Who's better in their prime: Barkley or Lebron?

[954UAlreadyknow]

Barkley Prime = 24 pts 14 reb 5 assist per game


EASILY barkley...no question, close thread.

yall boys killin me

Even Chuck would pick Lebron

 

[Street Knowledge]

Bron not close.

From 1985 to 1993, Charles Barkley consistently DOGGED the following NBA greats:

Patrick Ewing
The Chief
Kevin McHale
Buck Williams
David Robinson
DENNIS RODMAN
Karl Malone

Chuck was quick, explosive, could rebound, run the fast break AND had a mean post game.

Prove to me that prime LeBrick >> Prime grade A Chuck.

You aint trying to have a real comparison discussion, The highlighted showed your agenda.

Karl Malone used to give Chuck that work.....

He started dogging McHale after he got old and injured...cause when Chuck first got in the league, Kevin used to take it to him

I cosign everyone else on the list.....I don't think people understand how good Chuck was...

 

[Schmoove]

Chuck could do everything LeBron does AND had a post game at 6'4.

 

[cornercommission2k12]

Lebron is probably a better all around player

But I think people forgot how good Barkley was.

And what chuck did was more remarkable than lebron

Lebron being more naturally physically talented then everyone else is a given

Chuck was not supposed to do what he did cause he was under sized and slow. Yet dominated at his position for years.

And if you give Barkley wade, bosh and the shooters bron has, he would have won a couple rings too

So yeah bron>>Barkley but Barkley is more impressive

Charles cant defend and play 5 positions like Bron can. Cmon fam

[Eternal Tecate]

Lebron by miles

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

If Bron had a above average post game, I'd pick him.

Barkley was a monster in the post....truly remarkable player


This is tough.........I guess I'd go with Bron.......but really, I don't know , man

Somebody post one of Bron's best games.


I watched Chuck do this live



Man, Chuck was crafty as fukk


I think his game was more refined than Bron's, but Bron is a genetic mutation.....I don't know, man...can't pick one

 

[NUPE 1911]

Is this even a serious question?

 

[Jplaya2023]

Lebron was, but barkley was nothing to sneeze at. Unfortunately in his athletic peak (with philly) he didn't have a team capable of winning the title.

Lebron in his prime has 3 mvps, 2 rings, 2 finals mvps, multiple first team all nba offense and defense and has been the undisputed best player in the nba since 2007.

Barkley is one of my favorite players from the 90's and I think he is the second best power forward ever but i'm choosing Lebron all day everyday. He's a better ballhandler playmaker and defender. Their scoring is pretty even but Bron's sometimes dominant defense gives him the nod over Chuck.
