"How many rings do you have?"
-Every single time a champion argues....and starts being proved wrong...he answers with this
Stain Gretzky you play to win rings that puts you into the best of the best category so that's why players bring it up but obviously that doesn't determine everything because Horry isn't better than Jordan even tho Horry has more rings.... rings are like the ultimate get out of jail free card when debating sports hahaha
Tha Ruthless 1_ AZF but it’s like they use it to be condescending pg guys like Barkley when no one that size could’ve gotten more out of their career than he did
Tha Ruthless 1_ AZF Can you please use periods bro, jc
Same thing when LeBron haters try to argue the LeBron vs MJ debate and start loosing
dear god hes not better than jordan, even if he wins 10 more rings
When Shaq is losing an argument he shouts and throws his rings at Charles. Give a valid explanation keep your emotions out of it. Acts like a child a little too much at times.
jackson james YOU PLAY IN THE NBA FOR RINGS!!!
Shaq does have 4 rings with 3fmvp and Barkley never got one. Lol
jackson james Barkley started it by saying Wade was the man and getting personal. Rings was a justified argument because Chuck got personal first.
KingMickD kobe and wade were the best players. He couldnt do it if they werent on the team
Mr SS If Kobe was the better pkayer than why did Shaq get the fmvps for all of the 3 rings he got on the Lakers lol. Wade was better than shaq at the time but shaq was on the decline at that timeas he was older
Barkley was a monster in his prime
cookie monster lol jk
Dr. Joseph Grant III A FCKN MONSTER!!!!!!
Dr. Joseph Grant III apparently Chris Broussard never heard of him.
A monster eater
Yes he was, but best inch for inch player ever? I'm not quite ready to there. Barkley was known for being overweight and lazy, and having a bad attitude. Great player, but I'm not ready to put his lack of a ring down to his height.
i feel like chris brousord is on like 10 shows a day
Yea he's the best analyst
All of FS1s shows are shot in the same studio. He just hits all of them before he leaves.
Zach Thompson Bruh I was watching Undisputed one day and Cowherd's little area where he has his show was literally like 20 feet away from the Undisputed desk
Not on espn anymore tho
Gary Valentine 😂😂😂 now that was funny. everybody wants him
If Charles had Kobe and Wade in their prime im sure he would have a couple championships as well
GameMaster Gary THANK YOU
GameMaster Gary FCKN FACTS@!!!!!!
No he wouldn't. SMH Shaq is top 10 all time Barkley is barely top 50.
Probably not shaq average like 35 point in the playoff and demanded a double to triple team ...
He wasn't beating PRIME MJ!! LMFAO!!
Im laughing so hard at when whitlock pauses and goes "I gotta be careful here" and Caron Butler responds with "Say it with ya chest!" whitlock looked like he was really about to go at Shaq then got so scared to say what he really wanted to say hahaha
caron is kevin harts uncle😂
All these young bloods saying Barkley is not 6’-4”. Charles has said it himself, its not even disputed by fans who saw him play. Everyone knows he is a legit 6’-4”, people think he bigger than he is cause of how he played. Mad respect for Sir Charles.
Justice Montes Thats why they give lebron 6’9” and give A.I. 6 ft. Guys who play smaller like steph get 6’2 . Preech
was mike 6"4?
etuboldon boldon no he was 6'6"
He was 6'6...measured 6'4.75 w/o shoes and stood same height as jordan side by side...still undersized to say the least
Im 38 years old and if Chuck is 6'4 so is MJ, cause they are the same height.
Heart says rockets in 7. Head says warriors in 6
Adam Barett follow your heart..
GSW in 5
Another warrior hater jumping on the rockets bandwagon. How ironic
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that James harden somehow someway got fouled during this set...
LouiiQ v 😂😂😂
If it helps the win total, I say Amen!!
Lol
Caron Butler at the end, cold as ice.
Bdentz E.J. I was talking about when he said “what about the death lineup?” How the table froze.
Tuff juice: You wanna know the record of the Death Lineup?
Shitlock: It aint 50-5.
Tuff juice: It's championships.
Mic. Drop.
He got irritated after whitlock interrupts him while making his point, good comeback.
I love the last question. I wonder what the record is for the death line-up? ITS CHAMPIONSHIPS!
Suns only championship appearances was with Barkley and BECAUSE of SIR CHARLES
Charles Barkley is criminally underrated, i can make a legit case he’s the 2nd greatest power forward ever 🤔
Harold G you are wrong
KG and Malone are better PFs.
Harold G 1. Duncan
2. Dirk
3. Garnett
4. Malone/Barkley
1. Duncan
2. KG
3. Dirk
.4 Barkley
5. Malone
malone duncan kg dirk petitt bosh..no ypu can't...
Brousard, Shaq had a better team than Barkley. Basketball is a team sport. Shaq got swept in Orlando and won in L.A. and Miami. He was on better teams with better supporting cast and had Kobe and DWade and the rest of the team to than for those rings. Basketball is a team sport. Brousard is a low key Barkley hater.
Shaq was really young on Orlando. He was unstoppable in his prime
U not gonna tell the full story ? Shaw beat the bulls in Orlando ....
Colin says to baby stars that are in cities that don't attract stars......does he forget the show yesterday where he said, "trade Westbrook and no one stands up to him"??
john wells Colin to be fair doesn’t even write his own points. Or even his god awful job related but never accurate metaphors lol
yeah these people just repeat whatever their bosses tell them to say
Westbrook and DeMar are not the same. You can build a team around DeMar because you can play with him but not with Russ
I don't know if demar is good enough you can build a team around him but yeah you can play with him and not westbrook
For him, the rules are different when Westbrook is involved
What's the record for the death lineup? The room went so silent.. :D
Colin Cowherd IS A CLOWN! GETTING CRUSHED IN THIS!! LOL
Broussard too tho oddly enough
Light skinned suburban boys lmao
Tom Goodfellow That was hilarious lmao
soooo racist lmao
Tom Goodfellow that was actually a good one, Whitlock!😂😂😂
koonlock bringing up irrelevant stuff again..kd is light skin?...lol...since when..hes from dc boy...
Barna Szabo he’s 240.
GSW in 5
Chris Broussard will always be the Goat. I agree with everything he say. He speak for the logical fans
LeBron haters do the same thing that Shaq did to Charles when they start loosing the LeBron vs MJ debate
Ball Hog mj is better get over it
That's all they can say, when it comes to that "debate"....
LeBron> Jordan it ain’t even close
Ball Hog MJ=overrated
Game 5 elimination game 1988 Jordan scores 2 points in fourth
Game 5 elimination game 1989 Jordan scores 18 total and 1 point in fourth
1995 ECF Jordan has two turnovers in final minute of game to give Orlando the win
Not to mention the multiple times he was swept out of the first round
Jordan plays for bulls 1993 they win 57 games, doesn’t play 1994 they win 55 games
LeBron brings teams to finals than when he leaves they get the first pick
In the 90s the NBA added 6 expansion teams, spreading out talent, watered down NBA
1996 the NBA had the record for most teams with under 20 wins
Jordan never had to face zone defenses, illegal defense was beneficial to Jordan’s scoring sucsess. Give Kobe those rules and he will average more points than Jordan.
NBA promoted Jordan being the “goat” for marketing purposes

Huh...fair point honestly
I love Colin's reactions 3:50
That fake laugh by Cowherd at 1:45
Lol
Chris Broussard on Charles Barkley is definitely wrong AF. Charles Barkley if he was 7'2 would have been ridiculous
The whole Planet plays Football? WTF? I hope "Collin Cuckold" didn't meant American Football.
Barkley was the dominant player on the dream team!!! THE dream team!!! There's absolutely no writing the NBA story without him
"I cannot stand or sing the Anthem. I cannot salute the flag, I know that I am a black man in a white world."
-Jackie Robinson
As a pure basketball player, Barkley was better than Shaq. In LA and in Miami, Shaq had the good fortune of playing with 2 HOF elite players in their prime. Had Barkley been given that opportunity, he would have multiple rings.
Warriors in 5 y’all added that fuel they needed
Everyone talks about not seeing another Jordan or Magic or whoever. Barkley is actually the one no one compares to at his size and height to do the things he did.
That wasn’t the argument, they didn’t address it here. Barkley argument was that you can’t win with coach not getting along with the best player of the team. Dumb Shaq said it’s not true that he won a championship and didn’t get along with pat riley hahaha, then Barkley said he wasn’t the best player in that team it was wade, that only made Barkley’s points. When Shaq was the best player in his champions he did get along with the coach with it was Phil Jackson
Someone who actually paid attention lol
Usually agree with Broussard but how can you tell the story of NBA without Charles Barkley? Just the list of MVP
SHAQ was lazy
32 32 if I was 7 1 and three hundred and something pounds I'll be lazy too lol
32 32 and a clown, a more likeable dwight Howard.
If Shaq had kept his Orlando Magic era physique he would've been the greates ever. But he had to eat like a pig and become slow.
Esteban Aguayo ha ha, greatest ever? Never shot over 60% from the line, had one move and couldn't shoot from ten feet out. The Dream and David Robinson schooled Shaq every time they played him.
@@turdferguson3855 Lmaoo the dream did but David Robinson? Shaq BULLIED him and tim duncan treated them like rag dolls dont try to rewrite history you must've forgot lol
That Ending about Light-skinned Brothers was Funny.
That bald dude is not lightskinned
Kritikal Sniping Krew lol he is delusional
"That bald dude." 😂
RoseCurry AndDeRozan who is dat like caron butler
Color complexes are rampant in the Black community. Also, you are 100% correct, Caron is not.
肌の黒い I already know lol im black and light (don't care about colors tho)
When he said “all them light skin suburban brothers” I lost it 😷😷😂😂🤣🤣
I agree with Whitlock. Shaq gets butthurt so quick that he flashes a ring like he’s the only person to ever win one. Barkley was a bad dude back when he played.
Barkley helped make the game a worldwide game
I can understand favoring Golden State in the series. They are the team that has proved it the last 3 or 4 years and obviously are the world champions. But to sit here and say that Houston has no chance and it's going to be a short series isn't giving Houston any respect. I want to know what they going ti say if houston is able to pull this series out. Just saying..
Jaylon Reed first of all, Houston hasn't proven anything yet.
I understand and that was part of my point. but to say they dont have a chance and it could be a short series isnt getting any respect. they were the 1 seed and had the best record for a reason. at least say its going to be a 6 or 7 games series then i could respect that. lol
Barkley is 6'4" and always have been. If anyone says otherwise, either you don't know your basketball history, or you're a casual fan.
Wtf are y'all doubting the warriors? Are y'all negating the warriors?
The last time that happened, someone nearly got swept.
I'm quite sure everyone had warriors the favorite that finals don't know what u talking about
The Reaper Nick Wright and Colin cowherd said that the Cavs would easily win that series on this show.
This was an excellent conversation.
The show was better before SHAQ got put on permanent...
EDtv never that the chemistry that shaq has with Charles Barkley is beautiful.. even if they get under each other's skin.. the only thing that would make it better is if Kobe Bryant join the cast
It’s always the ones who’ve never played in the NBA 🤷🏾♂️😂
S B what NBA team did you play for?
I literally can not stand Jason Whitlock.
Coach Cardoso ....this is not literal
Livy The Bugs! #DaddyVlog Don’t speak to me please. Worthless filth.
I never thought the day would come where I agree with Whitlock.
If shaq didnt have kobe and wade and he was the best player on the team, he wouldnt have NO RINGS
Mr SS Shaq had 3fmvps cor the rimgs he won with Kobe he was the better player.
KingMickD Finals MVPs were won against the weak big men of the East. No way Shaq was beating that 2000 Portland team with Rasheed and Sabonis, Duncan's Spurs, or Webber's Kings without Kobe. In 2001 and 2002 it was Kobe who was the difference maker against the Spurs.
BlueWave same can be said about Kobe. In fact, without Shaq, Kobe would not even pass 2nd round.
Cheng Chung Chow Kobe won 2 rings without Shaq
blackcobra1981 With Gasol and Bynum who was the second best big at the time after Dwight. Y'all making it seem like Kobe was hooping by himself.
Probably the only time I'll ever agree with Whitlock about anything.
The rockets are gonna let you down. It would be a miracle if they get 2 games
Yeah, I have a feeling Harden AND Paul are gonna melt down. Harden without a doubt though. I think he'll have two good games max
I team that made it to the wcf will melt under pressure? No one had this team doing anything all year.. It's like people wanted them to fail.. It's going to be a dogg fight of a series..
No, everyone expected them to make the conference finals. They have TOO much talent to choke by the second round. Its just that no one realistically expects them to move pass the conference finals, let alone win a chip with that much pressure.
Keep that energy lol I’ll be back in the section during the series
whats sad is if you put LeBron there they would win in 5..
"Jason: Capella, Paul, Harden 50-5,
Butler: Death Line Up - Championships".
LMAO..
Whitlock is Charles mentor so of course Jason is going to ride his guy all the way home. However Chris is like many of the young nba fans today when it comes to viewing charles Barkley’s legacy. He’s a clown on tv but his game was unprecedented before the 21 st century. An underside frontcourt player that played like a guard and a big at the same time. He was before his time.
11:05 The face of Witlock when Caron told him the record of the starting 5 of the GSW to shut his regular season record argument, priceless...lol
Who else loves Speak For Yourself?
Jean-Paul de la Fuente 2nd favourite sports show after Undisputed
i like the format..colin and whitlock arent very good at debating but they really found a nice little new way to debate and be more like tnt ..nice..they didnt do what skip bayless did aka just take the idea from 1st and 10 back in 2004 aka 1 minjte debates to making most of the show debates calling it first take to taking it fs1 fox and not really changing the format...
Hazacar Robinson same
Asmosis Jones true
When you see old photos of barkley next to mj , you can clearly tell he is about two inches shorter
barkley saying kobe carried shaq was a disrespectful lie. comments like that prove youre hurt and reaching.
mindbully yeah it's kind of funny cuz it's pretty much the other way around he's the one with the 3 NBA Finals MVPs
mindbully Shaq dominated in those 3 finals against trash centers he didn’t have to worry about on offense
Go back to game 7 of the 2000 WCF and see how 22 year old Kobe carried Shaq who was the mvp and scored just 18 points
Yeah but shaq got Personal first
Isiah Williams yes he did. Listen to the clip.
mindbully...you misheard. barkley said kobe and wade drug shaq up and down the court. That was true because shaq was not in great shape and shaq admitted that he didn t get into shape because he had kobe and knew kobe would bring it every night.
Collin taking a long sip from his drink at the end of this segment when Whitlock and em are joking about "Light skin suburban boys" is everything!!
Warriors in 5 🏀 but who cares we already knew this before the season started. Hope the rockets win to stop what we all know is about to happen
I like Caron Butler he should be a guest more often. Seems like he makes sense and isn't too biased one way or the other. Stephen Jackson is good too.
Dubs in 5
Caron Butler gave great insights!
So now Charles Barkley is 6ft 4? 😂 that man is 6’6 at the least! Smh lol
listed at 6'6 but ball players are usually smaller than their official height.
I believe Chuck is 6'5 not 6'4. MJ is slightly taller than Chuck who is 6'6.
Tyree Browne no hes actually 6"4 thats been a known fact for yrs
Nick Jaramillo no it's not stop brah pull up evidence or
Tyree Browne he’s 6ft 4.5
I'm droolin over the beatdown the dubs will give
Kevin Durant vs Trevor Ariza
A fair and balanced matchup
fau2an100 what
Not a chance. Trevor can't stop KD.
KD is gonna average 28 for that series. Nobody's stopping the Spaghetti Ripper.
"Good Morning Shaq"
Shaq: "You ain't got 4 rings tho, I'm a champion. You know.nothing about that Chuck".
......
so number 3 in chicago was Kukoc ?
What about someone named Dennis Rodman ?
Colin really doesn't know sh*t about basketball
Offensively, yes. Kukoc was a big who shot 3s.

Akashi Rose
Gucci Savage Kobe played under those rules as a rookie and was garbage....
Dennis Rodman was a 40 year old REBOUNDER, that's all. Basketball is an offensive game, Toni Kukoc did wayyyyyyy more offensively than Rodman did
"You can say that about Lebron and Allen Iverson..." - Correct Chris, you can make that same point!
Barkley was not 6’4
Skrt Yes he is actually
This is a common known fact that NBA players height changes on a weekly basis it's a phenomenon that has bewildered humans since the existence of basketball lol
Naw Barkley was 6'5 -6'6 same height as Draymond green he could not play pf at no 6'4, non hoopers SMH
Jalil Johnson draymond is listed as 6’7 buddy
Jalil Johnson - Chuck said himself he is 6’4” . KD is still listed at 6’9” and he has been 6’11-7ft for years. They lie bout height a lot
Great discourse.
7 game series?!!! LOLOLOLOL. Warriors in 5
CHRIS BROUSSARD IS FUNNY HAHAHAHAHAHA I LIKE THE FACT HES REAL AF
GSW didn't get a favorable matchup? No kwahi, or cousins? Biased at its best....
Curry wasn't playing in the first round, so San Antonio not having Kwahi was a wash. The Pelicans played a lot better without Cousins because they were able to push the pace and play faster than any team in the league. If I were them, I wouldn't re-sign Cousins because they played better without him.
Brandon Brown exactly
Nice segment. Well spoken and good chemistry imo.
Wasn’t Charles like 6’6 or 6’7?🤔
Marc Ochoa nah 6’4 homie
He was dont know why ppl say his 6'4
Hoodie Melo
Go check his mug shots when he was arrested........he was listed at 6'6 1/2
Maxamad Cabdi Xassan Westbrook listed at 6'3 but is same height as James Harden who is listed 6'5. Listed height not always accurate.
Charles was listed at 6'6" but he has said that he was measured at 6'4 3/4"
Coraun Butler 1000% correct
Charles Barkley is not 6'4 fatboy Whitlock, he's 6'6. Shaq isn't 7'2, he is 7'1
Stephen Markelov he was 6'5 he shorter then M.J.
Shaq is 7 feet tall. Players are listed with shoes on. Chamberlain was 7,2 barefooted. Every player's height today is fake.
Stephen Markelov depends on if shoes are on. He's shorter than Jordan
Charles 22p 12r 4a, Shaq 24 11 3 career ave... I grew up watching both of this guys. In that era to get that much of rebounds at 6'4. I could only wish and imagine what would he have done if was 7'2 lol
9:49 when someone disagrees with a point you"re not even making
Sir Charles was/is Highyly underrated. A 6 foot 4/5 PF dominating bigs downlow in an era where only Bigs like Ewing,Mouring,The Dream,Shaq had a chance. Broussard crazy
One of the fews times I agree with Jason Whitlock
just notice how chris and caron keep exchanging looks and snickers everytime whitlock says something about golden state and houston
Lets be honest we would have to write a 50+ chapter book about the nba in order for anyone to mention charles in it
I agree with Shaq. No need for Casey to apologize to Derozan
Tell em Caron-best point made!
That guy was hella backing Barkley up cause he sees himself in Barkley 😂
all these people in the comments saying charles was better than shaq without caring about rings. But than say lebron ain't close to mj because he went 6-0 in the finals smh
No, talent wise Le4-6 isn't even close to Jordan's level. You must be blind, look at the hof players Jordan dominated, he kept a lot of great players from winning a chip, and some from not even getting to the nba finals. Le4-6 hasn't kept his top rivals from winning chips.(KD, Kawhi, Steph, Dirk, ) Anyway, Jordan over Le4-6 rings or not.
@@jaybethatdude a player who can do anything on the court isn't close to a another player talent wise. How exactly do that make sense? Btw you just said talent wise and pointed out something that has 0 to do with talent.
@@jaybethatdude Also mj didn't only play in the nba 6 years other teams won while he was playing.
@@hardythomas21 you're right, but i'm talking about during his championship run, other than the time he was away, and his first year back. Now Le4-6's run was(and this is what i consider his championship run) starting with the Heat, right on up until now, his third leg of his chip chasing. Anyway, this is my opinion, and you have yours.
@@hardythomas21 ?
"I wonder what the record is for the death lineup?"
"It's not 50-5."
"It's championships."
When the playoffs started the talking heads said that Houston had the tougher road to the finals. Now they're saying that Houston had an easier trip to the finals. Wow!
Chris Broussard schooling everybody everyday
Shaq was a big tall and heavy guy without any skills. THAT is Shaq. Charles had way more skills but was smaller and played in the wrong era. THAT is the difference.
That's like comparing your favorite drink to favorite food, no? Shaq and Barkley each brought an uniqueness to the game and revolutionize what we have today folks! If anything, Barkley might inch past Shaq post career but both polarized the NBA just about equally. They were both MONSTERS!!!
Good conversation.
I feel bad for Barkley because he didn't have nearly the help that Shaq had. Go watch old footage of Barkley, dude was a straight beast!!!
Everybody keep missing the point, Shaq did not say Chuck was wrong on saying players and coaches need good relationships, Shaq was initially responding to Chuck saying, "coach Casey needs to apologize to Derozen" play the whole clip that's how the media always do pple they edit it and change the narrative
Chuck said himself he is 6’4” . KD is still listed at 6’9” and he has been 6’11-7ft for years. They lie bout height a lot
Both valid points
6:53.....Did Chris say "Poo Pooing"?!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
If barkey is a 7 footer.. my God! He would've dominate his era.
The best MJ vs Lebron debate will be in this thread.
All of you who never followed NBA until just 10 years ago should really shut up with the argument that Shaq was 2nd fiddle to Kobe and Wade. This argument was started by Pippen on a social media beef with Shaq and has now been copied by Barkley just to insult Shaq. Barkley never even approved of Kobe's selfish game the same way he doesn't approve of Westbrook's selfish game. Barkley only recently started heaping praise on Kobe as an all-time great during his farewell year at same time everyone else was jumping on the bandwagon. From 2004 until 2008 when Lakers acquired Gasol in a trade, Lakers were a losing team and fans kept regretting that Shaq was traded instead of Kobe. And yes, that period included Kobe's 81 point game that everyone seems so enamored about nowadays when mentioning Kobe's greatness, not realizing that everyone back then was joking around how bad the Lakers still were. How about Wade's Heat when Shaq wasn't around? They lost in the 2nd round in 2004. They missed the playoffs in 2008. They lost in the 1st round in 2009 and 2010. Then Lebron and Bosh came along. Wade was great, but not that great.
You have no idea how unstoppable Shaq was and how worried the entire NBA was with Shaq's dominance that they had to finally allow use of zone defense sometime in 2003 or 2004 after decades of not allowing it. NBA was fine with Jordan dominating one-one-one but they couldn't let Shaq dominate one-on-one much longer. This was even while every team was using the hack-a-Shaq strategy.
