| pokoko said: Barkley's teams didn't really do much until later in his career when he was on those excellent Suns teams, where the up-tempo approach was perfect for him. As for defense, mostly what he did was gamble on a steal. He could play good defense when he wanted but he was also famous for matador defense, as well. Barkley was one of the best to ever play but what I'm saying is that you could have said the same things about him as about Love. In Philly, he was a stat monster but they did little in the playoffs. |
You have to consider Barkley's size. Love is a freaking monster compared to Barkley (at least 6 inches taller). He should be able to dominate more instead of making meaningless plays for numbers. Barkley provided intagiables and hustle that Love simply doesn't, and he's more of a clutch performer as well.
