That's because everyone thinks he's an idiot and the fact he failed to get a ring means he doesn't get the kind of respect he should. He has one of the best peaks of all time at the power forward position. His Philly years were just something else in terms of overall performance.
Chuck in his prime tho ...

He's underappreciated becuz most people dont like him as a person so they use stupid ring arguments against him. Even tho Duncans the best Barkley is easily the most versatile PF of all time. My favorite player of all time

No, that would be KG but yes, Charles is up there.
I don't think he's underappreciated. Everyone knows he was a great player, he really was. But it's worth noting that he basically didn't care about defense, at all. This matters when you try and compare him to other ATGs.

Word I realize these kids are gonna grow up only knowing Chuck and Shaq as these fat goofy studio analysts, not realizing the physical phenoms that they were in their 20's

Barkley has gotten lost in the discussion when the convo of great players come up. A lot of these young cats only know him from TNT or remember him when he was with the Rockets at the very end. They don't remember Chuck getting the rebound and leading the break a lot of times and finishing it off as well. I still have him as the second best power forward ever after Duncan.

Tim Grover(Michael Jordan's trainer) was asked who's the best athlete he's ever seen or worked with. Dude said Chuck
guy is so underappreciated now. Probably my favorite player to watch ever. How many power forwards can just grab a rebound go coast to coast like him? not to mention him doing allthis while being undersized at his position.
Most unique player ever.
