    Chuck would feel differently if he had a ring, i would imagine. by taking this position, he is neutralizing the accomplishments of others and closing the gap of the haves and have nots.

    Teams with Barkley don’t win rings.

    Was never really close to becoming an issue.

    Does Barkley become a top all time greatest player IF he had a championship ring?

    He is a top all time great player. Easily top 25-30. A championship doesn’t move the needle past guys already ahead of him. I mean he’s clearly better than someone like Scottie Pippen who has 6.

    Just wondering on other’s thoughts because less the ring...
    I too think he should be in the upper tier of all time players. If he had the ring does he move up into say the top 15ish? Karl Malone and John Stockton, too.

    Classic sour grapes whine from Barkley. If he had won the ring with Houston, he would have no problem flaunting it.
