Charles Barkley Offers Profound Wisdom That Might Help ?The Beard? at New Team

Since the free-fall of the Los Angeles Clippers, everyone has a potential solution for the team’s woes. But, finding the balance remains the key question for the team. Between Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook, the team already had an abundance of ball-handlers. However, the addition of James Harden might just be one cook too many. As a result, finding a way to distribute responsibilities is of paramount importance. While unsure of the trade in the first place, Charles Barkley has a wise message for the newest Clipper.

According to Chuck, there is just one recipe for the team to find success.

Charles Barkley details the ideal mentality for the Clippers

For a team with Championship aspirations, adding a superstar like James Harden is a godsend. While his playoff credentials are still in question, ‘The Beard’ is no-doubt a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But, the initial returns to his LA experiment haven’t been ideal.

Without a single victory in the new-look team’s first 4 outings, things seem to be going from bad to worse. A loss to the league-worst Memphis Grizzlies might be the proverbial final straw. As a result, a ton of reactions to the team’s first stint are already upon us.

Whether it be mentality questions or Shaq suggesting The Beard come off the bench, the situation is calling for dramatic changes. In such turmoil, Barkley has some wisdom to lend to the team’s newest addition.

“The only way you can be a great player is run the play without the ball. Everybody’s a good player with the ball but to be a great player, you have to play without the bal,”?explained the 1993 NBA MVP.

With the Clippers failing once again, this time to the Denver Nuggets, it doesn’t seem like Harden is taking Charles’ advice to heart. At the end of the game, the offense unfortunately was not pleasant to watch.

Clippers’ shortcomings apparent in loss to Nuggets

The problem with the Clippers’ offense is simple: because of its superstars, every possession in the clutch boils down to isolation.

But against a team like the Nuggets, who favor a team-friendly approach with passing of utmost priority, it is a difficult system to succeed with. Barkley himself predicted this shortcoming. That was the exact scenario that played out in the Clippers’ loss to the Nuggets.
