This is not a really accurate post. True, Barkley did play with Olajuwon for four seasons. The last season though, Barkley only played 20 games so I wouldn't really count that season.
1997-53 games
1998-68 games (only started 41)
1999-42 games (50 game season because of strike)
2000-20 games
How much of an effect did Barkley have on Olajuwon's defense rebounding numbers? Obviously he had some but I don't think it's significant like you claim. Olajuwon ranked #1 in the league in DR% in 1989 and in 1990. He fell to #2 in 1991. He fell to #6 in 1992. Down to #8 in 1993. He was out of the top 10 in 1994 and was #10 in 1995. This goes along with what Cannon says. As Hakeem's offensive game grew, his defensive game slid. He was dropping further and further down the list in this stat category before Barkley even got there.
