Charles Barkley weighed in Wednesday on a recent Twitter statement by LeBron James. Barkley, a TNT analyst and former NBA All-Star, said he hopes James remembers Barkley's critical comments and called a couple of James' more significant actions this summer "punk" moves.

It's odd that Lebron would think the criticism is that many feel they won't win a championship. The criticism has nothing to do with them winning. Most people expect them to win. The criticism is regarding the arrogance, ego and the amount of sissiness it took to run to be an assistant to Dwayne Wade.
I just hope that people will like me

Man, wish I had known this was posted here, started to make a thread on it but deleted it when I saw this!!! Charles is the Man. He has the ballz to say what many media head would like to but lack the guts the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

It's definitely going to be interesting to see. Their enforcer inside is Haslim. HASLIM. Big teams are going to give them fits inside. Wade and Bosch are terrible defenders, as is Mike Miller and just about everyone on the team. Teams will zone them to death. Boston already showed how you handle LB, pack in the middle and play physical when he steps below the arc. You do the same with Wade. I am a big doubter because what worked in Phoenix was that each player pretty much complimented each other and they have a couple of guys that are committed to defense like Grant Hill. LB or Wade will have to change or alter their games because there is too much duplication to compliment each other. Also, how will Wade take it once he suffers his obligatory injury only to sit on the sideline while LB steals his spot as number `1option. the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between.

America needs happy endings....but LB is a non issue when looking at the bigger picture as you are. Teachers getting paid a decent salary would be a happy ending....a rise in student test scores is a happy ending, the lowering of health care costs so my grandmother doesn't have to worry about her inability to afford her heart medication would be a happy ending.
LeBron is actually whats wrong with the country in my opinion. Him staying in Cleveland where his presence helped that economically suffering community a whole lot....that would have been a happy ending. Lebron growing up and actually becoming a man...that would also be a happy ending. Hope it happens some day the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between.

The whole thing was bizzare! Make announcement in Greenwich means he was leaning knicks.
The man wants a title run NOW. Can't blame him for that. I don't think the ecnomic viabilty of Cleveland should rest on his shoulders. He could have really made a graceful exit to witehr NY or Miami but we have learned that he is an egocentric monster and still a little boy not fully realizing his impact on OTHERS. Naturally we want them to fail. And that itself would make them more appealing in the long run. Its why so many like Sara Palin. She is much like so many ordinary people with ordinary problems. Lebron once he gets knocked off his horse will then be more appealing. He will sell the "Team" concept and who can really be critical for wanting to be part of a team? Lebron might be stupid but that itself will actually help him. |
