I was 8 when he won MVP but im watching some of his highlights..I always thought he was some kind of bully ugly ass type of player.

That turnaround J was automatic :dahell:





He was on fire that day. His biggest skills was his combo of strength and athletic ability early in his career. Ability to carve out space and finish around the basket. He was as good as anyone. His jumper was comparable to LeBron, streaky but when he got going he'd be literally unstoppable. Obv an even worse 3 shooter than Bron but diff era

He def had his moments from the outside. But he did most of his work from the inside.

But when he's hot he could be on fire from distance. But at the same time he could be equally just as bad from distance when they aren't going in

Great post breh and i like the bron comparison. I noticed they played him the same way too: give him space to take that jumpshot.

Shame he hasnt won at least one.

Can't imagine how beastly Charles would be in this era. Out of the all time top 5 power forwards his game translates the best. Could handle, pass, dominant rebounder and one of the most explosive athletes of all time. Statiscally he's the worst 3 point shooter ever for attempts over 700...but he would probably be better
in this era since you're encouraged to shoot them.

Barkley's jumper was wet in phoenix i remember he would rain on the bulls during the finals. this nikka was 6'4 and grabbing 20 boards a game and pushing the ball full court faster than most point guards today. winning rings don't mean shyt he will always be one of the greats.
