Charles Barkley was a real Baller during his day. I think his main strength was his athleticism. And his natural position was not really a 3 or 4, but placed in between. I rate him up with Karl Malone as one of the best PFs.

I rate him up with Karl Malone as one of the best PFs. WCB, If I was an NBA team GM with just 1 pick, and the career clocks were reset for PFs Barkley and Malone, I'd pick "Sir Charles" Barkley over "Mailman" Malone in a heartbeat. Why? Barkley was overall the better PF, especially when playing offense. His 3-point shooting stands out in comparison. Malone, on the other hand, was super strong and and practically unstoppable driving in the paint or when posting up for 10-12 foot 2s. Going the other way, Malone's defense was like a granite mountain. For your awareness, the San Antonio Spurs are my NBA team since 1979. P

I rate him up with Karl Malone as one of the best PFs. I think he is much better then Malone was. First off Malone is 6'9 while Barkley is 6'6. Yet Barkley was a stronger force and could shoot from the outside. Also, Barkley was good creating his own shot, had point guard skills in dribbling, how good would Malone be without Stockton? Barkley could carry the team on his back. Plus Barkley had one of the best personalities in the game, still does on TNT. I also will say this, Barkley had a much higher ceiling. People called him lazy, just think if he worked like MJ. Barkley was so naturally talented.

Single handily took the Suns to the Finals.
