Thursday Throwback Posterization: Barkley Dunked On by 3 Bulls

This week, we have Charles Barkley during his 76ers days getting dunked on by three different players on the Bulls. I'm not entirely sure if this is all in the same game, but all three dunks are at the Chicago Stadium, so it is possible.

For the first dunk, Scottie Pippen rebounds a missed shot by Barkley, takes it coast to coast, and runs right through two 76ers to deliver the jam over Sir Charles. This sequence makes it pretty clear why Barkley got fed up playing for Philly back then. His teammates basically watch Pippen go in for the dunk, while Barkley actually makes an attempt to get the block. Scottie gets some serious air on that one.

The second Bull to victimize Barkley is none other than Michael Jordan. MJ gets the pass down low, spins around the defender, and serves it up so hard that Barkley falls straight on his ass. I love how Jordan hangs on the rim for a moment looking down at Barkley as if to say, "Don't even try to block me, son."

Lastly, Jordan initiates the fast break off of a Sixers' turnover and finds Horace Grant running the floor with a perfect bounce pass. Grant, who unfortunately isn't wearing his famed Rec Specs, takes it up strong over Barkley. Because the video quality looks different on this dunk, it makes me question if it's from the same game as the first two. But Barkley's defeated body language after the dunk makes me suspect that it could be from the same game.

Don't worry, Charles. There's brighter days ahead playing alongside Kevin Johnson and Dan Majerle in Phoenix. I hate to break it to you though, but in the end, the Bulls get the best of you once again. Sorry, Chuck.
