I'm so ANGRY!!!!!!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CHARLES YOU BASTARD. FUCK YOU Just kidding. Who cares, honestly?
People that say beyond ridiculous things deserved to be called out. If you don't care, that's fine. Lmfao Aldridge is just a faker everyone
Yep. I heard players and coaches from both the Spurs and the Bulls commenting on how good Aldridge would be if he'd just stop faking it and play like he really meant it. Charles is good. Charles is great. Sometimes Charles makes less sense than a chocolate cake.....Faking, yup. Gramps...
Kevin Love is a white Charles Barkley. Short. Fat. Great rebounder. Terrific offensive game. Still trying to figure out the other 47 feet. Of course Barkley loves him. As for Griffin, the guy is amazing. I'm still waiting for the reasoning why Duncan has had a better year than Aldridge.
Hopefully Timmy decides to sit out the ASG and rest, deep down he knows he doesn't belong there this year.
Charles about had an aneurysm when they announced the all-star reserves and Love wasn't included. He ranted and raved for several minutes. To his credit, he was the only one on the show to even mention Aldridge.
If there is one stat you CAN fake in the NBA it is rebounds. It is the number one stat that does get faked. Assists are next on the list, but if you think about it there is not one stat that occurs more during a game than rebounds. They occur on offense and defense, and when foul shots are taken. I broke all of it down why the TweenWolves offer the most rebounding opportunities in the whole NBA. Here is the quick version: Most tos, most fouls hence trips to the line, they give up the most FGA in the NBA. K-loves stats are juiced as someone on youtube also broke down on a site linked to another post as well. LMA did deserve to go, but I think people forget how long our history is of All-star snubbage.
There is a lot of truth to what he is saying. But I agree with Sug, rebounding is a stat you can fake.
Charles is a bandwagoner. It's that simple. Sam Smith said it the other day. Kevin Love doesn't have 1/2 the offensive game that Aldridge has. He also lacks the ability to effect the game on the defensive end of the court. So I really don't know what Charles is saying, because I have watched Kevin Love quite a few times this year. The guy couldn't defend if his life depended on it. He has no go to move, where LA has a bunch of go to moves. He can't carry a team, where Lamarcus can carry a team.
Another thing about rebounds, at least offensive rebounds, they only happen after a missed shot. I remember one year the Warriors led the league in offensive rebounds and the local media kept singing their praises, although they also had one of the worst records in the league because they could not shoot for shit. OTOH - I'm not het up. Commentators can make fools of themselves, but like the saying goes, even if ungrammatical, ball don't lie.
Barkley's career average: Pts - 22.1 Rbs - 11.7 Blks - .83 Ast - 3.9 Stl - 1.54 LaMarcus this season: Pts - 21.6 Rbs - 9.1 Blks - 1.2 Ast - 2 Stl - 1.1 So Charles thinks he was a borderline All Star player during his career?
I like Chuck and Kevin Love has to be commended for what he does - he really is a fantastic utility guy - but let's be honest about it - you do not ask Barkley to comment on things he can't do - Golf, Defense, Lean Cuisine.
Chuck did play until he was 36... his later years were not kind to his overall stats. While it's true that he didn't play much D, if you compare his first 5 seasons to LA's it's CB in a landslide. Going on PER, only his rookie year did he not exceed LA's best (this season) http://www.basketball-reference.com...m=1&p1=barklch01&y1=1989&p2=aldrila01&y2=2011 dude being named to the 50 greatest wasn't a questionable selection STOMP
