Charles Barkley and the TNT crew just ripped Lebron a new a*******hole

[HEAT111]

When TNT NBA pre-show started when Ernie had the introduction, did a basketball landed on lebron's face?

its definitely true, but guys like barkley and webber really shouldn't be saying stuff like this. webber was a huge choker in big moments and games and barkley probably cared less about winning than any other great player ever.

just feels weird hearing those guys call out other players....especially wade who already did something neither of them could in their entire careers.

They're paid to talk, even if it seems hypocritical and stupid, that's what there hired to do.

Oh come on, we all know Barkley would have won a championship had he not played in the Jordan era. Webber was a controversial game away from winning one too.

theres a difference when the lakers and bulls are in your way than when its the dallas mavericks being in the way. barkley and webber were def good enough to win a ring in their BIG years, they just ran into dynasties and proven champions. wade was good enough too, to beat the p*ssies in dallas.

but by that logic none of us should be commenting on the game or players since they are doing something that we can't do?

Agreed but hey their careers are over and now they are just mouth pieces etc. Both of them are entertaining to watch. I say ship Kenny out and bring in Sir Charles and C-Webb.

Well we have opinions on the matter too, so I mean, isn't that hypocritical also?

i love both webber and charles. i would just like to see former athletes be a little more respectful of current players.

we don't need more guys like skip bayless who acts like its so easy....he's never done anything in sports....he doesn't understand how hard it truly is.

c-webb and chuck know this.

[KingJay718]

He was dead on about Wade. I knew Wade was gonna take a step back. But he can't do that. It's his team. He needs to take the last shot. Be the Wade from 08-09.

fans are different from analysts.

and i have no problem with opinions.

i just think webber and barkley should have been a little more professional about it as former players. thats all.
