To be fair, Barkley was always the more lovable player. Not better or more respected, but he was always good for a fun quote.

I made the mistake of drafting a bunch of DET/PHI players. St-Brown, Barkley, Hurts, LaPorta all on bye. I'm playing the #1 team in the league, and my best players this week are Deebo Samuel and Josh Jacobs. Oy.

Imagine telling someone 30 years ago that in the future Charles Barkley would be a more beloved figure than Michael Jordan.

Ultrarunning fans will recognize Jon Kelly as a three-time finisher of the brutal Barkley Marathons.

This guy has one of the weirder statuses in the commercial character firmament. Like he's been demoted to doing 5 second clips saying "dig this bank, and uh here's Charles Barkley", but they keep him around anyway.

Please let him sound like Charles Barkley when he talks.

Now we just need Charles Barkley.
