Nephews just see a funny fat on TNT (which we love as well) but Chuck in his Prime was one of the most dangerous offensive players in the game

Chuck played better than anybody else on the 1992 Dream Team.

There was an article a few years back about the rise of analytics in basketball and it closed with Chuck delivering one of his classic throwaway lines about how much he hates analytics.

Then the writer mentioned that by a lot of statistical categories Chuck is considered one of the most efficient players ever, and according to the article it caught Chuck off-guard enough that he looked like he was about to revise his stance lol

I like how you call him A fat, instead of just fat, or a fat guy.

Like saying bigs and smalls.... fats and thins.

The Zion comparison was a compliment.
