anthony davis wouls t have lasted 4 years in the 80s and 90s nba. That bitch Would break a nail and want 10 games off.

WTF does the 80's and 90's have to do with AD's talent?
I'm not denying he's fragile, he certainly is, but he could sit out half his career and still be better than Charles.
We can't afford a loss to a pesky UGA team. They are playing well a loss there would really set us back
Don't think you have to worry too much. I expect Tennessee to come out hungry on Saturday.
I don't see any automatic wins anywhere in this conference. Everyone seems to be playing like their lives depend on it.
Other than your win over Ole Miss and Auburn’s win at Arkansas, these games have been really competitive.
Saturday should be interesting and that's not even counting the road games Houston and KU have.

I'm a joke, because I don't agree with your trrrrrible take?
AD has 2 titles to his name, Barkley has zero. AD could have retired 3 years ago and he would have had a better career than Chuck. It’s just a fact.
Funny thing is, I'm a huge Barkley guy, he’s awesome, but he has zero titles.
titles are a team award. Have nothing to with a 1 on 1 comparison. Stop it. Yes you are a joke
The Athletic has Barkley ranked 22nd all time and Davis 53rd.
Nah, Jeff isn't a homer at all. 😆

If the competition was about getting a ribbon for competing in the most games, yeah, Barkley would win, but to this point in their careers, AD is more decorated and he has more accomplishments.
As far as the team accomplishment point, AD isn’t just some roll player, he is and always has been, the focal point of every team they play.
AD, in his 1 year of college basketball, was NPOY and NDPOY. Charles never reached either of those and he played 4 years in college. Never won a title either. Case closed.
Uhh, that might have something to do with the fact that AD is still playing. Charles played 17 total years. Maybe get a clue.
Also, in.my opinion, there isn't a UK player that can even be in the top 10 greatest players and I always argue that Jordan… a North Carolina guy, is the best player of all time, the GOAT. So you can shove that homer shit.
LOL. Arguing that a Kentucky alum was better than Jordan would be beyond homerism.
And I'm sure Davis is going to make up 30+ spots on the all-time list after playing a few more seasons in his 30s. 😆
Keep in mind, it's all opinions and everyone bases opinions on different facts.
If Charles had just 1 title, I would put him ahead of AD and never even think twice about it, but in my mind, he wasn't good enough to take his teams to that level, AD was and what he did in college, at 19 years old, as a freshman, is phenomenal.
Anyone that can win a title on a team coached by Calipari, automatically gets bumped 20 places on the all time list (halfway kidding).
One last point, I don't gaf about the NBA, I just don't. I'm a college sports fan and if you care to look, we are on a college basketball forum. So, that has a lot of influence on me for this topic.
For their careers:
AD: 24.1 PPG, 1.3 STL, 2.3 BLK, 2.4 AST, 10.5 REB
Barkley: 22.1 PPG, 1.5 STL, .8 BLK, 3.9 AST, 11.7 REB
Stats are close. AD leads in points and blocks. Barkley leads in steals, assists, and reboud.
AD has a title, Barkley doesn't.
AD > Barkley
AD: 24.1 PPG, 1.3 STL, 2.3 BLK, 2.4 AST, 10.5 REB

What's more interesting to me, is we can post impressive stats for a good amount of Kentucky players in the NBA. Past and present. Auburns second claim to fame is Walker fvcking Kessler. What a joke.
A lot easier to stat stuff in this era than the 80s/90s. I do think Barkley would fair better in today’s game than AD would have in the old days (it was just so physical).
That’s not to take away from AD. He is a phenomenal player and the Lakers don’t take that title without him being rested and healthy. But I just don’t think the stat v stat is necessarily a great way to compare players across different decades. At least not to come up with a “who is better” argument.
I think the overall argument of who is better is pretty dumb though. Auburn hasn’t had too many “NBA greats” and their program has been mostly irrelevant throughout history. Not sure what arguing about one player who was once with them versus one player who was once with Kentucky proves.
Crazy how it works both ways. Players today are better than years past, yet players in the past are better than those today.
Good thing for stats. Equalizer.
I’d say they’re better shooters and they are allowed to do moves that they couldn’t do before (euro-step would have been called a travel). The rules were also changed to benefit offense at the expense of defense with hand checking no longer allowed and a lot less contact allowed. There are a lot more layups now because of the style of play and nobody playing in the post, and a ton more threes. The game used to have a lot more in between.
I think certain players back then would have been more successful in today’s game and vice versa. The great ones would have been pretty effective in any.
If AD didn't have such a sensitive vagina he would be one of the more dominant players of his era. Alas, injuries have really derailed his career. When he's 100% (which is rare) he's def one of the best in the game though.
lebron was the focal point of the lakers title. Stop it. Barkley never got close to playing in college with a team as stacked as the 2012 kentucky team. Only dumb homer UK fans would take davis here
anthony davis wouldnt last 4 years in a 90s nba. nothibg equaloIng about that. The dude is a gigantic bitch
its a message board dumbfvxk. People pointing out grammer errors are ones that are getting their ass kicked in the actual discussion. Provide something of value or stfu
Everyone uses titles as some sort measuring stick when comparing players. I guess its too much from some folks to handle in this case, where stats are similar.
But no one uses them as the only measuring stick. Other than that one guy in this thread, of course.
When one claims to have '2 degrees' don't get your panties in a wad when someone points out your stupidity.... which is definitely not limited to your spelling and grammar mistakes.
