Dwyane Wade on Charles Barkley: "He acting like he just walks on water, and I like the fact that LeBron called him out"

Charles Barkley on Bad Players Making Too Much Money | LIVE 1-30-17

Charles Barkley has been needling, among others, Dwyane Wade for years. LeBron James even told Barkley to shut upabout his then-Heat teammate.

LeBron cut much deeper into Barkley last night.

You can bet Wade had his friend LeBrons back.

K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune:

Some of Barkleys criticisms are fair. Some of them are not.

Neither is intentional.

barkley seeks the take he can present most entertainingly. Whether its fair or not is merely coincidental.

Thats his job, and nobody should take him seriously. Enjoy his show, sure. Just dont get too wrapped up in it.

But thats easier said than done when hes talking about you. Barkley has learned theres greater entertainment value in criticizing LeBron rather than championing him. That obviously sits poorly with LeBron and Wade, who realize Barkley wouldnt like someone unfairly emphasizing/overplaying his flaws for entertainment purposes.

Will Barkley learn his lesson? Well have to watch his next show to find out which is exactly what hes going for.

Barkley is too good at his job to lose this battle.

Charles Barkley convinced nobody watched the whole Suns-Grizzlies game

First Take - Lebron James RIPS Apart Charles Barkley Attacking Him Personally

The Phoenix Suns finally made their 2016-17 national television debut Monday night.

That, in itself, isnt a bad thing.

Of course, it meant a late start time 8:45 p.m. local time, meaning basketball fans on the east coast would likely stick with the contest as long as it was a good game.

It wasnt.

The Suns lost their fourth straight game, 115-96, but the final score wasnt exactly indicative of the flow of the game. Memphis, who shot a blistering 57 percent (16-of-28) from three-point range, led by as many as 30 points in the second half.

The Inside the NBA crew on TNT, including suns legend charles barkley, had a little fun at the conclusion of the contest, suggesting nobody was still watching.

Not even family and friends, Barkley joked on the broadcast.

Things got a bit goofy from there, but consider it was after 1:30 a.m. in Atlanta at the TNT studios.
