Count then-Suns forward Charles Barkley among the many victims of the Bulls' dominance in the 1990s.
In 1993, Barkley led a powerful Phoenix team into the NBA Finals against Chicago. The Bulls were at their absolute peak, with guard Michael Jordan averaging 32.6 points per game and forward Scottie Pippen making his third All-Star Game in four years. Despite the Suns’ best efforts, Chicago won the series in six games.
That Finals spelled doom for Barkley's best shot at a ring. However, 30 years later, Barkley is one of the most respected sports analysts on television, and in a position to comment on Jordan and Pippen's icy relationship.
