how SOMEHOW Championships do not matter lol what world you people live in?

  • @Rustaveli2k7 "so more rings always trump any average, or MVP, or even scoring titles, since one person plays in a system and is committed to WINNING not getting individual awards"

    again.... by your reasoning Robert Horry had a better career than Charles Barkley because Horry has 7 rings compared to Barkley's 0 rings and one MVP.

    Is what I'm saying valid in your perspective?

  • @toby81001 hah, you conveniently ignored what I said above, again when stats are close, winner with a ring always trumps stat differences, you have to compare players who are comparable, 45%FG shooter who wins rings is always gonna be better than 50% Fg shooter who can not.

    in case of Horry his stats are far down so he can not be compared with team leaders and go to guys, again I love how you people go in to shell trying to come up with some stupid ideas, championships define greatness.

  • @Rustaveli2k7 Ok, so can you make the case that Gary Payton had a better career than John Stockton. They both are top 10 greatest point guards ever. Both have been to the finals twice. Payton has one ring, Stockton 0. So who which had the better career? I would argue John Stockton, even though Gary has a ring he got it on his way out. Stockton was a far better passer and leader, both have great numbers but Stockton has more All-NBA appearances. What do you think?

  • @toby81001 I don't know man that's a tough one, when did GP win a ring again?

  • @Rustaveli2k7 He won it in 06 with Wade and Shaq on the Heat

  • @toby81001 I am sorry, but I don't count that ring, not because he was with Miami, but that was a fluke season that's when NBA robbed Mavs in broad day light, Mavs was the best Team that year, refs made wade unstoppable by calling fouls if you were even touching him, he shot like 6-8 ft's on touch fouls in last seconds of Finals while Dirk was hitting improbable FG's on another end getting fouled every time, it was all fluke confirmed by them getting swept by Bulls next year.

  • @Rustaveli2k7 Post of the year !!!!!!!!

  • Artest shouldnt hate on Barkley...cuz

    in Barkleys prime...he'd eat artest if they matched up...

    theres no way artest can stop him....

  • @partyvido who cares how long it took, he is working for it and earning it, Mj walked away from Game TWICE, Kobe has never walked away from the Game, that might come back to hunt MJ, he might no be greatest NOW, but lets talk in couple more years.

  • Ron Ron!! tell it like it is.

  • LMAOOOO Relax it or do something ....... artest is a good defender but kill yourself if you think hes better then sir charles at basketball

  • Barkley was great but he didnt play d....

  • charles barkley is the dumbest man in the world..I SWEAR TO GOD

  • They make fun of Ron Ron,yet Ron Ron now has something both C Webb and Sir Charles can only dream of having, and thats an NBA championship.

  • Yall on my dick hard as shit

  • @pacman116 putang ina mo gago.

  • I don't totally disagree with Artest, because I do feel Barkley is a bit overrated and he is not a good defensive player... but I think when Chuck was at his prime, he could drop 30-40 on Artest easily... Just because he was one hell of a player..

  • artest is the best

  • Artest winning a championship really proves nothing considering he joined up with an established championship team on a league that absolutely no way even remotely was as dominant or as good as the era that Barkley played in.

    If Ron was playing against a Prime MJ w/ the Bulls in the early 90's when Barkley was at his peak, Ron would have had No Rings to show for it either. A championship doesn't hold as much here because Barkley's career speaks absolute volumes, while Artest does not.

  • @TrueSephiros before i say these comments let me clarify that i am NOT a laker fan. ok so since we got that out of the way, artest is obviously not going to go down as a top 50 nba player like barkley did. Winning a championship for ron isn't about building legacy so to say. It is about redemption. It is about being one of the most blackballed players in nba history (self inflicted) to make amends and prove that he can be in a team concept and help a team win. thats what its about for ron.

  • @TrueSephiros But ya to your other point of course ya barkley is obviously the better player. he is imo a top 10 PF all time. he has been the man on his team and would completely dominate some teams' frontlines. Artest is nowhere near the offensive player that charles was and was nowhere near as dominant for a long stretch of time. I will give artest his due in being one of the best defenders of his era and being a well rounded out player but ya definitely not better than charles.

  • @TrueSephiros Perfect Explanation

  • Being on a championship team doesent make you a legend or better than any other player. Its a TEAM sport. Barkley was a better player than Artest.

  • @13ruffy13 Artest left his mark during the Finals enough for him to say he earned his Championship.

  • barkeley never makes sense his predictions are wrong 100 percent of the time lol

  • Just because you win a title does not mean you are some how better than everyone else.

  • I'm like Kobe Bryant I ONLY care about the rings not about the hall of fame crap!!! What good is it if your in the hall of fame but never reached your goal and got a ring??????!!!!
