They don't have characters like that anymore: Barkley, Darryl Dawkins, Laimbeer...players have too much to lose now.

Could you imagine a Rodman now?

That's one of the things I miss about those days. Today's players are so concerned about their legacies/image that they can't really get away with some of the things the guys in the past could.

Charles Barkley talks about playing drunk and the reaction is "Charles, you so crazy."

But if a Lebron or KD or someone like that said the same thing today...they'd be getting destroyed over it.

Barkley is perhaps one of the greater characters in NBA history.

Never did like Barkley - I remember the fight he had with Shaq who got him down on the ground and tried to ram his head with his fist - Too bad he failed

Well, it's like Laimbeer. Everyone hated him, but it was fun having him there.

Barkley was a thug without much talent - Can't say that about Laimbeer

You might be insane. Not much talent? Name another NBAer w/ 23,000 points & 12,000+ rebounds. Not much talent.

Then it's just the two of you, you and his mom.

He was like 6'4".

He was like 6'4".

I think it's safe to say the NBA will never see another rebounding machine (for his height) like Barkley.

The best was Barkley trying to one up Shaq saying that he should've won more titles in LA.

Shaq came out with (paraphrasing here) "I won 3 out of 4 Finals while there...I was traded because the owner knew I was getting older and told me he didn't want to pay me."

But Barkley's out here playing drunk, yet telling other players they underachieved. Classic.

Pretty sure Barkley takes a giant steaming crap on Lambeer in terms of overall career and talent.

At Least Lambeer got 2 NBA championships
