Recently, NBA legend Barkley talked about the great players on the "Pardon My Take".

Barkley said: "If you can't play without the ball, you will never be a great player. When you play with other good players, it's very simple. If you can play alone, there is no fun. I was the only one playing alone in my last few years in Philadelphia.

"When I went to the Suns, there were a lot of good players on the team, so I got the MVP. I'm stronger in Philadelphia than in the Sun, but with those helpers in the Sun, the game is easier for me. ”

Barkley won his only MVP in his career in his first season with the Suns, averaging 25.6 points, 12.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.
