Charles Barkley vs Shawn Kemp gets HEATED (12/23/1993) 

Best collection of rare NBA clips on RU-vid 🙌

How the f*ck does a few minutes of a game from way back feel so much more entertaining than an entire game of the current nba season

No ejections .. damn what a great era!! I love it

Back when you could sit through a triple header on NBC

Grown Men Basketball back then. The Good Ole 90s.

It's amazing, after almost 30 years, I recognize just about every player on the court going at it! Those were great play-offs!

Don't you love how these guys wanted to kill each other but played good basketball in the process.

People underestimate how strong Charles was in his prime. So sad he didn’t win a championship! Such a good player and funny guy!

Now this was the NBA that I loved. So much passion and energy from all the players. Loved the Seattle Supersonics back then.

Best time of NBA basketball

The best era of the NBA!

2:30 Barkley always giving somebody that slick slap 😂

The talent was so DEEP back then. I know every face on the court. They were literally all-star or second-team worthy. Now, I have no idea who these dudes are. Back when players could play with passion and not get a T.

Barkley got them like they was his kids

Sir Charles always there for his team mates. Did you see how he held Kemp and Payton on both hands.

Who else really misses these days of the NBA?

LMAO Barkley held Kemp and Payton like they was his kids! I'm over here dying! 🤣😂🤣

Watching these old clips makes me miss real basketball so much damnn.

Ahh the glory days. And the Bulls had to beat both of these in the finals, and countless regular season games. GOAT forever.

I miss old school bball! when players actually gave a crap about winning not about social media like they do today.

Raise your hand if u miss the Sonics! And their classy, gorgeous uniforms.

The physical game was crazy. But the mental game had to be way stronger back then knowing you could be roughed up but trying to maintain focus and not losing your marbles. This is why the Bad Boys made the animal we call MJ. Trying to get passed a team that was going to physically assault you for a 7 game series requires a certain focus. Love, Love, Love the channel.

This is WHEN the NBA was like WWF, NFL and Heavyweight Boxing ALL in one ..

I was in 5th grade at the time and been a Phoenix Suns fan through thick and thin. I still remember back then having the Starter jacket, CB34 shoes, shorts, shirts- supporting my team. Still cheering for them to win a championship.

This is just tough basketball! Man I miss the 90's

Bro, I really appreciate the old school clips. This is straight nostalgia. Documented history if you will...

Barkley had both of them collared up

Was thinking this whole time, damn this must've been a hell of a playoff series. It was in December! Love the passion out there.

I’m a simple man. I see “Shawn Kemp” in a title, I click.

my childhood heroes, Barkley and Kemp

*NOW THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL NBA!* 💪🏀

They really competed back then. I miss this NBA. If only players today still competed like this.

I miss this era so much. I loved the league from Dr J up until Shaq retired but the Jordan era in the middle was the best. 80's and 90's NBA was a lot of fun.

Can tell Barkley and Kemp were just playing.

Shawn Kemp’s haircut should’ve gotten a tech.

Just look at the intensity they are playing with in a game in December!!! Man I miss the old NBA. No taking games off no load management just balling night in and night out

In a kid of the 80s and Im glad I was old enough to be able to watch late 80s and 90s Basketball but HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I just realize how physical this game was compared to todays pussy basketball. Its crazy how much footage there is of tensions and fights. Thanks for uploading. Who is on the comments by the way?

Back when NBA basketball was actually exciting, and in it's prime, a far cry to now.

Lol, Chuck is a fool for touching Kemp’s face like that 😭

Christmas break, 6th grade... After this game I had to have every pair of Barkley's release. Just fearless!

I grew up watching 80's and 90's basketball...best times. 🏀🙂👍

Oliver Miller in the refs face like that would've definitely gotten him ejected in 2021

Man I sure miss this brand of basketball.

The Sonics games with the Suns were always extra intense after they went 7 games in the Conference Finals earlier that year

Man! I'm surprised at how much was allowed to go on. I saw people choking each other, grabbing necks. All without coming to blows!! Lol

This is real basketball, miss that

HOLY 💩 I love how Barkley Grabs Payton and Kemp Jersey 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kemp in his prime was a beast.

The intensity back then was crazy. That was not even a playoff game. The West was stacked with good teams. Phoenix with Barkley and K.Johnson, Seattle with Payton and Kemp, Utah with Stockton and Malone, Houston with Hakeem, San Antonio with Robinson. I believe all those teams won 50+ games that year.

If you havent played bball, or any other team sport for that matter, you cant possibly understand how much more difficult it is to operate efficiently with this level of physicality, this openly confrontational climate between players. You feel electricity running through your whole body, tension clouding your judgement. And its also extremely more demanding stamina wise for you are charged all throughout the game. You remember it if you watched it live, you feel it when you watch it today, a whole generation later. And it is for this particular reason, that not only those games and those players, remain so popular and memorable today, but they are more interesting to watch than the current NBA. No free rebounds, no free lay ups, no switching on defense, no easy breezy 3s. This was WAR!

charles was fearless

Incredible game, got everything, tough physical D, passion, shuffling, pushing, jersey grabbing and even man kissing. Now, that’s entertainment! Love the intensity

Love old school ball, when players played for pride and manhood

This clip is why I'm subscribing. I'm not a spring chicken and enjoyed seeing this type of NBA action again!

The good old days of basketball!!!

90s playoff basketball was great

The 90s was the real NBA

Damn...NBA in 80'. & 90's are so though and physical.. It doesn't look like now that full of flopping.... lol...

2:09 Barkley with the fuck y’all house dunk 😂😂😂😂

omg i miss this era so much ..im excited and its 2021 ...

Ahhhh, Seattle we need the supersonics back!!! Coolest name in the league.

When the NBA was for men ..............................!!!!!

I remember this now! The Barkley-led Suns were marvelous, and so were those classic jerseys.

I remember this night, me and my dad were watching this game right before I went out of town for xmas.

This is the NBA of Jordan....VIOLENT AND FORCEFUL. This is why his accomplishments can NEVER be compared to Kobe or LeBron because Mike literally had to fight through hell to get his rings!

Barkley🏀🏆 is one of the best

Man i love this NBA, thanks for these videos!

Keep these classic clips coming❤🙏

Barkley is a beast!!! 2:20-2:230

I love how commentators in that era were like “that’s not a foul that’s ridiculous!” Whereas nowadays they’re like “omg that’s uncalled for, that’s def a flagrant II”

What a ball.....I was just a kid but man...80&90 basketball was something

One mintue you are a teen watching and loving it. The next, its 31 years later and it does not seem like it, but the numbers dont lie

Two really good teams at that time.

Wow when basketball was basketball. You could actually argue with the ref, have a scuffle and not get ejected.

I love the way Sir Charles gave Kemp a little slap at the end, just to antagonize him!

Anything with the early 90s Suns and Sonics in it gets an instant like and subscription from me.

Love how Barkley grabbed Kemp’s and Payton’s jerseys!

Today’s confrontation would be just “hold me back!” then to the locker room to stack up the Twitter beef.

THIS was the nba ! I miss this so much! True rivalry

Thank you for this video brother!!!

I'm from Seattle 😥 kemp ain't no where near as strong as Barkley sorry only Shaq you see Barkley had Payton and Shawn by the collar at the same time one hand on each player 🙄 Sonic's didn't want that smoke trust me and I'm a Sonic's fan just keeping it real

Look how strong Barkley was. He grabbed their two biggest stars like children and Payton is a historic tough guy.

I miss the Seattle Supersonics. I also miss this NBA era and the rivals of this time, so many greats that played! You either loved or hated them! Today we only have a handful that stand out, and those few will be remembered also, but only a hand full, not all!

Barkley was tough he wasn’t scared of anyone he was ready to take on kemp and Payton

Ahh now this is basketball. Going for blood when its game time. Fighting for offensive rebounds etc. Felt young again watchin this

A few of my buddies at the boxing gymnasium had the Shawn Kemp hair cut. When you can fight, you can rock that cut in the fifth grade.

Barkley was the ultimate teammate, he would have done anything to defend his guys, you gotta love him for that

Early 90's two powerhouses of the west ... extremely entertaining... Also for the east was the Knicks and Chicago

People forget how strong Charles Barkley was.

Haha barkley holding kemp and payton together....legend

Every position in the 90s was important. Today only the guards position is important... everyone shoots 3 pointers today.

I remember watching all these games when I was in high school. 80's and 90's were the best.

Growing up Barkley was my guy. From the Sixers to the Suns and then the Rockets, I looked forward to watching the round mound of rebound do his thing

90's was lit!

mid 90s basketball was my life as a middle schooler. i didnt even like playing basketball but i was glued to nba back then.

I really miss that Supersonics, really miss thar NBA era, really miss watch the Reignman dunks and the Glove giving him all ups.

man, I remember watching those games in the 1990s and you still had that excitement and grit from the 1980s. Real battles!

Thank my friend always good videos

The 80's and 90's were the two best decades in NBA history.

Man I w remember watching this game seeing this fight when I was a kid
