Yeah, Barkley was pretty much washed up when I started watching basketball. It's fun seeing old clips when he was super athletic.

I remember watching him score 63 points at Boston Garden. Best scoring performance I’ve ever seen
Celtics would go on to win the title in 1986

Didnt they have to move back the freethrow line because of him?
Or made a rule against slam dunking from the freethrow?

Oh, different guy.
I remember a picture of Jordan, he was wearing a ring on every finger and smiling.
