Will this ever happen again? A 6'5" player shooting 60% while averaging 25 points

[AngelEyes]

Charles Barkley was just about 6'5" barefoot and he shot 60% in the 1990 season while having a big scoring season, averaging over 25 a game. This has to be one of the greatest accomplishments of all time and something that may never happen again.

He's no Karlos Maloney.

Barkley has never actually accomplished that.

1990: 60% from the field, 25.2 points per game.

[Marchesk]

Barkley has 4 seasons with TS >= 65%

[Round Mound]

Here is Charles batteling Larry Johnson who btw was also an undersized PF listed at 6`6 ft but closer to 6`5 and he is a little taller than Chuck:

Pound for pound Barkley was pretty good, but inch for inch he was one of the greatest :applause:

Charles grows to match whomever he's standing next to.

Nah, more likely NBA measurements are bunk. Charles is basically exact same height as Lennox who is listed at 195cm which is 6'4 - 6'4.5.

NBA has just for decades added an inch or two to give the appearance of 'biggest, fastest, strongest'.

It's like saying Curry is 6'3'' when he is clearly more around 6'1''.

Or saying Kristaps is 7'3'' when is probably more like 7'1''.
