I think Michael Jordan did irreparable damage to Charles Barkley's ability to judge teams based on the team concept and not on the superstar concept. Sorry Charles but the NBA is starting to evolve back into the concept of great teams winning over great individual talents. You are just blinded by this because of your traumatic experience of never being able to beat MJ.
Chuck, a team with Lebron or Wade or Howard or Moses Malone and 4 other guys from the neighborhood can no longer beat a great team with an exceptional team defensive philosophy. And, sorry again, but Kobe and soft boys aren't going to be able to do it either. It's time to swallow that pride and admit that the Boston Celtics are the best NBA TEAM of the past three years, Charles. Or at least after the dispose of the Fakers it will be.
