Charles Barkley is one of the greatest NBA personalities due to his unwillingness to be tamed and fearlessness. Barkley was drafted fifth overall out of Auburn in the 1984 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. Instantly, Chuck became a force to reckoned with, with his interior offensive ability, defensive toughness, and scrappy style of play which earned him eleven NBA All-Star honors and even the 1995 Most Valuable Player Award as well.
Unfortunately, Charles Barkley was never able to earn an NBA title after bringing his Phoenix Suns team to the NBA Finals but fell short of achieving the NBA's highest honor to the Chicago Bulls in 1993. However, Barkley did earn two Olympic Gold medals with the 1992 Dream Team and 1996 US Olympic Men's Basketball team. These days, Chuck is all over the airwaves and is an analyst for Inside the NBA on TNT.
