NBA Legend Charles Barkley Calls Out NBA in Support of The NHL
Charles Barkley and Charles Oakley were tough players in the 80s NBA.
Barkley recently compared the toughness of the NBA and NHL, suggesting an NBA player would retire if they got 75 stitches, while an NHL player would keep playing.
«If an NBA player got 75 stitches he'd retire.»
The toughness in the NBA and NHL are from 2 different planets.
Many fans miss the physical style of play in the NBA, which has shifted towards offense. Barkley's comments reflect the evolving nature of both sports over the past 30 years, with significant differences between them now.
