Charles Barkley: The best power forward of all time?

[CB4GOATPF]

Because there is no Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan at that time.

Yes there was...and both got owned

[COLOR="Blue"]Barkley[/COLOR] owned Malone in their primes ages 22-32 (70% of their confrontations)

[COLOR="Navy"]*Malone could only get the best out of Barkley when Barkley could hardly play, move or leap[/COLOR]

Duncan's team won 6 out of 8 games. 5 in a row in his second year.
does this mean Duncan got owned by Barkley?

Garnett got owned by Barkley back then, because he was so skinny and raw material.
But Duncan's game already surpassed barkley's then.

[COLOR="blue"]Skinny at ages 21-23? [/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]Then i could say Barkley was too much overweight (288 lbs in Houston), could not leap, run, jump, major back problems and suffered a major knee injury in 1997 which caused him to drop his game in 98.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Blue"]"Game"? Ohhh Please...Shot Blocking & Interior Defense is the Only "Game" Duncan has over Barkley...[/COLOR]

LMFAO, i think the OP was trying to discourage talk of Duncan > Barkley when he said Duncan was a center. Nobody needs a long discussion of Duncan > Barkley.

He's from Auburn, he has to be the Greatest Power Forward of All-Time. Anyone else who thinks otherwise is a troll.

There is proof that Duncan has been playing Center more than PF. Its like 65% of Time Playing Center and the Rest a "Hidden Center" in a "Twin Tower System". You are not a PF if you locate yourself where the other teams Center is and you do things that a Center does. A PF "Faces the Basket" and does not play back to the Basket 90% of the Time.

Duncan has nothing on Barkley even at ages 34-36 Barkley owned him.

ANY ASPECT OF THE GAME....BUT "Shot Blocking & Interior D" ...

BARKLEY OWNS DUNCAN
