I can't wait to see those future home games to see Bosh and Parsons boo-ed every time they touch the ball. What for? Well, just because...they are not here and we're bitter! Crikey!
Barkley was a key player in a team that went to a western conference finals. With him we could finally consistantly beat seattle.
He said he was offended because the Rox were chasing a third star, and that is what he thought he could be for them. He didn't take shots at the organization or any of the players, coaches, or management. He felt they undervalued him. Nothing is wrong with that. If the Rox wanted him they could have matched. I don't see how he was a jerk. As for all of the stuff afterwards, what is he supposed to do. The Mavs just agreed to pay him 46 million dollars. He complimented the s**t out of them. I bet if Cuban agreed to pay you 46 million dollars you would gladly take any photos with him, sing his praises, and boo the Rox every chance you got if that is what he wanted. Let Parsons be happy. People don't seem to hate Dwight Howard and he was much worse to the Lakers and Magic than Parson was to the Rox.
Barkley was a defensive nightmare. His effort wasn't horrible, but he was short fat and slow. I remember 2 or 3 games where Karl Malone might have had more trouble scoring against those cardboard cutouts that people use for shooting practice Barkley's offense and rebounding was special, but I question what you were watching if you thought he was any better than 'tuurible' trying to defend anybody who could score. He's a perfect illustration why Harden will never win a championship without a little more effort on D.
Eh, there's been quite a few racist comments (especially against Asians) that seem to get a pass on here.
