i think its you that needs the help

Dude man, lay off him. You look like an ass right now. He openly admitted that he wasn't stating those guys as the 2nd best players of all time. He was pretty much asking if the players he had heard of rank towards the top.

From your reading ability it seems the only help I'd need from you would be deciding whether I 'want fries with that'.

Well I understood what you were trying to say so I thought your post had its share of input. I hope my feedback was of better use to you than spidey-dudes.

Yeah, I was just interested to see how the general outsider perspective matched up with the opinion of someone that knew what they were talking about.

Are you an idiot?

I added everyone there because they are well known, that was the whole point of the post. I said I know nothing about basketball. Again, this is all in the post (that you didn't read).

Oh, the irony. (You'll probably need to look that up, it's not a metal)

TheGame- apologies for the idiot.

Idiot- if you want to carry on embarrassing yourself, send it to my PM box, where I can delete it. Stop derailing the thread.

look in the mirror if you want to see an idiot. try not to break the mirror atleast

😆 Kindergarten humour, gotta love it.

Seriously though i dont get the Barkley hate, i can understand not liking the person but the dude was a great player.
At the time the league had never seen a player combine speed and power the way he did, he was a great low post scorer and probably the best rebounder for his size in the history of the league. Later in his career he was money from the top of the key and could even step out into 3pt land. He was an excellent passer from the post and off the dribble and he was also and underrated post defender and shot blocker.
Sure his personality rubs people the wrong way but if thats your beef with him then its got nothing to do with this thread because this is about basketball skills.

barkley was a great player when he had the ball in his own hands he just had trouble accociating with other players. thats how he got kicked off the 76ers and why the rockets didnt want him no more. his best carreer was when he was with the suns. i live in houston i went to that game where him and pippen almost got into a big ass fist fight and all cause of his attitude.

Michael Jordan got into fights with both Bill Cartwright and Steve Kerr, that has nothing to do with their skills and place in history. You've either got game or you havent, Barkley had plenty. It sounds more like you dont like the person which is fine but its not relevant to this thread.

i dont like him cause he made some mistakes for his teams. but hes a good player on his own. look him up how many times hes technically fouled in his career

Kobe has rubbed guys the wrong way too FYI.

hes also made a lot of game winning baskets. he was short, built like a brick and had enough speed to take people on. i think the man deserves a lot of respect. so he shoots his mouth off? gary payton was worse, john stockton was a dirty defender, rodman got into peoples heads and probably had the worst mouth of all, but all these guys could back it up. paytons defence was reknown, stockton is regarded as one of the greatest points ever, and rodman one of the best rebounders. and he wasnt that tall either.

he was stilll an asswhole to alot of players. thats one thing that messed up his carreeer alot

Funny how Barkley's gone from just being picked for being popular, to being ineligible for being a dick.

Seems like I'm not the only one who knows nothing about basketball.

Yes, and you, being an idiot, failed to read the post.

Then you claimed I only picked him for being popular.

Then, when the big people who actually know about basketball came and analysed his actual attributes, you started going on about his attitude.

It's obvious you're a 15 year old mug that doesn't know what he's on about.

Carry on making a 'full' of yourself. Or an 'asswhole'.
