Notice how Rashad at the end tried to emphasize how great MJ's contribution in closing that game, yet MJ still downplayed it and put it as a team effort, a mark of a true great team leader.
I said it before and I'll say it again, that team with that version of Barkley would have won the title against almost every other team in the last 50 years, except maybe the Kobe-Shaq Lakers and ofcourse the Bulls. He was very very unlucky facing that version of Jordan, the best version of a basketball player ever. Kids today see the names in the roster and they think they are bums, Majerly, KJ were bests both ends of the floor, and that unknown Dumas everyone thinks who the fuck is that dude, well let me tell you, that Dumas dude was potentially the second best player in that team and if he didn't have the drug and injury problems he'd be a multiple all star player, so yes the Suns were very strong.
Imagine if MJ's wrist wasn't injured in game 3 of the Eastern conference semis vs the Cavs.. He would've a better freethrow percentage and would've averaged at least 3-4 pts more. So 45 pts was doable. 😂
LeBron fan boys are too rpideful and ashamed to admit that their king is slowly going out sad and all the hype and emotion they fuled for their king is beginning to fade
Dan Marjele was on the 2nd team all defense that year and lead the league in three pointers made. Richard Dumas was ascending and turning into a great player in the league but unfortunately fell to drugs which derailed his career.
Honestly, Chuck a goat in his own right. Had he played his prime years in the Shaq/Kobe or Steph/LBJ era, he'd have had multiple championships and it'd be Shaq he'd be making fun of on Inside for lacking hardware.
This series, aside from being one of the most exciting Finals series ever, was one of the weirdest. Of all the games played by both teams that season, regular season and Finals, the home team won only ONE game. And the was Game Four of the Finals when MJ went off for 55 points.
When i hear this from Charles. I picture a sweet little girl that has an MVP father. That is worth more than any trophy. That is why he is Knighted Sir Charles. Hits me in the feels.
Michael Jordan speaks even better than Barak Obama. He would make a great president and more beloved than anyone else that has done it. Always credits the team and acts humble. Those are traits that %90 of today player with way less talent lack.
Quick question, and don't get me wrong, this is all opinion, but is there a better NBA Finals series by a losing player than Charles Barkley in this series? I remember Allen Iverson having a great 2001 series against the Lakers. Who else am I missing of the last 20-30 years?
Charles Barkley should have known better to have thought he was going to win that series I remember all of this like it was yesterday and he should not have been the MVP that year Michael showed him who the real MVP was
"6-0 in the finals is the most overrated stat! Losing in the finals or winning a bubble chip against an injured, lower-seeded Jimmy Butler team is way more impressive" Also: "Retiring between three-peats is such a quitter move. Jumping ship the minute your team gets destroyed is way more impressive" -People who hate basketball/Lebron fans
Barkley played incredibly well in the 93 finals and is himself an all-time great ring or no ring. He just ran into the greatest player of all time at close to, if not at, the peak of his powers.

Damn, I forgot Dumas looked like Dave Chappelle. Too bad he wasted his talent on drugs. When he was on, he was a great contributor

yo uncut hoops do you think Kobes 06 season was the greatest scoring season or maybe. 87 Jordan etc
This series imo, is MJs greatest Finals playoff series and challenge, if he doesnt average 9+pts over his regular season 32ppg…the Bulls lose.
💪👏🐐🐈⬛
I remember this series as a kid n I thought to myself..MJ isn't human. To this day I haven't seen a player make me think that

Barkley and Iverson are my two favourite players I think the two best players in the world to not win a ring
Am I the only one who thinks that Dan Majerle looks like the father of Blake Griffin?
The game of basketball is beautiful when you don't gotta see a 6'10" neanderthal charge into the lane every other play.

MJ in 1993: "it's a team effort."
Lebron in 2016: "I want my damn respect."
U is the best rebounder

Micheal Jordan with two 3peats, it was a team effort.
Lebron in 2016, It Was Me Effort.
😂😂😂
I saw that Finals. The Suns were a great team. MJ and the Bulls were just better. MJ was really like that.
And you forgot to mention that he was injured in those finals with a bad right wrist, thats why it was heavily taped @Uncut Hoops
I forgot Danny Ainge was on that Phoenix team!! Wow nostalgia overload!
The league should retire the number 23 #jordan

Lebron scored 40 Points or more Per Game on all 32 Teams , Twice 😂🦄👑✨⭐💫💫🌟🤦🧨🏆🤨🤯
Why is this comment section full of people hating on LeBron? Y'all ain't real basketball fans.

I don’t see how people can trash the Suns. They were so talented but MJ was otherworldly.
That Suns team would beat the LeChoke Blames Cavs easily 4-1 if they played in the Finals. LeStupid fans are clueless.

I bet there people that think if this suns team played the warriors that Draymond could guard Barkley.
So humble "it's a team effort".
LeBron would've said that one right there made him the greatest of all time
Barkley played incredibly well in the 93 finals and is himself an all-time great ring or no ring. He just ran into the greatest player of all time at close to, if not at, the peak of his powers.
This is why it’s just ridiculous when people say “it was just Barkley” on the suns
I wish we could've seen a Rockets/Bulls finals when MJ came back.
