The other day we had the Charles Barkley vs. Tim Duncan debate on the site while trying to pick our power forward for the Greatest Team of All-Time. I took Duncan then, and while I still would take Duncan now, after watching this clip I’ll admit I had kinda forgotten how good Chuck was back […]

KG’s Response

As the ultimate class-act, Kevin Garnett chose to take the high road in responding to Glen Taylor’s comments that he tanked it at the end of last year.
“First off, I want to say Glen Taylor was good to me when I was a Timberwolf and I’m a Boston Celtic now,” Garnett said […]

Q&A With Sir Charles
Sir Charles and Bounce’s Bobbito Garcia
Star-Telegram writer Jan Hubbard got up with Charles Barkley yesterday in Dallas to talk about Dirk, the Jason Kidd trade, the state of the game and the Mavs chances this year.
Our favorite part of the interview was what he had to say about MJ:
“We’ve been giving Michael a hard […]

Baby Jordan
Ced Ceballos. Chris Jackson. Kenny Smith. Clarence Weatherspoon. David Benoit. Skinny Barkley, Likable Isiah and Young Shaq. But this night in ‘93 belonged to Harold Miner. Notice how at the end, the announcers talk about how many commercials Baby Jordan was gonna get from the Dunk Contest win. We don’t remember seeing any. Do you?

10 Sense - Charles Barkley
Bobbiot Garcia & Charles Barkley
Just as the NBA season was getting underway, we traveled to Philadelphia for an event with Charles Barkley to celebrate the remix of Nike’s classic Air Force 1 in the colorways of Chuck’s high school, college and professional teams. As you would expect, one of the game’s all-time greats was more […]

The future’s not so bright.
Have you ever been cleaning out your fridge and come across something damn near unidentifiable? Remember that look on your face when you got a whiff of The Blob Formerly Known as Mac And Cheese? That was me when I heard about the Sonics’ trade-deadline deal yesterday, the one sending Wally […]

Sir Charles
Anytime you sit down with Charles Barkley, you’re in for a treat. The New Orleans Times-Picayune did just that.
Asked about being disliked because of what he says…
“That’s why you’ve got to be honest,” said Chuck. “That’s where this whole honesty thing started with me. I was trying to please everybody and no matter what I […]

Capt. Jack
Although Bulls vs. Blazers — real life, not the suuuuper slooow-mo video game — turned into a match game between Ben Gordon and Brandon Roy for most of crunch time, the eventual heroes/goats ended up being the unlikely Jarrett Jack and Joe Smith. In double-OT, Jack got the go-ahead bucket when he converted a three-point […]

When Dominique Wilkins, Charles Barkley and Joe Dumars were enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last year, it pushed the number of inductees in the Hall’s “Players” category to 134. When you consider all the guys who have passed through the NBA and international ranks over the years, that’s a […]

Common Sense
There are plenty of reasons why Magic Johnson and Charles Barkley are Hall of Famers, and common sense is one of them. (OK, so Magic wasn’t the best coach in the world, but forget about that for a sec.) In all the analysis and over-analysis we saw regarding Sunday’s playoff games, Chuck and Buck made […]

Video Game ‘Bron
Having joystick moves on the court is one thing, but LeBron James was acting like he was really in a video game in crunch-time of Cavs/Heat. Holding for the last shot, LeBron dribbled around the arc forever — even while being doubled by Eddie Jones and J-Will — and took a three that bricked at […]
