Barkley: Kawhi is the best player, not curry(or Lebron)

[Alamо]

Bold.


From the Christmas eve Mike&mike podcast. Merry Christmas by the way

[raprap]

I disagree. But it's good to see the league improve tho, last year was brutal with all the injuries. Merry Christmas bro :cheers:

Barkley says a lot of stupid sh*t.

[GIF REACTION]

Awkward!

[DMV2]

other thread told me charles said lebron was the best.

He stated Lebron is in the mix with Kawhi as the best player. Also said Curry isn't a good defender after giving stats about points he's allowed va players he's as to guard this year.

[MoBe1Kanobi]

Charles Barkley isn't an analyst

He's a grown ass 9 year old who used to play basketball at an all star level that they chose to let say the "darnedest things"on camera for ratings

[LoneyROY7]

Barkley saying dumb things isn't noteworthy.

[WayOfWade]

And you trust Barkley on this?

[sammichoffate]

Not yet, at least.

[T_L_P]

Come on Barkley. Kawhi is top five atm but Curry is putting up 31/5/6 on the best scoring efficiency ever and he was incredibly effective in last year's Playoffs when he won the title as his team's best player (Kawhi, on the other hand, completely fizzled out after an extraordinary Regular Season when healthy).

Barkley ate crow last year after shitting on the Warriors and he's still trying to do. Legit one of the worst people who analyse the game out there.

[TommyGriffin]

KD sucks.

[Funktion]

Barkley will never show respect to a "jump shooting" NBA champion. Barkley loves to troll.

[konex]

I still say Curry but I don't like that they hide him vs. top PGs a lot. I will revise if this keeps up

[Alamо]

KD sucks.


I feel like KD has about as much talent and potential as Kawhi/Lebron/Curry put together, but they're all playing better right now. They all seem to be hungrier and work harder for some reason

KD doesn't have as much talent/potential as LeBron had, let alone all three put together. Better jump shooting and taller yes, but far less athletic and inferior vision

[FKAri]

Might be true after what I saw today.

Well scoring wise, which is what most people seem to care about. Nobody gets buckets as easy as KD

I think he's taking it easier, he went all out and re injured himself last season. OKC isn't even playing well and is comfortably the 3rd seed in the West so it isn't cause for concern yet. Skillwise I think KD is 2nd to none in the league.

[ralph_i_el]

It came out that Pop was having Kawhi watch Barkley film, and now Barkley is all over his nuts.

[keep-itreal]

Kawhi can't close out games consistently

[90sgoat]

Kawhi wouldn't have played as bad as Curry and Lebron did today:facepalm

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Kawhi plays mistake free basketball which is why his advanced numbers are so crazy. But he doesnt take those risks, go that extra gear that the top tier superstars need to at times. He just plays his game and remains at a certain level

hes barely had a 30pt game this season. Doesnt need to get everyone involved b/c of spurs system/movement. We havent seen him need to take on a massive role in the defense and just turn it on to another level defensively because of how good defenders and schemes Spurs use.
