Close, two different positions. If I had the choice to build around either though, I'll go with Robinson. Scoring champ, defensive player of the year awards and the overall nature of his position of value. Players who can score 70+ aren't normal.
David Robinson next question
Almost like MJ didn't win until Pippen came along right? Empty stats for MJ too then right?
Robinson was a dominant Center and had a complete game. Id pick him over Barkley easily.
Robinson, and it's not close.

Relocate me to some of David Robinson's big playoff moments
You'd be even more
And everybody and their mama knows Jordan was the true alpha of his team.He actually helped exorcise the bytchassness outta Pippen.Pippen was puzzy just like David Robinson in the beginning.He helped Mike, but he never carried him to shyt.
D Rob was a crazy specimen, but his heart was mediocre.That's why Dream took his lunch money like he did.Other than scoring 70 points in a meaningless end of the season game against a terrible Clippers team(Some even said they played him soft on purpose because the didn't want Shaq to win the scoring title), where's his glorious big game moments.He seemed to always be on the other side getting ethered.
He was the ultimate stats guy.Most overrated player from the 90's IMO....Barkley wasn't as "disciplined", but he had way more heart than that dude.
Never feared or worried about him whenever my team played the Spurs.Shaq made a nicca tremble...had nightmares about Dream....Alonzo had us punked...hell, even Patrick Ewing was 5x the competitor.
D Rob was a phenomenal athlete who put up big numbers in his sleep...he just never woke up when it mattered most.
Mentioning a cold blooded killer like Michael Jordan in the same vein as David Robinson is blasphemous.
In all fairness dream was giving everybody that work.Barkley....dude was a monster in his time.
Ill never think highly of the Admiral for letting Hakeem molest him on his mvp night

Yeah, but that was an ''Above & Beyond'' asswhooping......truly exceptional
I actually think its a tie robinson was a better defender though but barkley was a better ball handler and rebounder.

you making it sound like barkley was on another level. It's been known for a while that barkley didnt have a good enough work ethic to win it all. Even Pippen said it in the interview: "I should have listened to MJ when he said Barkley would never win a championship"
barkley had that great run in 93 but besides that all the other he had was basically the same as david robinson having to deal with mediocre supporting cast.
barkley won first two games in houston back in 94 playoffs, and then managed to choke his home games
then in 95 he has the 3-1 lead against the rockets and he still chokes the series!
and then later he joins this rockets team and destroys the chemistry, staying outta shape and eventually having serious injuries because of that.
even robert horry called him out saying barkley ruined the chemistry of that team because 3rd alpha scorer is too much for a team to click.
Wow this is a lot tougher than most comparisons on here.
The real answer is there is no wrong choice, people have preferences and their own opinions.
I would pick Barkley, lets not forget he was our best player during the Dream Team run as well
If you picked Admiral, I wouldn't disagree
If you picked Barkley I wouldn't disagree
My pick is Chuck but was VERY tough choice.
