Barkley was not looked at as the 2nd best player of his time. Not even close. Hakeem was much better, as were a few others. Malone was better. Over half Barkley's career overlapped Bird and Magic. There's Isaiah Thomas and many others.

I'll say this about Barkley. He led the Dream Team in scoring over Jordan, field goal percentage over the best bigs of all -time, and 3 point percentage over Bird. Not bad.

He may not have been. He played amongst the trees even though MJ was taller than he was. Many, and I mean many, thought he had the best Olympics of any Dream Teamer.
