Lebron James Goes Scorched Earth On Charles Barkley, Snaps Over Recent Criticism

... good players? He don't want to compete?". According to Mc Menamin, after ESPN asked Cavs center Tristan Thompson about Barkley's criticisms, James piped up, saying: "He's a hater. What makes what he says credible? Because he's on TV?". James then went scorched earth on Barkley, recalling several of Barkley's infamous incidents during his career. "I'm not going to let him disrespect my legacy like that. I'm not the one who threw somebody through a window. I never spit on a kid. I never had unpaid debt in Las Vegas. I never said, 'I'm not a role model.' I never showed up to All-Star Weekend on Sunday because I was in Vegas all weekend partying. "All I've done for my entire career is represent the NBA the right way. Fourteen years, never got in trouble. Respected the game. Print that.". James also addressed Barkley's criticisms of his friendship with Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony, saying ...

Lebron James, Tyronn Lue Say Charles Barkley's Critiques Don't Make Sense

... could somehow assert the organization wasn't fully invested in trying to repeat as champs, given the $130 million payroll, among other expenses occured and players acquired (see Korver). James correctly pointed out that decisions were made to go with cheaper, younger players at the end of the roster, and that "dead" roster spots were not cleared because of the tax implications. (Quick side note: As you may recall, James' quotes from Monday night, when he unleashed his frustration, were laced with profanity. James said he "got a call from the NBA" about it.). Those players helped prove James' point Friday night. After James left the game for good, with 4:49 to go, the Nets scored an additional 20 points to make what should've been a blowout a much closer game. Winning will help the air to clear, though the Cavs will have to do a lot more than beat the Nets - the NBA's worst team. A Sunday home win against Oklahoma City and Russell Westbrook would be nice. Griffin huddled with James in the locker room after the game Friday night. What they were discussing - a ...

Heat’s Udonis Haslem Defends Lebron James In Spat With Charles Barkley

... the NBA the right way. Fourteen years, never got in trouble. Respected the game. Print that.”. James’ comments didn’t surprise Heat forward Udonis Haslem. The thing that surprised Haslem is that it took so long for James to respond to Barkley. “He should have went at him sooner,” said Haslem, who was James’ teammate in Miami during the Big Three era. “Chuck be tripping, man. I’ve been saying that for a long time. Ever since we put together the Big Three, it seems like he never had nothing positive to say about Le Bron or D-Wade. They’re better than me. I would have been went at him. “At the end of the day, we understand that you get paid to do your job. But don’t see somebody and smile to their face, and then when you get on TV all you’re doing is stabbing people. That’s what we call throwing rocks and hiding ...

Watch: Joel Embiid makes his tiniest fan's day (but still no snowman). By The 700 __link__ January 31, 2017 1:10 PM. Philadelphia 76 ers fans are falling in love with Joel Embiid even when he's not playing in games. That was the case again last night for young little Charlotte. If you're unfamiliar with Charlotte's social media rise, she caught some buzz for her love of the movie Frozen and everyone's favorite Sixers big man. That buzz caught enough steam to the point where she was able to meet Jo Jo prior to the win over the Kings last night. Which, of course, led to even more adorableness. Do you want to build a ...

Russell Westbrook Calls Charles Barkley ‘the Worst’ When It Comes To Fashion Sense

... TNT/status/824950103932755969?ref_src=twsrc%5 Etfw. “He’s the worst,” Westbrook said during the team’s 109-98 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Westbrook laughed at an old outfit Barkley wore in the early ’90 s that consisted of a shiny, eggplant-hued tank top and shorts set, a pair of espadrilles and a man purse, before also adding that Barkley continues to struggle in that department today. “He’s the worst dresser on that [TNT] panel — by far,” Westbrook said. “Chuck is terrible!”. Barkley didn’t seem too offended by Westbrook’s comments, though. “I might be in first place, but he’s a close second,” Barkley said on the broadcast. Commenting on the ensemble in which Westbrook arrived to the arena earlier that night, one that consisted of a short and tight pair of torn jeans, a wrinkled flannel shirt and a white bomber jacket, Barkley got in the last word in the night’s back-and-forth. “He lives in Oklahoma,” Westbrook said. “He probably got a tractor in the backyard. ...

Lebron James Unleashes Sick Burns On 'hater' Charles Barkley

... model" in a 1993 Nike commercial. "All I've done for my entire career is represent the NBA the right way," James continued. "Fourteen years, never got in trouble. Respected the game. Print that.". You get the idea. James had a laundry list of sick burns just waiting to be unleashed. But how exactly did this feud begin. Well, Barkley has been a James "hater" for a while it seems. In 2010, James held an hour-long television special, " The Decision ," to announce his free agent signing with the Miami Heat. Barkley called it a "punk move.". “That was torture. I want that hour back in my life," said Barkley, who — to be fair — wasn't the only one who didn't like "The Decision.". Barkley has also consistently kept Le Bron James off his list of all-time NBA greats. Barkley confirmed that decision last summer, just days after James won his third championship ring and third NBA Finals MVP award. Charles Barkley just named his top-7 NBA players of all-time. 1 Jordan. — Mike & Mike (@Mike And Mike) June 20, 2016. Dwayne Wade — who played for Miami alongside James — backed up his former ...

Le Bron James went where the Warriors and so many others must have dreamed of going. He slayed Charles Barkley. James spoke with ESPN on Monday night after a stunning loss to the Mavericks. And he was not happy that Barkley had questioned his leadership. "He's a hater," James said. "What makes what he says credible? Because he's on TV?". Barkley's certainly a hater. But wait, let's get to the really good stuff (bold is ours). "I'm not going to let him disrespect my legacy like that," James told ESPN. " I'm not the one who threw somebody through a window.
