Professor Barkley’s First Theorem of Jump Shooting: A big man who makes 3-pointers is good for nothing.

Professor Barkley’s Second Theorem of Jump Shooting: If you live by the 3, you’ll die by the 3.

Professor Barkley’s Third Theorem of Jump Shooting: Jump shooting teams are too soft for the physicality of playoff basketball.

In the end, Sir Charles Barkley will go down in history as the 34th-most prolific 3-point shooter of the 20th Century, with more than 2,000 three-pointers attempted thru the 1999-2000 season. During his career, he shot nearly as many 3s as Chris Mullin and more than his other contemporaries, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.

So, the next time Sir Charles Barkley tells you that jump-shooting teams can’t win the championship, remember to show him some respect. The man’s an expert in the field.

How come Charles has said he likes Leonard's game then?

Talk about a misleading figure to show.

he did shoot 2000+ threes in his career, but A: he shot 26% from 3, and B: it averages out to less than 2 per game in his career.

And Bird retired long before 3 pointers started to become an important shot in the NBA.

I remember Chuckles taking ill-advised 3s in the biggest moments of playoff games and I was thinking wtf didn't he post up?
It was his pressure situation default shot.

I should change the title of this thread to Why Charles Barkley Hates the Blazers.
