Stephen a smith asks Charles Barkley people say you can’t talk about LeBron James because you were ring chasing teaming up with Scottie pippen and Hakeem Olajuwon with the Houston rockets and and leaving Philly to go to the Phoenix suns

Barkley is guilty of everything he’s accusing Lebron of doing. These old heads who don’t understand the term free agency.

The Suns came off 4 straight 50+ win seasons before you got there in ‘92 Chuck. so explain how they weren’t a powerhouse

His response:

The difference is LeBron has never been traded. You never had the free will Bron had and you’re very much so without ring. And Boston started it with KG & Ray Allen fool.

Thank goodness I’m know ball and I never listen to these old heads lie lol. Barkley threatened The Suns he’d retire if he didn’t get traded and forced their hands to The Rockets behind their backs, to a stacked defending back to back championship team😂🤣.

Lmao be real…any team Bron went to, they was gonna start talkin this same hating shit 😂

How the hell can you say what another grown man should have done for his job. He shouldn't have stayed in Cleveland if he didn't want to be there

Philly isn’t a powerhouse either in fact no team LeBron went to was a powerhouse before he got there 😂 and LeBron isn’t in his prime 😂 Charles Barkley is just jealous he couldn’t stay healthy

Charles isn’t being honest They couldn’t get out back then so stop it! NBA is the only professional league where old players talk down to current players. Just ole and bitter. Don’t worry Bron got this 😘

Charles Barkley is a god damn liar and he knows it. He wanted to be traded and even talked to Portland Gm to trade for him!!!! While he was on the Sixers!!!!! Portland said no and he got traded to Phoenix. And then he wanted to get out of Phoenix he wanted to team up with MJ.

Old players are cool with owners trading a player but when player play out his contract and choose where he wants to go is wrong. That's backward thinking. Go look at every championship team they all were stacked but the pistons. U not winning a chip with a mediocre team

All yall just hate Charles Barkley. The Suns wasn’t no dam stacked team lol yall just don’t like Barkley but to say the Suns was stacked is wild. The Hawks use to be the 1 seed in the east with Teague and Hortford. They wasn’t a stacked team yall gotta chill

Lie on phoenix again fat boy @_CharlesBarkley . How tf you try and say your team want stacked!

THESE TWO JEALOUS SCUMBAGS NEED TO BE BANNED OFF THE AIR .. DESPICABLE, TAP DANCING TRASH THE BOTH OF THEM !!!!

The Hewlet Packer calculator that Charles is still using is not mathing right now. Times have changed and so has the league. It’s time for a “take shift” the whole MJ or LeBron/ joining a super team conversation has to die. And asking a player who played last when Bush was in office about today’s NBA is pointless. Move on America

it’s lebron fault this mf was past his prime 🤔

For 90s nba standards: Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson and Dan Majerle were a big 3…. Stacked

Im glad lebron did what makes him happy not everyone else. I don't care if he is considered the GOAT or not the fact that this man is going into year 24 at age 42 and still makes this type of impact shows his greatness.

Free agents either chase money or rings. I’ll take the ring chaser. Seems like most of these morons want the money chasers.

We suppose to ignore Charles got the luck of the draw when it came to personnel decisions& that he wasn’t in shape to use as talking points & an excuse like he didn’t benefit either way conveniently. Stop moving the goal post. His fat ass would if he could . He’s just a hater

Barkley has openly admitted on podcasts with both Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe that the Portland Trail Blazers were his "first choice" in 1992. Frustrated by early playoff exits with the 76ers, he took matters into his own hands: Barkley is a fucking fraud.

Barkley be honest

Barkley demanded a trade because Philly missed the playoffs after going 35-47. A man or a woman has the right to choose their own path. Barkley needs to be honest about it. He didn’t try to go back to Philly.

We have to stop comparing the 80s/90s to the 2000s forward. It was a different nba and players didnt have the power back then to do what players do now. Its just an entire different landscape now.

He was pass His prime BUT BRON NOT at 75? 🤣 These guys can’t hide the hate anymore .. They don’t make a lic of sense when discussing him at all anymore .. 10 Years ago Guys had legit good takes on Bron .. Now Jealousy envy and pure HATE has taken over with these guys shit sad

Nigga could’ve went to Memphis and they would say the same shit

Chicago Bulls: Barkley's ultimate dream was to join Michael Jordan in Chicago, who had just won their fourth championship. He explicitly informed Phoenix management he wanted to go to the Bulls, but Chicago simply didn't have the trade assets to make a deal work.

What’s wrong with stacking your team. Do we pick players in pickup games based on best chance to win.

I wouldn’t expect anything less coming from someone who NEVER won a championship🤷🏽‍♂️

I daid Lebron woukd go to philly its in the east an if you win there your beloved forever

Charles looks like a dried up grapefruit… glasses about to fall!

Super Teams have been around for ever. I think the issue the old heads have is how he does it. They hate the fact that the players hold all the power now vs the team. IMO LeBron can do what he wants

Easy to say now when the media run everything. Even he's in the media now. Shaq too during MJ era the media(social media) was nowhere near LeBron era

All of a sudden The patriots join the NBA

Barkley wasn’t chasing goat status though.
