Charles Barkley, nicknamed as 'Chuck', was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1984. During his eight-year tenure with the Sixers, Barkley averaged 23.6 points and 11.6 rebounds per game while shooting a gargantuan 64 percent from the field. He took his team to the Eastern Conference Finals in his rookie season.

Barkley was traded to the Pheonix Suns in 1993. In his first season only, Chuck was named the Most Valuable Player averaging 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. He led the Suns to the NBA Finals that year, but fell in six games to the Chicago Bulls, becoming yet another victim of Michael Jordan. In his four years with the Suns, Barkley averaged the highest PER in team history at 24.7 and therefore is easily one of the best players in their franchise history.

Even though Barkley didn't end his career with the best of finishes, asking for a trade to a contending squad, he is still one of the most entertaining and dominant power forwards to have ever played the game. He was so dominant down low, that the league had to change rules due to how easy it was for him to bully his way past defenders and hit a turnaround from the elbow. Although Charles never won a championship, he totally deserves his number 34 jersey retired by both the Sixers and the Suns.
