Some young people today watch his highlights and gain respect for him. Barkley's Suns were 1pt away from beating Jordans Bulls for a ring. He got MVP that year in '93 because without him, Phoenix would have been almost dead last in the West. His defense from rebounds and blocking always put them into better positions to win.

About twelve years ago, I was on a lunchtime walk with two of co-workers in midtown Atlanta. One of them looked to her left and saw Charles standing in front of the hotel where he staying. I assume he was waiting for his ride to the studio. I walked back and asked Charles for a picture. He took the picture with one of my coworkers without hesitation. I had the confidence to approach him because l saw online previously a video with fans talking about how approachable Charles is if you are respectful to him.

Charles Barkley won the biggest title of them all, and this is the Olympic Gold Medal with the Dream Team in Barcelona ´92. Its bigger than an NBA title, which its just a national championship. There is no bigger award than winning representing your country in the olympics, and not only that, he was the best player on that team. A lot of people have won NBA titles, but to be the best player and to win gold with the original "Dream Team" is something that only Charles has. And a lot of players have been selected to represent the US at national championships, basketball teams etc, but to have played and won with the DREAM TEAM, the biggest team ever asambled is something thats bigger than everything.

When I was a kid, we had 4 channels - maybe a 5th if the rabbit-ears antenna was pointed the right way. Anyone remember those? I grew up watching 80s basketball and football and golf. Those guys were my heroes. My only regret or disappointment about Charles Barkley is never getting to play golf with him. That would'a been a great day.
