Você Sabia?
Barkley was officially listed at 6'6" throughout his career but is widely believed to have played closer to 6'4" — making his rebounding dominance even more extraordinary.
He is one of very few players in NBA history to average 20+ points and 10+ rebounds per game for an entire career at the power forward position.
His post-playing career as an NBA analyst on TNT's Inside the NBA has made him one of the most recognizable sports personalities in America.
Barkley famously predicted his own MVP season by declaring before the 1992-93 season that he would win the award — then backing it up with one of the most complete individual seasons in NBA history.
Conquistas da Carreira
Charles Barkley spent only four seasons in Phoenix, but he transformed the franchise forever. His 1993 MVP season and Finals run remain the defining chapter in Suns history.
