Forward – Charles Barkley
An undersized power forward, Charles Barkley proved that size does not matter as he became one of the all-time greats. Barkley was drafted fifth overall by the Sixers in 1984. Initially, as a sixth man in his rookie season, he blossomed into a superstar with the guidance of Julius Erving and Moses Malone.
In eight seasons in Philadelphia, Barkley produced a lot of memories and controversies. He was also a six-time All-Star with the Sixers, winning All-Star Game MVP honors in 1991. Barkley was an All-NBA First Teamer in three years in Philly but he never led the team to a championship. Nevertheless, the franchise retired his No. 34 jersey in 2001.
