Sponsored by Dean of Students Office Oregon Daily Emerald Sports Barkley still can’t beat Jordan Boy. oh boy, do 1 find sorry for good of Charlie Barkley. l.ook at the guy. For years, he has had to deal with being the star who was never quite ns good ns the superstars Yes. he's a groat player But ho was just not in the same league as "Mag ic" Johnson, Michael Jordan and I.arry Bird. While Magic. Bird and Jordan all led their teams to NBA Championships. Barkley was stuck playing with a bunch of stiffs for much of his career, giv ing high-fives to Mnnule Bol for hitting one of those silly three pointers in another Sixers' loss, rather than drenching his team mates with champagne. Eventually. Chuck got traded to a team that had the possibili ty to win a title, the Phoenix Suns. Charles was happy. Phoenix was happy, and it seemed like Chuckv and the Suns would go all the wav Wrong. Jordan and the Bulls disgraced the Suns and Barkley in the playoffs Then Jordan retired. Barkley desperately wanted to bent Jordan once, just once Barkley even won the MVP last season, but who's going to remember that ? What everyone will remember is the fact that Jordan led the Bulls to three straight over the Suns. When Jordan retired, it reminded me of when Mike Tvson was sent to prison No matter who wins the heavy weight title while Tyson is in r! DaveCharbonneai prison, it's not the true title, because tho real champion is behind liars. Whoever wins the title this coming NBA season should have an asterisk next to 1904 saying "* The year after (ordan retired.” No one knows this more than Charles. At least Charles can feel better because. after all. he is, without a doubt, the best player in tho NBA He will be the man to car ry the torch of popularity for the NBA Right' Once again, wrong. Now that Jordan is gone, no one cares about those veterans anymore. Jordan. Bird and Magic have been replaced by Shaquille O'Neal. Alonzo Mourning and l.arry Johnson. These are the guys who are going to carry the NBA into the next century. Besides, most fans can't stand Barkley, the NBA front office is tired of dealing with him. and even his own coach seems to get a little irritated with Barkley's mouth at times Face it. he's not as media friendly as Jordan and Magic ware. In fact, he's not even as media-friendly as Sean Ponn at times. Iordan's retirement had to crush Barkley Besides the fact they wore such "great friends,” — oh yeah, I'm sure Jordan just jumped at the chance to pal around Chuck — there's just nothing for Barkley to do in the NBA anymore. If he wins a title, he'll still have to deal with everyone say ing. "Yeah, but you'd never have heat the Bulls if they still had Jordan." To make matters worse, Barkley has reached his peak and will have to watch as one by one the young guys pass him on the scale of popularity. So last week, Barkley announced he will prohably retire at the end of this season. Hey Charles, no one tares! Barkley's announcement was a sad attempt to once again steal the headlines from Jordan, but it didn't work. I don't recall "Date line NBC" interrupting its show to announce Barkley's plans. Go ahead, Charles. Retire at the end of the season. The big story when the 1993-94 season comes to close won't be "Will Barkley really retire?" It will be "Will Jordan come back?" Charles should take golf more seriously. Maybe, with a lot of practice, he'll he able to Iwat Jor dan on the links. He never will on the court.
