This season, Charles Barkley has reached Ah Gan in terms of willpower and determination.
In terms of skills and abilities, he's not as good as Ah Gan, but in basketball, it's enough to get the ball in.
Skills are a means, not an end. When it comes to getting the ball into the basket, Barkley is qualified.
However, Barkley has one aspect that falls short compared to Gan Guoyang, which is also the reason many stars fall short compared to Gan Guoyang:
Stamina.
Many commentators have mentioned that Ah Gan's stamina is a crucial reason for his superiority over others.
To use a martial arts novel analogy, Ah Gan, as a top master, not only has exquisite moves but also extremely deep inner strength, which flows like an inexhaustible source.
Other masters can match Ah Gan for a while, evenly matched, but over time, they can't keep up with his stamina.
Barkley is already superb in terms of physical fitness, a phenomenal fat beast that can play 48 minutes a game without issue.
