<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Umair15:</div><div class="quote_post">omg..its funny how you team leaders team up to take on a noob like me.. listen i am saying that Barkley is like Battier who played 3 and 4 in their careers.</div> The point is they're not alike. Battier played more on the wing, while Barkley played in the post. Barkley was a 3/4 while Battier was a 2/3.

The thing we are trying to do is to have you realize your error. The way you stated it previously it sounded as though you were saying Barkley was primarily a SG/SF like Battier and played the PF spot occasionally, which is not the case. Barkley was primarily a PF who rarely played SF. Now that we have that cleared up let?s get this thread back no topic.
OK.. well I want to let you guys know one thing. If you think I am wrong about something..Please let me know..because I didnt know..Instead of just saying stuff that made me feel bad..Can you guys please like try to help me and tell me?? Because I didnt know
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Locke:</div><div class="quote_post">What's next, Michael Jordan played center?</div> Wasn't he??
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">^^Thats unreal that both of them did it. I cant go 5 games without fouling out </div> Malone didn't quite go his whole career without fouling out. But it was close: source He fouled out on in the game prior to January 7th, 1978. He did not foul in any of the following 1,212 regular season games in his career. Not sure about the playoffs. For his career, he averaged only 2.7 fouls per 40 minutes. He averaged 3.6 fouls per 40 minutes in the playoffs. Wilt played 1045 regular season games (and 160 playoffs games) without fouling out. Amazingly, he averaged only 1.7 fouls per 40 minutes in the regular season, and only 2.1 fouls per 40 minutes in the playoffs. Here are the bottom 50 in career fouls per minute, minimum 500 games played. Wilt, a man who averaged over 20 rebounds a game and possibly close to 10 blocks a game for his career, leads the list; and if you notice every other player on the list is a perimeter player!

Because I didnt know</div> Don't feel bad. Charles Barkley is one of the great PFs of all time. For someone who never saw him play, it's easy to mistake his position because he was only 6'5 or 6'6 in height. But don't let that fool you. He was an annual leader in rebounds and (first half of his career) FG%. His combination of size and skills was very unique. I can't think of any modern players who play like he did.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Locke:</div><div class="quote_post">First time I've met someone who thought Barkley played SG. What's next, Michael Jordan played center?</div> Locke take it easy ok? Dont think I am dumb either..ok? I said I started watching basketball 3 years ago. So i really wasn't suppose to know that. Thanks Durvasa for helping me unlike Locke. I never really watched Barkley play so how was I suppose to know. Locke, you didnt have to make a big deal out of it, all you had to do was tell me "No Umair, Barkley played PF" thats it, instead of making a big deal about it. And also thanks to Best Kept Secret for helping.

Not knowing certain historical facts about the game doesn't make you dumb, and I'm sure Locke would agree.
I hope he does. Yesterday he told me to get some basketball knowledge and I am sure he wasn't playing
C:Wilt Chamberlain PF:Moses Malone SF:Charles Barkley SG:Julius Erving PG:Allen Iverson 6th Man:Toney (because he was so clutch)
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Umair15:</div><div class="quote_post">Im not slow dude.. I know who he is. I just never knew what position he played.. Im no 40 years old. I am a 14 year old who came to U.S. 6 years ago. How the heck would I know what position Barkley played?? As far as I know, he play SF or SG. But I guess he was like Battier. Played 4 also..</div>What I don't get is why you almost tried to correct everybody on Barkley's position. If you, yourself, are aware of your lack of historical knowledge, then why would you disregard all the lineups ahead of you that had Charles at the 4? If you've only been an NBA fan for 3 years, isn't there a good chance that most other people are going to have a better recollection of what happened more than 3 years ago? Or better yet, maybe you shouldn't post in a historical thread if you have no historical knowledge, and are openly aware of it. Anyways, my lineup looks like this: PG- Cheeks SG- Iverson SF- Erving PF- Malone C- Chamberlain
Take it easy guys. Umair, it's okay. Nobody was trying to offend you, people were just trying to give you some info. All those smart remarks were just people joking around. lol. It's all good.
Im over it now. Its all good. Now i know that Barkley was a 4 that played 3 sometimes. My new list is: PG: Iverson SG: Erving SF: Barkley PF: Malone C: Chamberlain Thats the best that it gets
Why can't weeee be frieeennnddss. Why can't weeee be frieeennnddsss. Ok here is my All-Time Sixers lineup: PG: Maurice Cheeks SG: Allen Iverson SF: Julius Erving PF: Moses Malone C: Wilt Chamberlain
