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.
That's why I said Chuck wasn't as ''disciplined''......He was a competitor and had heart, tho.

Him and Majerle just loved to party and get drunk hours before the game.

That being said, I'd still take my chances with Chuck:yeshrug:

Even in his drunken state, he was able to lead a team to the Finals.....D Rob didn't get there until Duncan came with that real championship pedigree.D Rob wasn't built like that.

D. Rob could never get out of the West because of how stacked the West was. Having to go through the Blazers, Phoenix, Houston, Utah, Seattle & Warriors without a 2nd star on you team is a daunting task. Even Barkley couldn't/didn't win alone. But you go ahead and take Charles, both are great in their own way.

I haven't seen this comparison done here yet, so I figure I'd initiate the topic. Who had the better prime, peak, and most importantly, was the better player and is ahead in the rankings? I personally got Sir Charles in all three categories, but I'd like to know what y'all think. Discuss

ROBINSON EASY... he's got the rings.. and the man has a QUADRUPLE DOUBLE ON HIS RESUME.. that alone he wins lol

Gotta be on some stat boy shyt for D Rob to even have a chance.

He could put up stats in his sleep, but he wasn't much of a competitor/leader IMO

There was an aloof,passiveness about him.As if basketball wasn't his first passion

He has zero big game/glory moments in the real season(post season)....zip.....

Regular season champ

It's not just Barkley.It's a bunch of guys from that decade that I'd take over him....especially in big/important games.

Shaq & Dream is a no brainer, but I'm talking guys like Alonzo Mourning, Patrick Ewing, and hell maybe even Rik Smits(in playoff games)

Honestly, you put Alonzo Mourning's spirit in his body, and he's the GOAT

Where's Barkley's big games at? :mjlol:

This nikka talking like Chuck ringless ass got a gang of big playoff moments or games under his belt.

Jordan ethered him in 93 and he never sniffed a title ever again with some talented Suns teams and ring chasing stint in Houston

If DRob is a regular season champ than what the fukk is Barkley:russ:

The most played Barkley related playoff moment you see is John Stockton splashing that 3 in his face in 97

David NEVER played with a team as good as Barkley in Phoenix either

Relocate me to some of David Robinson's big playoff moments

You'd be even more:russell:

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.
Yeah, SHAQ says that shyt.
