Charles Barkley’s time with Philadelphia 76ers: The story behind his statue

Last month, Charles Barkley got a statue of himself on the Legends Walk trail, situated outside the Philadelphia 76ers‘ practice facility. Barkley was one of the best forwards to ever play for the team. He averaged 23. 3 points and 11.6 rebounds over the course of his eight-year career in Philadelphia.

It is worth noticing that Barkley came from the same draft class as Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan, who both affected the outcome of Barkley’s career. He spent his career with the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets.
