Barkley played out of his mind that season for the Suns. I also remeber Richard Dumas was taking it to Pippen; too bad drugs ruined Dumas’s career
i was a Barkley fan before Jordan. When he switched though, I lost some of my fervor.
outside the lines needs to do a story on guys like richard dumas
This is why Charles Barkley is the GOAT of NBA analysts. He’s always honest, stands firm in his beliefs until they have been proven false, and openly admits when he is wrong. When I start coaching soccer the one thing I will always tell the players on the team is that there is always someone out there who is better than you, that is why you train.
*dead
Y’all don’t see that boy Dan Majerle on the 1st flick. Marjerle standing there like “Pst! Jordan betta had drove in b/c I was about to put him on his back if I had to come over”
(is it clear that I was the only person in life who had a Dan Marjerle jersey? Smh… my cheap ass pops)
Out of the six Finals appearances, this was the only series that I really thought the Bulls would lose. The Suns were amazing that year, and Chicago was as well, but Sir Charles was playing out of his mind and legitimately won that MVP. It’s not like when Malone won it, and we all know he wasn’t the best player, or like when David Robinson won it, even though we all know that award belonged to The Dream.

Thunder mothafuckin Dan.
Those Suns jerseys were tough though.

Mark Jackson hands down. He’s pretty candid and that’s why people watch him but I often look at the screen with the “Duh, that’s pretty obvious” face when he starts to break things down and as far as basketball knowledge, he’s not even the best one on the set. Kenny the Jet is the one I go to for a coherent analysis.

Ive had my Majerle central michigan, gray with the red trim, no. 44 jersey for a minute now. There is a time and a place for it.
Mark Jackson hands down
=========================
I hear you. Analyst isnt the right word I guess, but out of the in studio people Id take Chuck. As far as in game goes, the notorious JVG and Mark Jackson are it.
Chuck isn’t the greatest analyst, but he is the most honest. He reminds me of that one guy in the barbershop who is always talking shit. And that’s why I like Chuck on TV lol.

Yeah… he is that.
SN: One thing I’ve noticed about the Miami Heats rotation is, it forces the role players to go for broke. B/c if you don’t, you really might be sitting court side in the next game. I’ve never seen a team that constantly changes it’s lineup from one game to the next like this team. I know it stems from them really trying to still figure themselves out but damn.
damn i forgot about richard dumas…i thought he was gonna be somebody, then i remember hearing he got caught up w drugs.
he had a lisp lol.
Dumas, a classic case of “what could have been.”
But for real, MJ AVERAGED 41-9-6. Lol that’s fuckin’ unreal.
(Yall don’t see Oliver Miller down there though haha)
Id have to go with Barkley for whatever he does. When he says something and it’s to the point where if he says the opposite of what I’m thinking, then I know I’m wrong lol.
Kenny is cool, but he kept repeating what Charles said during the NCAA tourney. Charles called him out like “you go first Kenny.” I was dying.
Chuck was about to lay hands on somebody in the audience in the post game show lol
Aye Cell yoon see dat boi Jordan rocking’nem Christmas day Retro 8′ air sporty jordys Tinker’s greatest creation
Barkley was a beast when he got to PHX, but there wasn’t anybody who had a legit chance to beat MJ and the Bulls when they were stacking Larry O’Briens. However, that Phoenix Suns team would’ve been the shit on NBA 2K11.
Plus those jerseys are a top 5 in NBA history IMO.
I didn’t like Barkley as a player at the time but I knew he was rippin’ that year. I remember watching that series as a kid and thinking the Bulls were in danger. A lot of heads blame Chuck for going for the steal but what if Ainge stayed home?

I prefer NBA on TNT first then NBA TV second when it comes to watching NBA games. Doug Collins had some really good in game analysis in his time on TNT. I’m not a fan of watching basketball on ESPN.
I dont like Marc Jackson for his infatuation with Kobe. He thinks that everything Kobe does is spectacular. Even when he isn’t commenting on a Laker game he manages to bring his ass up somehow.
Jordan!

========================
Collins is one of the best to ever do it from a commentating standpoint, IMO. He always called a good thing.
And about that Paxson three, I’ve long thought Ainge messed up by not staying on Paxson who was probably the second biggest threat on the court for Chicago at that point. I can also understand why he did though. If he doesn’t help, Horace Grant likely beats Mark West who had already committed to Pippen’s drive once he got by Barkley. Paxson isn’t wide open, but Grant gets the layup. Or maybe Horace gets fouled and misses one of two. Who knows? You still would rather give up the layup to tie than the three to win, but it was a pressure cooked moment and I’m sure Ainge himself has gone through that play plenty of times since then.
It’s all water under the bridge now however lol.
Sir Charles said that it was Jordan who would tell him to get stock options in his endorsment deals and showed him how to make money off this Biz. He has much respect for Mike.
Oh there was team that couldve contend for the title but phx knock us out.That Sonics team was stack that year with about 10 players that could contribute at any givin moment (smh at post lol)
“Winning one championship is hard enough; four or five or six is damn near impossible to wrap ones brain around.”
shit try winning 11, now that shit is unfathomable

Yeah, Collins was the most insightful analyst I can remember. Its a shame he had to come back and ruin some of these young boys careers on the sixers. He’s more useful behind the mic.
