Lebron James Calls Charles Barkley “Stupid”

November 29th, 2008

Lebron James

 ”He’s stupid. That’s all I’ve got to say about that,” LeBron James said Friday night about Charles Barkley before he hit the court in a game against Golden State. On TNT’s NBA studio Barkley said, “If I was LeBron James, I would shut the hell up. I’m a big LeBron fan. He’s a stud. You gotta give him his props. I’m getting so annoyed he’s talking about what he’s going to do in two years. I think it’s disrespectful to the game. I think it’s disrespectful to the Cavaliers.” James, who has been slammed recently with questions about his future, has been hinting at leaving Cleveland for one of the bigger NBA teams come 2009.”I think July 1, 2010, is a very big day,” James said when the Cavaliers were in New York. “It’s probably going to be one of the biggest days in free-agent history in the NBA. So a lot of teams are gearing up to try to prepare themselves to be able to put themselves in position to get one of the big free-agent market guys.”

LeBron, Young man you were dead on point when you called
Barkley stupid. This big wind bag just talks to hear himself talk. Personally as a player he was good but he won’t all that. I don’t even watch that show on TNT with him on it because he sounds so ignorant when he speaks. And he has a nerve to tell some one else to shut the hell up. Yep
Barkley is stupid. Thanks LeBron for your honest opinion of this idiot.

Thank you and by the way lebron kobe is a better player than you and you are not the next jordan or near it for that matter.

I am a huge LeBron fan, but I am sick of the 2010 talk. I mean I know that a lot of it is coming from the media and he is getting sucked in but then there are things that he is bringing on himself. I think he should just forget about it..play ball the way we all know he can and forcus on the Cavs…and their chances…the Cavs are a lot deeper than some people think….Sure Charles Barkley says some things that people dont like all the time, but he speaks him mind and isnt afrraid to share his opinions…have I disagreed with him before…definately…but do I love him Kenny and EJ…for sure….oh and if the Cavs make it to the finals..I dont see LeBron going anywhere…I hope he stays in Cleveland…unless he wants to come up here to the Raps hahaha

Barkley’s jealous. James is about to get PAID!!!



Daryn Said on

Charles is always saying things that people disagree with, and he gets paid by TNT to express his opinions. I gather from all this that Charles is not a religious person, for the bible says: “be quick to hear and slow to speak.” As for Lebron, he needs to read James 4:14, “Your life is a vapor, it appears for a little while then vanishes away”, and James 4:15, “If it’s the Lords will, I will do this or that.” Lebron, you have been blessed wih many abilities and you need to remember, “To whom much is given, much is required.”

K, its obviously that Lebron is one of the best players in the NBA before him u heard nothing about the caviliers, in 2010 its going be a big day because one of the best players in the NBA is becoming a free agent, and tiff lebron is a young smart player with less NBA experience that Kobe, but Kobe still lists him in the top 5 on his favs list so stop hating and do some reasearch before you talk. No disrespect.

None of it is important. People are hungry, loosing their homes, loosing their jobs, without medical insurance, dying from AIDS, cancer, committing crimes against society and hurting. We need to pray for God’s grace and mercy. I could care less about ridiculous babbling!

I agree with Tiffany in that Kobe is the best player in the league. I agree even more so Daryn, especially James 4:14. I have a motto- “Live for the moment” The world could come to an end today, next week next month-heck in the next few seconds. I don’t agree with how Barkley said what he said but he has a point. Focus on this DAY and the one’s to follow.

Also if I were his teammate I would like to hear Lebron deflect that question and put more focus on Cleveland winning this year. It is a “team” effort. His concern it seems is to break some kind of contract record. He is a great player no doubt, but he will continue to come up short no matter where he is if he doesn’t learn to be humble. (See Kobe)



Bea Said on

I agree with Daryn, I couldn’t had said it better myself. Charles needs to tone it down a little. I personally don’t care for Barkley because he does talk too much. Who cares about this anyway.

I agree with Charles — the LeBron conversation takes away from the objective that Cleveland players should be focused on — WINNING. Lest we not forget — Charles has been where LeBron is and knows what kind of effect such talk can have on an organization — here WISDOM is speaking and not stupidity. Why should Charles tone it down — all these guys are friends; however, they realize (at least some of them) that this is a business — Charles wasn’t taking a personal shot at LeBron — it’s just business. And oftentimes — Charles says what a lot of people and fans don’t get a chance to say because LeBron want hear them.

Lebron is a crynbaby……… I get sick and tired of people saying he’s one of the greatest of all time. Tell me how great is he if he hasn’t won a ring yet?? Barkley may not of had won a ring but he’s a legend and he knows what respect is not lebron, seriously Lebron needs to grow up seriously. Who cares about 2010!!!

Micheal Jordan stayed with the Bulls and made them six 6 time NBA Champions, hey “Lewine” take a hint, if you are as good you think you are, KOBE is still in LA with 3 rings and can get 2 or three3 more Hello!!!!!
Charles will be Charles and he was picked as one1 of the 50 best players in NBA history for those who don’t know…… It is time Lebron grows up and be a true leader
