Charles Barkley 44 pts, 24 reb, western finals 1993,suns vs sonics game 7 

I'll never forget 93 Suns. Shining uniforms, cool Air Force Max, and MVP Chuck was tough af

90s basketball is so much FUN to watch for me! Charles Barkley was a man amongst boys in his MVP year in 1993! 🔥

Just one thing - a career rebounds average, better than Hakeem, Ewing, Robinson and Shaq ! A BEAST!

NBA on NBC were classics...abc/espn sucks tnt is cool tho

and 24 rebounds! Fuck! At 6'5????

Someone show this to Mr. Triple Single Draymond...Charles would tear Draymond apart dawg 💪🏽

to JOEL EMBIID This is how you play a GAME 7

This playoff performance by Barkley never gets mentioned when lists are put together for greatest playoff performances of all time. How can a 44pts 24 rebound performance in a conference finals game 7 (To get to the Finals!) Not make any said lists? What's funny is you see LeBron James all up and down those types of lists, but I would put this performance up against any playoff performance in LeBron's career!! And furthermore..in game 5 of this same series, he had a 43pt, 15 Rebound, 10 Assists performance.. equally as impressive!

Charles doing this against Shawn Kemp just showed what a beast he was. He had a motor that wouldn't stop. Granted, Kemp didn't really peak till about '96, but he was good at this point. Barkley was the best forward in the game at the time this game was played... and he was only about 6'5". This is back when men used to play in the NBA.

When basketball was basketball. None of the flops, crying, and iso-ball.

Dam I miss those days. The players seemed like Gods back then. Barkley was so unstoppable it was almost unfair.

Charles Barkley all heart as a player.

Even barkley himself said that was the best game he had played in his career. He is legit and sometimes he mentioned the big men can't play in this era. This is a textbook video for dwight and blake

Barkley literally DOMINATED. He schooled Kemp.

Any fool that says Charles shouldn't be in the Hall Of Fame doesn't know basketball and should be forced to watch this video. Probably the most badassed player ever.

Barkley had Zero Problems Against Rodman. Maybe When He Was With Houston Old, Overweight and Injured but Before that Barkley used to Dominate Rodman with Ease. Barkley averaged 23.7 PPG on 53.3% FG, 13 RPG and 3.7 APG vs Rodman for his Whole Career.

That intro… that music… still gives me goosebumps and gets me hyped even after decades later and already knowing the outcome of the game.

im 18 live in phoenix arizona the only seasons i liked outa the suns era in the 2000s and 2010s, were 2005-2007 and 2010. my dad and me were born in az and raised and pure suns fans my dad said when barkley came here to phoenix everyone loved the suns and he told me 2005-2008 were good too but the 90s suns were better to watch i agree i look at the old highlights and the nba looks so much fun back then then now

I love the play at 10:09. The whole Suns team runs back and Chuck does it all alone. Kemp was awesome but Barkley is top 10 All Time.

Chuck makes everyone look soft, plays like a real man.

The good ole days of the NBA. Barkley was such a dominating player, it's easy to forget just how great of a player he was, definitely one of the best to ever play.

This was after a 43/15 in Game 5 that Phoenix needed every bit of because Seattle played great. Barkley just said 'we're not losing this game'...44/24, just mind boggling. And he was 6'4 1/2" man!

Youngsters don't realise how good Charles Barkley was in his prime. You don't win the regular season MVP award for nothing.

Man that dunk that they replayed at 5:05 WOW!! and people talk about how much LeBron would have dominated back in the 90s Barkley just cleared out 6'10 Shawn Kemp.. Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, Karl Malone, Shawn Kemp, Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason there was some big buff guys playing in the 90s the guys playing today are actually skinnier

at 6'5" sir charles is truly the pound for pound king of basketball

Damn, you can feel the energy in this clash. Missing those days.

Barkley is the greatest power forward of all time. He grabbed like 20 plus rebounds , that's so crazy!

Charles is a legend absolute legend

Barkley was a monster.. an athletic freak.. it's hard to believe he only went to the finals once

Chuck is the best PF to have ever play that game.

This is real NBA b-ball! Not that soft pinky touching foul crap of today! Sad thing is people like Payton can't talk they crap on the court to mentally weaken there opponent. You can't even look the wrong freaking way at your opponent!!! Freaking sad, but they made sure Kobe Bryant openly welcomed the first openly gay player to NBA. At least D. Rodman played like a real man! By the way, im 40 and grew up watching Barkley. He was one if the best.

7:19 Charles Barkley gets the rebound and as he’s swinging his arms around to protect the ball, Gary Payton’s head bounces back and forth like a boxing speed bag.

Barkley and Payton talking to each other.. lol.

He ate Kemps heart this night

IMO the golden era of NBA basketball...the league had 6 strong strong teams. Suns, Sonics, rockets in west and Bulls, Knicks, Cavs in the East..You could probably add Portland in there..take Jordan and the bulls out of the equation and you had 5 championship teams...the Jazz were also strong and Celtics were decent..strong TEAMS..modern NBA doesn't compare any of these teams would steam roll the league now.

Every time Barkley did one of his classic 2-hand tomahawk power dunks I thought the backboard was gonna come down.

Barkley was better than Malone. If he wasn't ringless id say he's the best PF of all time. Gotta give the edge to Duncan tho

Oh how quickly we forget how good Barkley was !!!

one thing you can say mj never had 44 pts and 24 rebs

Damn that NBA on NBC music brings back memories. Love that sound.

This is why we call him Sir Charles.

Barkley's best season of his career.

Barkley the best in this times

Barkley was the 2nd best player in the entire NBA back then...just a great player. If Paxton misses that shot, he may have had his title.

The 90s was the peak of nba havin the most best teams that eva was. Suns were the best they ever was, the sonics was the best there ever was, the lakers were the best they ever were especially if you carried whay they did in the 80s with them, the celtics was the best they ever will be, the hawks was the best they ever could be, even the cavs of the 90s might have beaten. The cavs of 2016(maybe). We will give it to the cavs of 21 century but close. The rockets was the best they ever be, the warriors was best they ever be but you gotta give it to the 21 centu warriors. The jazz was the best they ever be, the kings was the best they ever be but had to take that same 99 team into 2002 but they had the same damn team an talent in 99. The bulls was the best they ever be, the knicks was tha fuckin best they ever be, the orlando fuckin magic was the best they ever be!!!! I give it to heat of 21 century but the heat was the best they ever be. The clippers was the worst they ever be so clippers in 21 century got improvment. Fuck the raptors an grizzlies of 90s cuz the didnt start till 96. The spurs was the best they ever be the 1999 spurs blew the season up an fuckin sweep threw playoffs like nothin, the pistons was the best they ever be the 1990 pistons. The 76ers was best they ever been even though they not make finals they had all that comp. The 76ers from 90-92 was best. The blazers were the best they ever be in 90s.

Scary to think he was already a little slower by this time

he was like a mix between westbrook and blake griffin

Those Sonic uniforms were amazing. I'm a Piston fan but miss having Seattle in the league.

These days I have never seen a power forward like Sir CHarles... Todays Big men are afriad to enter inside the Paint. (Sorry My Terrible English i am not in high Grade in my English subject)

He's definitely 6'4'. I remember a broadcaster once talking about him saying he's not even 6"5" without his shoes on.

This was the first time I heard MVP and realized how great Chuck was and how much Phoenix appreciated him.

Shawn Kemp got punked by Barkley in this game.

Chuck says this is his best ever game cause of the magnitude. Game 7 to put you into the Finals and he came up HUGE.

gotta give it to him for a six six guy could rebound like no other. him and rodman had all the hustle points although they never put them in stats.

I think Draymond Green has NO CHANCE with 1993 Barkley. Unless you're telling me Green is a better player than prime Shawn Kemp. And even that isn't enough to stop Sir Charles

Charles Barkley was in his absolute prime in this year. 1993 MVP winner.

His skills had improved, his body wasn't what it used to be

He was a monster!!

Charles was on of can player one of can personality and one of a can warrior en the field of battle , he deserve at very least respect ✊

This Charles Barkley guy must be a top 75 NBA player of all time.

I think this might have been Barkley's best game all time!

Uno de los mejores jugadores de la historia!!!! Reconocido por su estilo agresivo de jugar y enfrentar a sus rivales!!!

Who also misses Jeff Munn as PA announcer for either the Suns or Diamondbacks?

That standing ovation he got after that offensive rebound at 9:06... Chills...

hes the greatest power forward ever

If it wasn’t for MJ, Charles would have definitely been an NBA champion. It took the greatest of all time and the Bulls to stop him.

Chuck knows how to maximize his big upperbody and huge butt

damn ! I miss when the NBA was a little tougher.. now everybodys ass is best friends on facebook ..

24 rebounds??? damn!!

30 years later george karl looks exactly the same

Love the 90's animations in the Suns intro..

I just don't think you can describe the MVP winner as a player in decline. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Barkley was simply AMAZING in the '93 Playoffs and Finals included. Unfortunately, for him he ran into the Greatest player of All-time... Side note: Kevin Johnson and Tom Chambers should be in the HOF.

Skip Bayless had the nerve to say that Draymond Green is better! What a fool!!!

Imagine Barkley playing stretch 5 in the league today. He would be a way better version of Draymond.

Barkley took them young KATS to school just an amazing performance.

era en fenomeno.. se hecha de menos en este tiempo... este tipo de talento hoy en dia en la nba

goddamn Barkley utterly dominated Kemp. Took and rebound from him then put him in the weight room disqualifying Kemp from the game. I forgot about this omg

At 6’5 with an wilt chamberlain’s 44 24 stat line game 7 to go to the finals Barkley was an monster he would absolutely dominate today game!!

Someone needs to force Deandre Ayton to watch this, very carefully. Perhaps he’ll learn how to play with attitude instead of playing like a down pillow.

Barkley was so lethal with his strength, explosiveness and long arms. The Sonics could hardly get a rebond off him in this game. And that dunk at 4:46 he nearly tore the rim off . just look at those replays!

Thee Best PF of All Time

Just to clear things up, Phoenix used the intro before Chicago did.

If it's was not for Jordan Barkley would have won the the championship in 1993

Put the NBA on NBC and CBS while TNT shows Thursday night and TBS has Wednesday and Friday nights NBA games Adam Silver please not ABC/ESPN

Good ol days...Barkley went off and they had a real great squad. Dan Marjele, Johnson, Ainge, Chambers...the Bulls just were a better team...

My favorite power forward ever I started watching basketball because of Barkley

barkleys 6-6... i thought at least 6-8, wow he deserves even more credit for being a guard sized post player

Man, what a great game and series. Seattle was really good but Chuck put the team on his back in Game 7 and refused to lose. So much fun to be a Suns fan back then.

Who knew that this would be the Suns last home playoff win in the '93 Playoffs.

He wasn't in decline in 93. It was his 9th season in the league, and up until that season, it was his 4th best year for scoring, and 4th best year for rebounds. Hardly the stats for a player in decline. He started declining in 96-97 when he went to Houston. Look at the numbers.

The 90s. The nbc intro. The real toughness of the game. Goosebumps

Sir Charles was fast damn @3:36

Haha Gary Payton trash talking to Barkley. Anyway, great vid.

2k REALLY needs to put Sir Charles jumpshot and free throw animation in their game.

Barkley is the mike tyson of basketball he was more than a simply pf he can pass shoot allaround player his the best pf ever for his size!

Charles Barkley sin duda de los mejores delanteros de la nba, no gano las finales por el respeto hacia jordan, de lo contrario si hubiera ganado las finales,

And all you millenials wonder why this guy talks so much? Has so much to say? Charles Barkley, when it counted left it all on the floor! He was a BEAST who was undersized, but "A VERY POWERFUL YOUNG MAN"! I'm talking about *Natural Strength*, not weight room strength. Power, Strength, Quickness and Agility! Able to jump with 7 footers, and Get Up Quicker and they'd land before him! Look at the last foul on Shawn Kemp. That's just sheer power and strength! Remember the Terminator? "HE CAN'T BE BARGAINED WITH! HE CAN'T BE REASONED WITH! HE DOESN'T FEEL PITY, OR PAIN OR REMORSE, OR FEAR AND HE ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU ARE _ _ _ _ !!!!!! 44 AND 22! AMAZINGLY POWERFUL 💪 ATHELETE WITH A WILL AND DESIRE TO CONCUR EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IN FRONT OF HIM 👊💥🏀💯...

The man won the MVP when MJ was in his absolute prime. That's not a small feat. Draymond needs to shut up.

Charkles was a BEAST. goddamn.
