Charles Barkley Recalls Playing Drunk After Celebrating Trade That Fell Through

[True Lakers Fan]

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

I never liked Barkley - Always considered him an asshole - still do

 

[The Derski]

I saw that. I also saw him and Shaq get really heated yesterday.

He should have left Phoenix and got onto a better team really.

Well, he did end up with the rockets, right?

That was one hell of a fight between Barkley and Shaq though. I may have to recant part of what I said though - I forgot that Lambeer was Pistons in that era which means he was also one of the Detroit Bad boys and a thug among thugs - That was about the time I started watching basketball

Came close to another nba finals with chucky there, but got sent home by a johm stockton three-pointer

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

It's weird, that guy's comment was literally the reverse of the truth. Laimbeer was the untalented thug. I almost think he actually made a mistake and put the names in the wrong order. No one could be that dumb and still know how to type words on a computer.

 

[msgkings322]

At Least Lambeer got 2 NBA championships

Uh, yeah well Will Perdue got 3.

 

[wildturkey]

Yeah yeah, its funny. Ok. Whatevs.

I'm more interested in what the actual trade was and why Philly backed out. Magic + Barkley could have totally reshaped the late 80s/early 90s.

How could you forget Laimbeer was on the Bad Boy Pistons? It is literally what he is known for. You claimed to remember his "talent" but can't remember that: gives your posts even less credibility, amazingly.

I'm sure that had nothing to do with Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars being the primary options on those team.

Guess Tristan Thompson's a better player than Barkley because he has a ring.

To each his own. No matter what you think of him he was still a helluva basketball player. If it makes you feel any better I think Kobe's an asshole though.

 

[trojanfan12]

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

Wow, just....wow.

 

[trojanfan12]

Pretty sure Chuck Nevitt has a ring too. I guess that makes him better than Barkley as well.

 

[trojanfan12]

I think Kobe, Lebron, MJ and few other guys were assholes as well. Doesn't mean they're not better than Laimbeer (who, btw, was also an asshole and arguably the dirtiest player in league history).

 

[trojanfan12]

Uh, yeah well Will Perdue got 3.

Also better than Barkley. - TLF

To me, that's part of the fun of that show. Those 2 can take it from funny to uncomfortable in a nanosecond. lol

I don't think athletes playing drunk is all that rare.
