Lets talk about highlights of Chucks career from Philly up till now.

When I was younger I use to love to watch the sixers play the pistons. Why? Because evey time I knew Charles Barkley was going to beat the ****-out-of Bill Lambier. Thats what I loved about Charles, If a player showingly disrespected him on the court,
he'd make them wish they would of respected him soon enough. God I loved it when he was with Phoneix and he would brawl with the thugs - the New York Knicks - Charles Oakley in particular.

More than any of that though I'll miss his sinceriety and honesty with the fans. Like they said Charles Barkley was a good guy who liked to make you think he was a bad guy. Sorry Charles you just can't hide that sort of stuff though. Thanks for the memories Chuck.

 

I think he truly showed his competitiveness and his ability to stand out among other superstars in Barcelona. Even though Charles did look like an ugly american, he came to play every game. Many of the other guys seemed to be playing at practice speed, but Charles played hard the entire time.

I really do think he was trying to impress Bird, magic & Jordan. Maybe Jordasn more than anyone, he wanted to show him what he could do.

Good luck Chuck!

 

I liked Chucks 56 point and 14 rebound
playoff game against Golden State.The coach,
I think it was Don Nelson put Chris Webber and anyone else he could find to guard Charles but he was in the zone,to say the least.The networks had been running a commercial featuring Chris Webber dunking on
Charles for a couple of weeks prior to that
game and after Chuck schooled the whole Golden State team,needless to say,they never
ran that commercial again.He was awesome in
Philidelphia and the man in Phoenix.The Golden State coach said after the game that
it was the most amazing exhibition of basketball domination he'd ever seen as a player or coach.We'll miss you Chuck.

I love Barkley´s first game with the Rockets against the Suns. He had about 35 rebound against his old team and the Rockets won.
