Charles Barkley is a former NBA player and a renowned television analyst. Yet his televised work means he responds immediately to an athlete’s failure, which often ends up in a beef with several NBA players. Recently, one of those NBA players pointed at what he thought about Barkley’s critiques.
And this discussion didn’t take place behind closed doors. It took place during a talk show, where a Golden State Warriors player, also a former team-mate of Kevin Durant, made the startling revelation.

Four-time NBA champion speaks out on Charles Barkley
The player to voice his opinion on Barkley is none other than Warriors’ power forward Draymond Green, who has played with Durant before. The 33-year-old remembered those the analyst’s previous barbs when he was speaking with Trae Young on The Draymond Green Show.
The two superstars were in a free-wheeling discussion on the show when the conversation turned to NBA players handling personal remarks by others. Out of nowhere, Draymond decided to drop the bombshell with a simple comment.
“I was on the Taylor Rooks show, and I said something about you. I really appreciated the way you responded to it. People get in their feelings about a lot of sh*t. I mean, I used to get in my feelings about Charles Barkley.” he said to the crowd’s applause.
Even until last year, Barkley has been involved in audience altercations during NBA games. His comments on the show, Inside the NBA, have not gone well too.

Apart from that, Barkley has several other controversial quotes attached to him. On the show, Shaquille O’Neal once had to reprimand him for trying to cut into a conversation with ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy.
