He'll say ANYTHING for free food.

Charles just likes to run his mouth. Anyone that takes Barkley seriously is out of touch. Sir Charles gets his checks by saying controversial things, just like Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith. Yeah, Barkley has no rings because he was too lazy and too fat to really work out. He wasn't a great leader but he was a great player. His teams (Philly 1990, Phoenix 1993) were never strong enough to beat Jordan because Barkley wasn't mentally tough and hardcore against Mike. Love4Jordan=BarkleyNoRings.

Hey Chuck, you got a couple of things missing from your ring fingers. That's turrible. Laimbeer doesn't seem to have that problem.

Please visit the videos maybe where Barkely headlocks Bird while Dr. J beats him. Or maybe when he spits on the little girl. Chales should point out on league scoring averages etc. Most the clowns didn't care if they won or lost, just pay me to show up and sling up some unchallenged shots, or at least make it look challenged.

@Kenny414G Thomas didn't make the team because most of the team didn't want him on there. I agree, Pistons did have a good defense though.

[Flipper79able]

@Joebob034 So what? Your not a very good listener are you? Barkley wasn't saying he was better or greater than the Pistons. He was in the NBA and could see as well as anyone who plays good defense and who doesn't....you don't need a championship ring for that. Your probably a Detroit fan and took it personally but Barkley's right. Smacking someone does not equal good defense. Good defense is clean blocks and steals...getting rebounds, ect. Don't hate the player hate the game.

[Kenny414G]

@ranmanplan3000 Ok im just sick of people hating on the bad boys. I can see why people hate Laimbeer. But hating on Thomas, Dumars, and Salley makes no sense to me. And the reason why Thomas never started was because Magic was the starting PG. I mean Thomas is great but not as good as Magic. BTW are you a Bulls fan?

[ranmanplan3000]

@Kenny414G btw i love rodman. lol

[ranmanplan3000]

@Kenny414G lol stfu. thomas never started on the dream team shut up. i respect the game. i watched enough 80s ball to know that the pistons played like sum niggs. dude settle down if u like them like them. i aint trying to change your opinion man.

[Kenny414G]

@ranmanplan3000 LOL learn the sport??? you need to learn the sport. The Pistons would play hard defense so that the other team sometimes would get distracted and take them off there game. And no Pistons on the dream team??? Maybe you havent heard of a guy named ISIAH THOMAS!!! And the Pistons defense was amazing they only allowed about 87 points a game on average than. Dumars, Laimbeer, Thomas, Rodman, Salley, Mahorn, and Johnson all played amazing defense. You need to learn to respect the game

[ranmanplan3000]

@Kenny414G you know nothing. barkley was on the dream team and played the best out of all of them. i don't remember any piston thugs playing on that team. BTW rodman is the only one that can play defense on those pistons..... the rest played like thugs and taught rodman how to play like a thug with his great defense talent. i trust the words of a NBA player anyday over a bias youtuber. learn the sport and respect it.
