Sir Charles Barkley (Part 1)

Follow the story of 'Sir' Charles Barkley, the Hall of Fame power forward for the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets.

"When the conversation turns to the exploits of Barkley, many people think first of the always entertaining, sometimes outrageous running commentary on basketball and life he provided throughout his celebrated 16-year NBA career.

As a player he was the greatest anomaly in basketball history. Listed at 6-6, but probably actually closer to 6-4, he played power forward as well as anyone. Barkley brought vitality, attitude and a host of skills to professional basketball." - NBA.com

[theehibachi]

You have a point, but that doesn't stop him from being a great player. He just couldn't get over the hump.

The NBA will never be the same :(

None of these players bring chills to my body.

NBA of today got no Heart!

@Godsprimechoice That he did. But I think Phoenix could have had a chance of winning in 93, but they blew it big time in Game 6. The funny thing is, the exact same thing happened to Jazz in 98 Finals. They had a chance to take it to Game 7, but blew it in the final 40 sec.

[JaviCabezas]

@zedrich23 LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony, Steve Nash and many more don't have won a championship either, and they are all great players

Barkley is definitely Top 2 or 3 at his position in NBA history and #1 if you're talking pound-for-pound. My favorite power forward by far and he could do it all when he chose to. One of the most intense competitors ever, he just had the misfortune of competing against that bloodthirsty assassin, Michael Jordan. He still got an Olympic Gold Medal out of the deal and a League MVP award, which is more than what most guys win.
