Charles Barkley in NBA 2K6

Happy Belated 60th Birthday to The Round Mound of Rebound! Since I put together a video re-creating the 1988 Dunk Contest to celebrate Michael Jordan’s birthday, I felt compelled to do something for Sir Charles as well. To that end, enjoy a highlight reel of Charles Barkley in NBA 2K6!

As long-time basketball gamers are painfully aware, Charles Barkley hasn’t officially appeared in many video games, with NBA 2K6 being one of the few following his retirement. He’s a member of both the 80s East and 90s West All-Decade teams in the game, and has a proper face and portrait, but he’s only referred to as Number 34 by the announcers. Nevertheless, he’s a lot of fun to use in NBA 2K6, especially when trying to re-create his signature coast-to-coast plays. Chuck was instrumental in mounting a comeback effort following an early deficit, rocking the rim with some fierce dunks along the way.

NBA 2K6 is a game that I’ve developed something of a fondness for – in no small part thanks to Chuck’s inclusion – so I expect that I’ll be covering it soon in Wayback Wednesday. In the meantime, I hope you enjoyed these highlights! I also encourage you to subscribe to the NLSC YouTube channel, as Dee and I are frequently uploading videos, from highlight reels to retrospectives and other features. As always, let us know if there’s a game that you’d like to see us play over Parsec!
