@all the "i don't think people know how great barkley was" comments

No doubt Lebron is better....But people don't know how great Chuck was and that's real talk.

Chuck aint 6'6...Trust me.
I'm an inch taller in my mughsot too. Plus you have to take into consideration how the picture was shot cause according to that height chart, he's 6'7. And if he was a legit 6'7, the NBA would have listed him at 6'8

Hey. I haven't read the thread in its entirety. Didn't think it would be too many folks that would pick Charles over Bron....
That's with sneakers

-How tall is Jordan again?-
I love how yall use pictures to justify your point when clearly pics can't be unreliable. Let's just use some common sense here. This whole thing started because Barkley gets extra props for playing the 4 spot undersized. Why yall want to discredit that, I have know idea.
Jordan is listed as 6'6. But he's 6'5 in real life. I've partied with that cat several times at the French Quarter when he was in Bham.
I've partied with Chuck and met him countless times...
Whether Chuck is 6'4 or 6'5 doesn't matter. He was an undersized power forwared playing at an elite level against his obviously taller counterparts...Yall new nikkas try to hard man..

Ok you've been shown official measurements on mugshots, pics of 6'6" MJ side-by-side with Barkley - and you want to go with hype-talking-Barkley talking hype to a reporter as proof of your argument?
The Round Mound of Rebound wasn't undersized in any sense of the word.

I read your post wrong brah my bad, but my point still stands
Did you NOT post this in Post #67 of this thread?:
I then proceed to show you that your statement was false......and you post a Drake smiley like I'm wrong?
and it's a shame that they don't. it's a shame most kids don't know shawn kemp was doing everything blake griffin was, except he had a wet midrange J and could hit free throws, play defense and wasn't a flopping p*ssy.
i was blessed enough to have witnessed most of chuck's career and the things he was able to do athletically for being a chubby guy were absolutely ridiculous. but i don't let nostalgia get in the way of logical thinking.
and let's say chuck was 6'6...that's still short for a power forward. but the man was brutally strong and had a wide body. he had that natural country bumpkin, down south, civil rights strength.

This nikka pulled 18 and 10 like it was a fukking trump card
You think i give a shyt that he averaged 18 and 10? No cause i actually watch these games unlike you stat whores who can even link a decent argument together. 
I've seen Tracy Mcgrady give Dirk absolute fits in the playoffs, you want me to start saying Tracy can guard all 4's now? I've seen Rondo successfully guard Lebron for stretches of games you want me to say Rondo can guard all 3's now? Cause if thats the shytty criteria yall wanna use then fine, everybody can guard everybody in today's league
