NBA Legends Explain Why Charles Barkley Was The Goat of

Often heard people saying "This guy is a new Chuck", to be honest, I don't think there will be another Chuck ever.

I don't give a f--- about the "no ring" thing. Charles Barkley was my favorite player and probably always will be. He played like he was angry (especially in his early carreer). His intensity was unmatched.

When Jordan says youre the best (for that year), that's something.

Barkley was actually a brilliant player, he does not get the respect his play deserved these days

Barkley is still my favorite player.

Sir Charles is an absolute freak of nature. So strong, so fast. No wonder his height was often overstated, it helped make larger players feel better when they were out-jousted by him.

Leading the league in rebounds, FG% at 6'4" during the time with dominant big men!

I feel nostalgic about the Phoenix Suns of the 1990s now. Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson, Cedric Ceballos, Danny Ainge, Dan Majerle, and Tom Chambers, who were the main players for the Suns in the 90s, were excellent NBA players. Especially if Barkley had won a championship with the Suns or Rockets, he would have been able to retire in the best possible way. It was very sad when the Rockets lost to the Jazz in the 1997 NBA Playoff Conference Finals game between the Jazz and the Rockets. Personally, I think the Big Three of Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler, and Hakeem Olajuwon are underrated.

His ability to make ppl smile is, and always has been his best ability.

One of the best power fowards to play the game

Honestly I have Chuck in my top 15 of all time

Imagine a player eating cheeseburgers while on a treadmill, that's greatness right there.

From a long-time Phoenix Suns fan who was just 14-years-old when the Suns and Bulls played in the 1993 NBA Finals, thank you for making this video! I don't think any other player revolutionized a team, in his first year with that team, than the way Sir Charles did. They went from a fairly decent, 50+ win team that got beat by the Portland Trailblazers in the 1992 Playoffs Western Semis, to having the best record in the NBA and going straight to the NBA Finals to match up with the two-time defending champion Chicago Bulls and the GOAT, Michael AIR Jordan! And not only that, despite choking in the first two games, they only lost the series 4-2. Like Jordan said in this very video, if not for that Paxson shot, it may have been anyone's series. I will never forget the 1992-1993 NBA season!

The 93 Suns were so awesome…they made me root against MJ and the Bulls…had no effect though! 😢😉 love you Chuckster! 👊🏻

Chuck was fun to watch. When MJ retired in ‘93, he said now he was the best player in the league. Just think if MJ and Chuck played on the same team. Same for Bird & Magic. Plus, his l Am Not A Role Model ad

Love this Channel old school NBA was The Best Time For Basketball 🔥

To be that dominant with his size and skillset, the way he chose to play, he was a freak of nature. Not to mention the greatest basketball personality of all time

I’m 6’5 and I walked right by him at the Milwaukee airport years ago and he’s barely 6’4 which tells you how dominate he really was for that height and to dominate the boards, score and dunk off two feet like he did.

I think Charles Barkley was the Mischael Jordan of all Charles Barkleys

Not many do 2 hands dunk when running to the basket. It seems throwing yourself up. He is one of a kind. He must feel it is the surest way to get it done.
