1986 Fleer basketball card of former pro basketball player Charles Barkley. Known as “The Round Mound of Rebound” in his playing days for his combination of hefty body type and domination of the boards, he was not the prototype power forward, being only 6’4. Still, he was one of the game’s dominant players who could rebound, score and create opportunities for teammates. “Sir Charles” was an 11-time NBA All Star, league MVP in 1993 and a member of the NBA’s 50th Anniversary team. He also played on the U.S. Olympic “Dream Team” that won gold medals in 1992 and 1996. His NBA career was split between the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, and he was elected to the basketball Hall of Fame in 2006. Barkley currently is an outspoken televison studio analyst for NBA telecasts.
