FromTheLand+FollowPeople Better Not Forget How Good Charles Barkley WasThere was a time — and real ones know — when Charles Barkley was the third-best player alive. The only guys ahead? Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon. He bullied 7-footers nightly, outran guards, and outjumped centers. 1993 MVP: 25 PPG on 52% shooting, nearly 12 boards a game. Fast break? Freight train. Rebound? His. Post up? Spin, shoulder, bucket. Don’t let the TV banter fool you — prime Chuck was an all-time dog and a top-tier Hall of Famer. #NBA #CharlesBarkley #NBALegends #HallOfFame #BasketballHistory #NBAMVP #Sports 447Share
Beth Holland+FollowDirk’s 2005–2007 Run Deserves More LoveDirk Nowitzki was on another level from 2005 to 2007, but people barely talk about it now. In ‘04-05, he put up 27.1 points per 75 possessions on elite efficiency and led the Mavs to 58 wins. The next year? Nearly 30 points per 75, 60 wins, and a trip to the Finals. Then in ‘06-07, Dirk averaged 28.2 per 75 with ridiculous efficiency (+6.4 rTS%) as Dallas won 67 games, going an insane 67-11 after an 0-4 start. These were some of the best years of his career—and some of the most underrated stretches by any superstar. Are Dirk’s mid-2000s seasons getting forgotten in all-time conversations? #DirkNowitzki #Mavericks #NBAHistory #NBAMVP #UnderratedGreats #ThrowbackNBA #Sports #NBA 410Share
