I just want to say that I'm one of the greatest fans of Barkley. I'm 20 years old and been watching NBA for 13 years. I'm a Barkley fan when he was with the 76ers. Whereever he goes, I go. I root for that team. I became a rocket fan because of him. He is one of the best power forword in the history of the league perhaps in the top 3. NBA will never be the same without him. Nobody can be compared to Barkley. Noone else in this league is outspoken, flamboyant and says want ever he wants to say as Charles Barkley. He simply is one of the best. He is the most beloved athlete by the media. I think his career has just begun....career in politics. I hope you run for governor and win. We will certainly miss you Sir Charles. About the Rockets this season. I think we're in deep trouble. It's just impossible to get superstar players this season because it takes talent to get one. Right now we only have 5 talented players, Anderson, Mobley, Cato, Francis, Hakeem. No team is dumb to trade their superstars for our scrubs. If Rudy can get a superstar for any of our scrub, then he should run for president. I think even next will be the same because we are stuck with Hakeem. We will only get big time free agents when Hakeem retires.
