The NBA’s beloved Sir Charles is not one to get aggressive over anything. Although there are issues that he strongly believes in and the principles that he stands for, if one crosses those limits, one may have it from Charles Barkley. Other than that, he is as chill and fun-loving as they come. However, there is one person that Chuck seems to absolutely hate and, in several instances, he has expressed some really dark feelings towards him.
This 71-year-old columnist gets on Chuck’s nerves like no other. Also well-known for being a LeBron James ‘hater’, the UNDISPUTED co-host recently expressed how hurt he is by Barkley’s constant negative comments about him. Having been on the receiving end for years, he recently warned Barkley that he won’t take it anymore, the attacks having affected his family as well.

The columnist said, “I all too often see and say things that he wishes he had seen and said.” He added that even if Chuck continues to take shots at him, he will “no longer turn the other cheek.”

The reason why Charles Barkley doesn’t like Skip Bayless
Sir Charles has always been clear regarding his feelings for Bayless. As per Barkley, this animosity comes from the way Bayless presents himself to the public. Barkley said that his habit of bringing others down just to make a point is what gets on his nerves. Bayless has done this with LeBron and even with his co-host Shannon Sharpe.
Additionally, the NBA veteran believes that Bayless mistreats the power that comes with being a TV host. He believes that anyone with such a platform should be extra cautious with what they say and should only criticize if necessary.
