Lebron James says: Bow Down To Your King, Sir Charles

Charles Barkley opened the gates of hell last week with belittling remarks about LeBron James. Sir Charles called LeBron “whiny”. This in regard to LeBron’s recent criticism of the Cleveland Cavaliers and their lack of playmakers around him.

When asked about Charles Barkley’s remark, James decided not to take the high road.  Instead he told reporters, “He’s a hater. What makes what he says credible? Because he’s on TV?”

LeBron didn’t stop his tirade there. He instead, messed around and got a triple double on Barkley’s dark past.

“I’m not going to let him disrespect my legacy like that,” he told ESPN. “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.”

“I collect one paycheck from this,” James said. “There’s the owner, Griff’s the GM, I’m the player. Screw Charles Barkley.”

I love everything LeBron James said about the hater he need to stop drinking at work. TNT can I stop by and get a drink

Much like Charles Oakley, I love that LeBron decided to stand up for himself. Barkley has embodied the role of hypocritical analystLeBron was spot on with his comments about Barkley’s past. Charles Barkley was never poster boy for the NBA.

Charles Barkley continuously tries to cause controversy with what he says, much like Steven A Smith. Unfortunately network’s will keep paying these guys to say whatever it is they want to say regardless of how stupid it sounds.
