Howard got dunked on by an emoji. A unicorn emoji.

 

If only Doc Rivers were their coach

 

This might explain a lot about the Cavaliers:

VIDEO: Cavs Reporter Mistakenly Says Masturbation on Live TV

 

"Our Allie Clifton was listening in on the huddle between quarters what did you pick up Allie?"

"Well just masturbation..."

He used to be an excellent rebounder when he wanted to be. Hard to know if he can't do it anymore or he just is no longer interested.

 

LeBron James goes off on Charles Barkley with vicious, unfiltered takedown | FOX Sports

LeBron should have done this a long time ago. Barkley needs to shut the hell up. It's one thing to criticize play, but glass houses, stones, etc.

 

Barkley shouldn't even stick to sports!

 

What does any of that have to do with whether Barkley was correct or not?

 

Barkley's actions throughout his career show he doesn't know the proper way a professional should act. Costs him his credibility when he is criticizing LeBron''s professionalism.

Nothing gnaws at LeBron more than when someone questions his professionalism and dedication to the game. Cost Golden State the championship last year when Klay Thompson started digging at LeBron after Game 4 last year, acting like they had already won and basically calling LeBron a pussy who did nothing but complain. This blowback from LeBron follows the same path.

 

It shouldn't. He's either right or wrong about this. What does his own "actions throughout his career" have to do with it?

 

Barkley doesn't know what being a professional, respectful basketball player and person is. So he wouldn't know how to recognize it in someone else.

 

He stated his case. His words are out there. You are free to accept or reject them on their own merits. What does anything LeBron brought up have to do with the merits of what Barkley said?
