    Unfortunately, the famous for being famous trend affects everything these days.

    Not taking anything from Chuck-les but Dream is definitely more worthy of being famous. But, I'm definitely glad he doesn't sell his dignity to become famous like some of the stuff Barkley does. (Being rich as **** probably has something to do with that, too :grin: :grin: )

    There's a difference between being famous and being someone you would admire. Chuck is far and away the most famous ex-Rocket.

    I think Charles is probably the most famous, currently.

    Fortunately I think Dream is the most idolized. I think that's appreciable; Dream doesn't belong in the media circus.

    Not to mention many people and players (like Thabeet) from Africa that looked up to him as a player that can grow up there and become a World Champion in the NBA twice and being Finals MVP twice...So it might not be as clear cut because most basketball fans know of him because he was on the Dram Team as well...

    It seems that Hakeem is considered "just another good center" out of H-town. Charles by a mile.

    this is a really silly question considering charles has been on national television every week of the nba season for the past 10 years

    Anyone here remember the first year we got Barkley?

    How all of the sudden, we were on national TV almost as much as the Bulls?

    Charles barkley is interesting. Tim Duncan might be a great player, but he is boring. Just like why do chicks go for the bad boys?
