Charles Barkley didn't say 'I can't jump." He said, upon his retirement fron the NBA, "I can't jump, anymore. I got 'white man's disease." There's a substantial difference. C.B. was one of the best players in NBA history and in his early career could dominate a game from the power forward position at 6'4". He said he was 6'6", but was proven wrong when a 'stand in' was needed to be the same height as Charles for a commercial being shot and the 6'6" guy was too tall.

He also said, " Larry Bird, Larry Bird...why does everybody keep talkin' about Larry Bird? Kevin McCale was much tougher for me to defend...all elbows, knees and that sweet 'step-back' jumper. Man, he used to give me nightmares!" Quoted from the Jim Rome show.

Sorry to have digressed...just a point of clarification.

As always Azizi, right on the mark.
