CHARLES BARKLEY | 75 Stories 💎 

Imagine being called the "round mound of rebound" at 6'4. That's only an inch taller than Ja Morant or Steph. These guys like Chuck and Rodman are a different breed. Definitely deserving to be at the all time 75 list.

I cannot possibly describe the impact that Charles and the '92-93 Suns team had on The Valley (Phoenix area). My dad was a pilot for America West Airlines at the time, and they were going out of business and my dad was extremely close to losing his job (after being demoted due to the company filing for bankruptcy) - but them being the official sponsor of The Suns boosted their business and literally pulled them out of bankruptcy. Charles Barkley was so good...he saved thousands of jobs (and families) that year.

Take notes kids. This is how most people remember Charles Barkley, not the TNT version you see 😂

He has 3 inductions into the BBHOF. One as a player, one as a member of The Dream Team, and one as a member of NBA on TNT.

I always said Barkley is the George Foreman of the NBA. Raw power with mad skills.

Chuck was an absolute beast!!

The explosiveness was insane

I was born in 1982 and sir Charles was playing for the sixers when I watched my very first nba game with my grandpop and he ended up be my favorite player and to this day I’m a die hard 76ers fan!!! But when Barkley was playing whatever team he was on that was my team cause of him!!! There will never be another guy like chuck lol

Charles' leaping ability isn't discussed enough. While he was big, he kept that weight down enough to still lend him the power. He was barely taller than a PG, and could outboard centers. Pretty astounding.

That's why Kenny the Jet Smith has to introduce every player that gets inducted somewhere or gets an award in something. He just expreses facts in well spoken english with passion. Very underrated narrator and analyst.

This is the best description of Barkley ever. None of it made any sense. I loved MJ, Kareem and all the greats from that era, but Charles was my favorite. Played his prime in a terrible team, still winning 50+ games at times. Had to be double teamed as soon as he touched the ball. Man would be unstoppable today.

It's great to see the respect Shaq has for Chuck despite all their playful trash talk. And he didn't even bring up the rings!

The Round (and Loud😂) Mound of Rebound. Chuck is a top 10 power forwards to ever play💪🏾

I think he’s the best PF ever. Every other guy above him had help in ways he just did not.

When Isiah talks about how crazy it was to see Barkley's athleticism and hops even though he was so big, sounds just like Zion! So glad this generation gets to have that experience of Barkley with Zion.

The man that you shouldn't take him as a role-model. Hella great for non-champ player, hella great for a mound of rebound.

Charles always is a idol of mine he doesn't give no shit and was always straight to the point and in his shoes

Being a 76ers fan I have been blessed to see real NBA game-changers through my life. It started with Doc. There was NO one like him when he arrived in Philly. The combination of grace and power (his dunks were vicious) was one-of-a-kind. Then Charles, well he looked like an out-of-shape football player. But, he was tenacious! He was a top athlete. Then AI, the opposite of Charles physically. The same 100% drive as Barkley and the fashion, swag, and style of a modern-day Dr.J. Now we have Embiid. Damn incredible. Also, we had Wilt but I wasn't around for him. The 6ers have had real game-changers every decade for 50 years.

Charles 🔥🔥

CB was a brute! Im a PF fan guy and surely he is on my all time fave. If LJ didnt injured that back he can be like Chuck

One of the best all around players, EVER. Scoring, rebounds, defense, assists, team leadership, toughness, clutch.

I have to remind myself that it's been over twenty years since Chuck played his last game,so there's a entire generation that never got to see him play and only seen him on TNT. I'm glad they get to see stuff like this to teach them why he's called Sir Charles

Charles barkley was an absolute beast...

Loved that kenny and shaq where in this video

I hope this is some motivation for Zion.

the round mound of rebound

There will NEVER be a 6"5 and below guy thats grabbing 33 rebounds in a single game ever again

I was growing up hating barkley. I was hating him because of his mad skills in an undersized body. They cant stop him.

Charles Barkley was a relentless, physical, nasty, reckless, powerful, explosive basketball player. He was absolutely ruthless snatching rebounds off the backboards. He was a freak of nature 😳

Sir Charles 🏀🏀🏀

Best suns player ever.

My favorite PF Chuck was a Beast 💪

and the guy was ferocious... tooth and claw whatever.. would stand his ground never backs down to a fight.. aint that a beast!

I don't think people these days know how much of a BEAST Charles was.

Sir Charles Barkley is the very definition of Rare Talent and Raw Physical Strength. Isiah just cant describe the greatness of chuck 🤣

He was my favorite player back then. I had a HUGE poster in my bedroom wall of him He didnt win any nba titles , but he was the top scorer of the 1992 usa dream team. The best basketball team ever. That says a lot of how good he was

Charles' playing was a thing of beauty to behold. Philly loves Chuck!

Great man, great player I love him because he is real.

Waiting for this one and it's here finally

My Favorite player of all time! When i was allowed to sit next to him and talk to him at a Cubs game was one of the biggest honors of my life!

Charles Barkley was a Game changer ,just that 💎🏀

LOL Isaiah still sounds stunned.

the valley of the Sun and the State of Arizona will always love Charles Barkley what he did for the Phoenix Suns

crazy to think ppl especially the younger folks see him as the crazy tv guy but man......this guy was a beast of a player and zeke was right he had fun playing...him and MJ were the best players on the dream team in 92.

Charles Barkley unstoppable he's PRIME 🔥🔥🔥

Broadcasting 🐐 and hell of a player

Sir Charles is one of my all time favorite NBA players

U da man Chuck 🔥🔥🔥

At 6'4 he is easily the most athletic basketballer of all time. He was a BEAST! Most of you all think of him as the goofy fat man laughing at them big ol woman in San Antonio but at his prime, he was an all time great

It’s gonna be a sad day when he leaves the tnt crew … nevertheless, that won’t be his legacy … in spite of never witnessing him play, he was a monster in the post

Also he played at the Summer Olympics for 🇺🇸 and he won back-to-back for a gold medalist (Barcelona 1992 & Atlanta 1996). 🥇

Some guys are just a freak of nature. He was one of them. He was unstoppable like Jordan at times. Had he had the will power to stay in tip top shape he may have gotten a championship.

Fantastic player/broadcaster/human being.

Them big ol’ women in San Antonio are going to hit dislike. Eating them churros.

chuck while he was playing was the body type of a 2022 d line or outside linebacker

Barkley is one of a handful of guys who truly did "break the mold" when it came to playing a position: him, Magic, Bird, and Akeem come to mind. In my mind, he is the best power forward of all time (I consider Tim Duncan a center, but even so, I'd take Barkley over him).

Greatest finisher at the rim of all time!

When I first saw Zion's game, I immediately thought Charles Barkley 2.0... if Zion can get to an ideal weight and be more conservative with his explosiveness, he has the chance to stand out as one of the greats.

Love him on and off the court!

I used to love watching Charles Barkley do that move where you would "pull the chair" out from the guy so to speak and just watch the other guy fall to the floor and wonder what the hell just happened!!!😂😂

man i love Charles Barkley

one of my all time favourite players.

"Two ham hocks for thighs" 😂

Charles was undersized, blah, blah, blah; the dude had incredible quads, hamstrings, and calves, all of it. He was like Tom Platz, an absolute freak, superhuman.

Charle's Barkley has, statistically, the best playoff game in NBA history since all stats were compiled.

Anybody who says Jordan shoulda won the MVP is 94 is on crack. Barkley took Phoenix over the hump they could never get over, he was the MVP that yr and there’s no debate

Chuck broke the mold and befriended Godzilla.

Chuck is freak of nature 👍🙏

Sir Charles was a dog on the court as well as a runaway train. Get out the way when he was coming full force. Great player.

didn't know the 5sec rule was due to Chuck

Barkley definitely deserves to be in the conversation as the best PF of all time

I remember that series Vs Chicago. I was so behind Charles. He had to go up against MJ, pippen, rodman and them... near enough on his own. And boy did they have to work to stop this man. My legit favourite sports person spokesman. He will hit you with the truth... And let it burn... No apologies.

Duncan Nowitzki KG Chuck Malone Chuck was a beast

Barkley is a beast!

Chuck wagon ! My favorite player of all time

Love CB

ANTHONY DAVIS | 75 injuries💎

Best team in 1995 lost in game 7

Shaq just exeggerated. He aint 6'4 he started as 6'6 and shrinked to 6'5 on later years(still impressive ofc). And Prime Barkley could've be the top PF offensively in terms of raw talent and versatility. And when people talking about best rebounders its always like Dennis Rodman, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell this 3 is the top 3 rebounders. But I dont agree. First of all between late 50s to early 70s all superstars centers and power forwarsd has at least 1 20+ rebound per game season and couple of 18+ rebound per game seasons. It was about the shooting percentage and pacing. It wasnt only special to Russell and Chamberlain yes these 2 even better than rest of it but not a huge margin. Nate Thurmond, Walt Bellamy, Wes Unseld, Bob Pettit, Jerry Lucas (6-8 guy has 2 20+ rebound per game season) or SF like Elgin Baylor (6'5) has two 18+ rebound per game season. And most of the time he is a 12-13+ rpg player thru out his career. Gus Johnson a 6'6 SF/PF mostly averages 12 t o15 rpg. Or how 6'4 Oscar Robertson average triple doubles with 10-11 rebound early in his career. So imo rebounding in 60s are very overrated stats. Like asists today. Its about pacing and shooting percentage. What Bill Russell doing with the boards wasnt something special to him. He wasnt better than Nate Thurmond but he was winning. Only Chamberlain was making a bit more difference with 24 rpg seasons. And between Rodman and Charles. Rebound was Dennis's first priority. Actually other than scoring all the rest was his game. Great pick & roll passer, great 1 v 1 defender, great help defender, great trash talker, can get somebody's under the skin easily, great rebounder and perimeter/post defender if he want to be. And even tho he was 6 cm longer than Charles and have better wingspan he was undersized for his position too. But Charles. Charles was 6'5 - 6'6 at most and he was wasting huge energy on offense. 80s and 90s were big men dominant era (Jordan and his team was the only bug of the meta) and Charles was facing 6'9 to 7'1 opponents everyday on offense. So ? And he was even than 12+ rpg every season almost. So imo Charles might be even better rebounder than Dennis even tho he wasnt as focused as Rodman. Charles is a very underrated athlete imo. ANd if you ask me my top 5 all time rebounders ? 1- Rodman or Charles 2- Chamberlain 3- Moses Malone 4- Hakeem 5- Jason Kidd (why ? Cuz he aint as athletic as Westbrook he aint as big as Magic or LBJ as a playmaker, he aint played in 60s like Big O) and still this dude has 8+ rpg season and multiple 7 rpg seasons and even have 10 -11 rpg play-off runs even after his 30 years old of age. He is boxing and positioning IQ is uncanny. I mean in 2006 Play-offs (could be 2008 too) He tormented Young, Prime Chris Bosh in terms of boxing him out he was a 30+ year old overweight 6'3 , 6'4 PG)

The most beast NBA player during his prime.

Isiah beautiful said

Chuck was a beast. As far as power forwards Go. To me, 1. Tim Duncan 2. Charles Barkley 3. Karl Malone.

Game changer indeed.

Barkley was a natural guard in height until he gained the lane then he was a linebacker and there was no stopping him.

Chuck!!!!!!

Hey NBA, next time you're using game footage, use more than 25% of the screen 1:59 is a joke

The best undersized power forward of all time.

Charles was the giannis prototype but with less defense but never less heart

I wish he was in 2k I wanna play with 93 Barkley so bad lol

I learned a lot here.

well I'm still amazed on how shaq refers to chuck and charles barkley differently. I am now convinced that he sees them as two different people lol

Wow, what if a young Barkley, already supernaturally genetically gifted, took care of his body and developed his athleticism and worked on it and maintained the best diet . . . He would have beat the Bulls in 1993.

"Those Big Ol' San Antonio Women"

I can barely see any highlights with those shots. They're more worried about showing the studio than the plays.

STEPHANIE READY 🖤🖤😍💎

Chuck is from the old school ,he was down to fight anyone too.

Mvp during prime jordan... Enough said...

Imagine him in today's league

찰스경 오래사세요!

Zion needs to see this video. He's supposed to be Chuck 2.0.
