I'm lookin at a article on the all star draft, and I see this:
TNT analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley then gave James a hard time for his drafting acumen, saying, "LeBron says he needs some size, and he has 7-5 Gobert, and he takes 6-2 [Domantas] Sabonis," drawing plenty of laughs from everyone involved.
Uhhhhh, NO Chuck, that's not what he said. He said he needs some additional height in his front court rotation.
I'm not sure if Barkley thought he was being amusing with that comment, but it wasn't funny in the slightest. Lebron has AMPLE SIZE, every where it counts. To insinuate otherwise, or to insinuate Lebron suggested otherwise, is damaging to the league and a flat out disrespect to the game of basketball.
I usually enjoy Charles' jocular musings, but he's way out of line here. He needs to choose his words more carefully. This was tone deaf. He was over the line.
He needs to stay in his lane.
