Charles Barkley: "Kobe Bryant is the best player I've seen other than Michael Jordan"

[eliteballer]

Just said it on Get Up on ESPN.

chuck is such a confused man

[Indian guy]

:facepalm


In an interview with NBC Sports, Charles Barkley shared his thoughts about the players he would start and thinks are the top five NBA players of all-time.

“It’s Michael, Oscar Robertson, Bill Russel, Wilt Chamberlain, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar."

This was in 2018.

Reason #45452765 why athletes' opinions are worthless.

People who take Barkley's remarks serious just reveal their low IQ.

If you watch Inside the NBA consistency do you really come out saying "Wow, Barkley is pretty spot on most of the time". He's usually wrong and he doesn't articulate his points well.

He's extremely funny and entertaining, but that is a different story.

Charles is no longer an athlete. He's a "media personality". His job is to garner attention and generate controversy. He will say things that he doesn't believe and that he knows damn well aren't true just to drive up ratings.

For someone who's ringless for his entire career, charles is surely brave enough to say a lot of things. 😹

I think Kobe surpassed Lebron with his death.

Shaq also said yesterday he would take both Iverson & Webber over Duncan. He brags about his rings nonstop when arguing with Chuck, then takes two guys who never won a title over Duncan with 5

Btw, this was Barkley when Kobe was on the verge of winning his 4th title & first FMVP in '09

He acts outraged when it's suggested Kobe is top 10 all time :oldlol:

[72-10]

That's an odd viewpoint from someone who improved his teammates so much from the 4. Kobe was the worst of all-time at that and it's a huge part of being a basketball player. Due to all the footage I've watched, I feel like I've seen large chunks of Larry Bird's career, so I'd most definitely say Larry Bird because he improved his teammates so much, it was just so evident.

This thread got shut down real quick, poor LakerLegend is a laughing stock on ISH AND RealGM. Pathetic.

F*ggot baby-boy Simon and his 20 alts scrambling like cockroaches to dig up outdated Barkley quotes on Kobe from as far as a decade ago.

Good thing for Simon he never goes outside anyway so he's not likely to get infected with Corona. Social distancing has been a way of life for him for the entirety of his life.

:lol:oldlol::banana:
