Charles Barkley: Celtics are gonna be contenders for the next 10 years

[j804]

Classic hyperbole from Chuck can't believe he's complimenting the Celts. He also says Danny got away with murder in the Fultz trade and that he's building a super power.

He was on a Phoenix radio station it starts at 4:30 and a little more talk at 13:27

I respect  chuck and what he has to say usually I agree with it

[Granath]

Barkley is complimenting the Celtics? Given how wrong he often is, I'm not sure this is a good thing.

This is the same dumbass who complained about IT crying over his sister's death, said the Cs were a "middle of the road" team when they won 48 games and were only one of 10 teams in NBA history to win 45 games and have a top 5 pick in the draft. And oh, those guys generally turned out really well.


PLAYER   TEAM   WINS   YEAR   PICK
Greg Ballard   Washington   48   1977   4
Mychal Thompson   Portland   58   1978   1
Magic Johnson   LA Lakers   47   1979   1
Kevin McHale   Boston   61   1980   3
James Worthy   LA Lakers   57   1982   1
Charles Barkley   Philadelphia   52   1984   5
Sam Bowie   Portland   48   1984   2
Len Bias   Boston   67   1986   2
Darko Milicic   Detroit   50   2003   2
Jaylen Brown   Boston   48   2016   3

Out of 9 players (can't include Jaylen yet), that's 4 true-blue HOFers. Ballard and Thompson were above average. Bias died before playing a game. The only true busts were Bowie (drugs) and Milicic (dumb choice). Those are pretty decent odds. But according to Chuckie, we were a middle of the road team.

Charles Barkley = Overblown Blowhard

Chuck is telling it like it is...

You're missing a team on that list

True dat. And probably Boston in 2018.

So after it's all said and done it will be 12 picks by teams over 45 wins in the top 5 and 7 HOFers, right?

[ConnerHenry]

The only true busts were Bowie (drugs) and Milicic (dumb choice).

Bowie broke his left tibia both in college and in his second NBA season, then his right tibia in his third pro season. He missed a full season+ of college ball and should be viewed like we do Greg Oden.

His bust status was not due to drugs.

[max215]

Barkley is not very smart and is usually wrong, so this probably isn't a good thing.

Bowie was a very good player, he just couldn't stay healthy. I don't recall him ever having any issue with drugs.

[JBcat]

We need a big who is a young star to seal the deal for a long term contender status.

He didn't complain about IT crying, he was complaining about how the media was exploiting IT's tragedy for a storyline during the playoffs. He was 100% right.

You sure? Look at the last 3 NBA title teams

[fairweatherfan]

Now we're definitely screwed.

I remember him saying that if IT can’t handle it, then he shouldn’t be out there at all since he was a distraction to his team

[CelticSooner]

After Ainge trades for Anthony Davis he'll look like a genius.
