Charles Barkley “Blood, Sweat and Talent". Roger Clemens. Mark Messier. Ronnie Lott. Charles Barkley. What things do these athletes have in common? Every one of them is among the elite players of their sport. But more than that, they all strive to make those around them the best they can be. That built-in desire, a tireless determination and tremendous talent make them different from your run-of-the-mill superstar. Playing the game to the hilt is a responsibility Charles Barkley lives for and expects from his teammates. And just as with the other players, his desire becomes the team's desire, and winning becomes contagious. His numbers are staggering. He is a five-time NBA All-Star, four-time All-NBA First Team selection and a three-time recipient of the Schick statistical Player-of-the-Year Award. Barkley has been the Sixers' leading scorer for the last five seasons and top rebounder for the last six. The former "Round Mound" is now a muscular, chipped, nicked and bruised warrior that nightly goes out and gives all he has. The former NBA rebounding leader just needs a Championship Ring so he can rest, finally content.
