Did you know, Barkley is the shortest player ever to lead league in RPG?

[Hey Yo]

In the 1987 season, he avg. 14.6 a game.

Well at least he won something huh? Kawhi would still run circles around that fat bastard.

Lol. Kawhi dosn't run circles around anyone. He moves like an old man. He can shoot the 3 and has an elite mid range and decent post game but he not running anything around anyone

Well no one that short at 6'4 5/8 ft has won a rebounding title. I think he also lead some play-offs in rebounding aswell and in the regular season offensive rebounding.

The nineties were a different breed it took tough heart and sweat to grab boards now it goes to the tallest guys on the court ask Andre Dummond

20+ rebounds in a game was impressive for someone his size back then.

Yup. But what i liked watching more was that rebounds and shots where more contested. It was funner to watch those skill-sets while allowing more freedom of defense.

Pretty sure he's also the shortest to average over 1.5 blocks for a season. He did this twice.

1.6 and then 1.5

Baylor was probably the same height and avg similar rebounding numbers.

Probably the best sf of the 60s...whom gets very underrated these days. He was ahead of his time. I think he was basically a SF while Barkley was basically a PF.

[HoopsNY]

Rodman was 6'8", Barkley 6'5", and Ben Wallace was 6'9". They were absolutely phenomenal on the boards for guys who weren't 7 footers, or even 6'10"-6'11".

When Barkley was at his peak he had Hersey Hawkins and Armen Gilliam as his 2nd and 3rd options and he faced Jordan and Pippen in the playoffs.

When Kawhi was at his peak he played in a team with multiple all stars that would comfortably have won 50+ games without him. And he was a game 7 Hail Mary away from doing literally no better than they did without him.

Barkley > Kawhi and it's not even close.
