All-Time NBA Draft Final Four: addictionary vs. White Chocolate

[Elizah Huge]

"Barkley is like Magic and Bird in that they don't really play a position," Bill Walton said in a SLAM magazine issue ranking NBA greats. "He plays everything; he plays basketball. There is nobody who does what Barkley does. He's a dominant rebounder, a dominant defensive player, a three-point shooter, a dribbler, a playmaker."

For anyone who still thinks "Davis is a better player than Barkley at everything besides passing".

Walton is famous for hyperbole doe
He would probably say davis is a cross between wilt, russell, and jordan or something. It's what Walton is.

He called barkley a 3 point shooter lol

Major disrespect to Stockton and Barkley here.

I love, love, love Stockton...but he would struggle guarding Westbrook.

That's not a slight either, Westbrook is really good (on offense).

Pierce would absolutely torch Harden and the Pippen/Mashburn matchup is ****ing hilarious.

1) It's Bill Walton, he's a very kind analyst.

2) Calling Barkley a dominant defender and a 3-PT shooter is a stretch. For his career, he shot over 30% from 3 twice. He can shoot them for sure, he just doesn't do it well.

3) That's not a slight on Barkley. He was a great player. I think a player with the versatility and length of AD would be a tough matchup for him on both ends.

I didnt.
I said he is better 3 point shooter than barkley. (Which isn't saying much. Neither are good 3 point shooters)

I get it Westbrook/Davis are too big and athletic for Stockton/Barkley.

Which is wrong. The years we were comparing Barkley shot better on more attempts.
