By Titan Frey View the original article to see embedded media. Charles Barkley is known to be one of the greatest players in NBA history. He’s certainly one of the greatest power forwards, but the one negative about his resume is the lack of a championship. Barkley had a great career, and he was on some good teams, but only once did he make it to the NBA Finals.
