Charles Barkley: War or words with LeBron JamesIt didn't take long for Charles Barkley to respond to LeBron James' recent Tweet about getting even with his critics.
"Don't think for one min that I haven't been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone."
On ESPN Radio 103.3 on Thursday, Barkley said a few things about LeBron's Tweet and "The Decision."
"I heard about LeBron's little Tweet today that he's remembering everybody who said anything bad about him," Barkley said. "And he said 'everybody.' Well, I want him to make sure that he puts my name on that [list]."
Barkley, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, all hall of famers, criticized the move by Chris Bosh and James joining Dwyane Wade in Miami to form a super team. All three players said it wasn't a move they would have made.
Even worse for Barkley was LeBron's one-hour special to announce where he was taking his talents, and the ensuing party-like event the Heat hosted for all three players.
"I thought that his little one-hour special was a punk move. I thought them dancing around on the stage was a punk move, and I thought he should've stayed in Cleveland. Him joining Dwyane Wade's team was very disappointing to me."
After these comments, don't expect James to invite Barkley to a cookout on South Beach anytime soon. That, however, doesn't seem to bother Barkley.
"He's got enough people kissing his ass with his family and all the people who work for him," Barkley said. "We don't have to tell him what he wants to hear all the time. That's one of the reasons why ... some of these young guys ... my opinion is he should have stayed in Cleveland.
