    All good points so far.

    What really aggravates me are the LIES about Barkley. Over and over again, I have heard Barkley admit that his soft defense probably cost him a le, and that if he had it all to do over again, he would have worked harder on defense. Barkley has also said many, many times that Philadelphia should have repeated, and that it was not due to lack of talent. (He blames it on key injuries, however.)

    Barkley shoots off his mouth A LOT, but he is more than capable of some genuine reflection and self-criticism.

    Plus he supported Manu for the All-Star Game and was probably the only telecaster to keep his seat rightfully planted on the Spurs bandwagon all season long.

    Barkley used to bug me, but then he started with his GIIIINOOOOBIIIILIIII ish, and I quickly saw the error of my ways. Besides, who can't help but love a guy who still hasn't figured out the difference between your and you're and still manages to work in public relations.

    So assuming you have Jerry West #2 you are putting Gervin over Kobe Bryant, Clyde Drexler, Pistol Pete, Earl Monroe, Julius Erving, and Sam Jones?
    WOW! Some put Dr. J as a SF but he was really a SG.

    Your arguments about DRob are off base. Duncan and Hakeem are pretty soft-spoken, stay out of trouble, "good" guys like DRob and aren't as criticized by the media as DRob. Neither Duncan nor hakeem are chest thumpers. They just happen to have led their teams to les as #1 options, unlike Dave.

    His points about Robinson not being clutch are pretty accurate and his points about Robinson's game declining in the playoffs are accurate as well. His comments about not beign a good defender or just having a weak FT line jumper, though, are pretty off base. What he should have said is that Robinson's failure to ever develop a go-to move is what prevented him from crackign that first tier of super elites.
    David's supporting cast during his years as the Spur's #1 option were not as great as Duncan's or Hakeem's during their own le runs.

    In fact, the mere fact that David's pre-'96 teams could even make the conference finals is a testament to his greatness.
