Barkley 

Post#1 » by BillyHoyle » Thu Aug 7, 2008 10:40 am

When you think of Charles career, do you think of him as a Rockets, Suns or 76ers player?

I think I go with Phoenix as he went to the Finals with 'em and won the MVP Award. On the other hand he had his most dynamic years in phily.

Hmm... I probably think Phx 1st, then Philly and Houston a pretty distant last. Although I was pretty young when he played in Philly so that might have something to do with it.

Philly, he was almost a different player in Philly. He started chucking 3's at a higher rate in Phx and got lazy. He seemed to lose some of his athleticism and it started to show in his game.....

Chuck played for Houston? How did I forget that... Anyway, he is a Sun to me. The Philly days are distant memories.

Sixers, although I don't know why. He had the most success, in terms of winning an MVP and reaching the Finals, with the Suns.

Hes definitely a Sun. Going to the NBA finals solidified that position for him. Philly is second for sure, and houston was just sad.

I was young myself, but I watch a lot of basketball with my dad @ that time.

Philly he was his best
Phoenix

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

Hey Hangtime, your sig says "Tried" instead of "Tired."

Sorry, little spelling errors irritate me :)

He's a Sun.

That was my second favorite team ever behind the 2000-2002 Kings.

Definitely Phoenix for me... I am not as familiar with his Philly years.

Philly. :D

Seriously though Barkley himself has mentioned many times he was always be a Sixer 1st. He has mentioned many times the influence Dr. J,Moses Malone,Bobby Jones, Cheeks etc.,, had on his career.

Remember when we drafted him he was a chubby kid who had many people doubt his abilities and said he was undersized. The Sixers believed in him and he turned into a superstar here.
