he had Kobe or Lebron workout ethic .....
It's like he did not care after 28-29

Sir Charles would have been a top 5 player if.....

- Start date
Imagine if Kobe wasn't a snitch and Shaq adopted Kobe's work ethic and stayed in LA? Shaq would've approached GOAT status

That's the craziest part tho...He'd be going 10% speed on a stationary bike eating Krispy Kreme instead of practicing or working out...
And go out and put up 35/12/5 like it was 2nd grade math.
He retired because once he came back from his injury he "saw the rim way up there and said 'damn I got to go way up there to get the rebound??'"
You know how many rebounds he averaged that year??? fukking 10.5
Mans was averaging 10.5 boards and then retired cus it was too hard. Case closed.

Mmmmm....idk if work ethic is the same for bigs tho. The workout warrior bigs ala Sabonis and Ming just end up broken down.
What 7"+ guy do we know that had a 10+ year career and was a MJ/Kobe level workout maniac?
probably kareem and hakeem, they stayed in shape and had a very long careers
but yeah they can't work the same way as 6ft6 players, them legs can't hold that much pressure

But damn do a sit up or a push up
I still remember that story about him being the first on those pancakes rolled up with the sausage
On the damn bike healing at teammates while they ran sprints

I wish these dudes up here really saw Charles in his prime. He doesn't get the overall respect that he does. He would've killed your favorite players of today. Draymond? Hahaha! Food. Kawhi? Hahaha! Food. Lebron? FOOD! Deal with it.

One of the top 5 most unique players ever.
He was a natural.
Just imagine if he did hit the weight room and practice.
He ate donuts during practice
And stayed out all night drinking with Dan Majerle the day before games.
My grandmother used to work at a club called "Maloneys" in Scottsdale AZ.
She said Chuck would be in the club wasted, talking major shyt
She'd tell me "I saw Barkley again last night"
"But we play the Rockets in GM 7 of the Western Conference Semi Finals today
!!"
