Ringzzzzzz culture really makes people insane. Like props for being a key part of a great team that won titles, but Charles Barkley is still Charles fucking Barkley. https://twitter.com/TheNBACentral/status/1253416197569122305">https://twitter.com/TheNBACen...
And honestly I& #39;m not even trying to take anything away from Draymond, who has made the most of his NBA career. But Barkley is an all-timer. MVP, arguably the best player on the Dream Team, averaged a double-double every season but his first. Rings aren& #39;t everything.
It& #39;s also funny that in the & #39;94 playoffs Barkley got mad at Chris Webber and went out and absolutely destroyed the Warriors to finish off the sweep—56 points on 74 percent (!) shooting including 3 of 4 on threes. 41 minutes, 31 shots, just blood all over the place.
And if you don& #39;t remember Sixers Barkley, oh my god, he just singlehandedly destroyed entire teams. He& #39;d go full steam full court and dunk on your center just for living.
If you& #39;ve never watched the old NBA Superstars VHS you need to watch the entire thing but Barkley& #39;s section was basically the basketball equivalent of Faces of Death: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwjBd9qpK8Q">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Honestly the question isn& #39;t has Draymond had a bigger impact than Charles Barkley (lol) it& #39;s whether he& #39;s had as big an impact as Horace Grant.
