WOW!! I was really impressed with Barkley in the Boston-Philly series. If he
can keep his desire, and control his temper, I think he is going to be one
hellava player. I couldn't believe the job he did on the boards in the 4th
game, and even in the fifth and final game he hit 3 of 3, 3 pointers. I think
Philly has really got a prize in Barkley. Somebody tell me, how could he NOT
be on the olympic team.

After all that Dr. J has done for the Sixers, Philly fans should be ashamed to
boo him. In fact the Sixer fans probably got just what they deserve, after
all they don't fill the Spectrum that often, and then they boo one of the
greatest players in the game? I just can't imagine that.

And his appetite. Of course, if he gets too enthusiastic here, he can always
make a bid to become the first ex-NBA player to start an NFL game as a
defensive end. :-)

That's easy. Crybobby Knight didn't like the way he played D.

I agree it was too bad he didn't make the Olympic team; I would have enjoyed
watching the poor Hong Kong team member assigned to guard Barkley try and
keep him off the boards. But, with all the talent available for the squad
and only 18 places to put them, there wasn't room for a player Knight
thought of as somewhat one-dimensional. And that's the way it goes.
