Charles Barkley 28/11/4/2/3 vs Lakers 1993 (WC1st Round, Game 4)

Paul Westphal guaranteed that the Suns would win the series ( win both games at the Western Forum and come back to the America West Arena to finish them off) after being down 0-2 at home. Sir Charles Barkley delivers a solid performance to tie the series two a piece.

Despite not having Kevin Mchale`s incredible moves down the post, Barkley was the best power forward I`ve ever seen. During his prime only MJ, Bird and Magic were better.

@mikjord I would say only MJ & Hakeem where better as individual players but Bird and Magic where better at making others better, then MJ and Charles.

@mikjord Chuck later on developed as good post moves as McHale despite him not having the 6`10 frame and 8 ft wingspam. What he had over McHale was a 1step and power move that was unstoppable. Also his "face up mid range shooting game with no leap" (similar to Bird) was probably the best ever. He was also too strong to be guarded with his back to u, he kept pushing you to the basket while u had 2 hands on him and the defenders legs would bend backwards. He also had the GOAT Post Spin Move

Talento y potencia en estado puro ¡¡¡ No llegar a los 2 metros y plantar cara en la pintura, solo está al alcance de los más grandes ... y Barkley está entre los 5 mejores power-forwars de la historia en la NBA.

[Defender80s]

@toneflinski Asi es y cuando sano mejor que Karl Malone.

[MerkinMuffly]

Nice passing by Bark

[Defender80s]

@MerkinMuffly Indeed. The GOAT Passing PF.

Him and Larry...THEE BEST FORWARDS I`VE EVER SEEN

[richardkennard]

i remember thinking this was barkleys best team in his entire career, if he doesnt win a ring in '93 then he'll never win one..........

[tubenachos]

Once upon a time Divac was THE best Laker for a couple years.
