Charles Barkley Goes Off About Kendrick Perkins & ESPN's NBA Coverage

[NO-KG-AI]

Just finished listening to the clip and honestly, even if you don't like Chuck, he's speaking the truth.

It's one of the reasons, I don't mess with ESPN anymore, they act like basketball doesn't exist outside of 2-3 cities.

And I'm happy that Chuck is giving props to the best teams regardless of their market.

Charles is a fool. An utter embarrassment.

He called the Lakers mediocre. When they were the 5th seed and rising.

You can argue good. Or average. Though 5th seed and rising qualifies more than average in my book but whatever.

He called them MEDIODRE. He's dead wrong and won’t admit it. He also said they’ve been playing good for two weeks.

The moron doesn’t realize you can’t become the 2nd seed in a brutal west by playing “good” in just two weeks!!! It’s absolutely idiotic and moronic.

Then he deflects by going on a tangent about ESPN. You could argue about him being right or wrong but he’s deflecting!!! He never takes responsibility and shifts the narrative. Complete joke.

Oh he also said James and Doncic can’t play together. He’s always dead wrong and the moron throws meat to people to distract like the ESPN thing cause he knows people will bite and get distracted.

Going on a rant that Charles is a fool because he called the Lakers mediocre instead of average might be my favorite post of all time

You forgot “They got rid of Darvin Ham who did a good job”.

How is any of this good for the NBA?

BOTH of them suck. They are both terrible basketball analysts.

Might as well hire TMZ at this point.

[LockoutSeason]

Charles Barkley doesn’t watch the games and doesn’t care about OKC or Cleveland. He’s pretending to care about them now to grandstand against ESPN.

He’s just flip side of ESPN; they love Lebron, he hates Lebron. Neithet of them offer anything outside of Lebron-talk.

Chuck's a pete and bas fan! Confirmed

Mediocre - of only moderate (average in amount, intensity, quality, or degree.) quality ; not very good.

You realize you just said he can call them mediocre and then threw a fit about him calling them that.

Who here has actually watched an espn halftime show or pre game. The answer is 1% of the population. Perkins is literally the worst at everything. Inside the nba is entertaining at least and Barkley is the goat media nba guy.

To be fair, if you grab a drink and a snack the half time show is over but you'll get 20 more minutes of commercials

Barkley entertains me and Perkins makes me change the channel.

Anyways, what makes inside the nba great is that they don’t take themselves seriously while most if not all the espn commentators are just horrible at their job and aren’t entertaining to boot.

[Tor_Raps]

TNT Inside the NBA is the best Sports show out there.

Sure there aren't many great sports shows out there but they're still the best from their compeition simply because they rarely take themselves seriously and are funny with it.

You’re deflecting. Just like Charles. He is obviously just spitting garbage for views.

It’s well documented that Charles is wrong all the time. Anyone that supports the view of someone that’s wrong like 90% is a losing bet.

Again, a 5th seed that was already climbing up the ranks before Luka is not average, mediocre or any other of the sort. He’s still wrong.

You can focus on my inaccuracies but I didn’t agree with him regardless.

Making fun of me does not make this moron correct. But if it makes you sleep better.

He’s still wrong and he’s still a moron that’s wrong way way way more often than right.

In fact he’s wrong so often it’s alarming how many people jump on his wagon. He’s ALWAYS wrong!! lol. Like any opinion he has I go the opposite cause I know he’s gonna be wrong.

It’s a running gag by now how wrong he is but he dumps on the lakers and ESPN and people treat him like Jesus.

Of course he's mostly wrong. He's a comic.

But the team 11th in SRS right now being called mediocre is perfectly fine to say. ANd he's 100% right that ESPN's constant laker and warriors coverage is bad for the sport. That's just not debatable.

[Dacost]

Espn is bacially all Lakers 24/7.

I don't blame them it's the smart thing to do the Lakers have many fans and most of them are dumb casuals is easy ratings and economics.

Why waste money and effort on a wife or GF if you can just get a cheap and easy prostitute.

Sure you become trash and lose all respect but you also save or gain alot of money.

Look his rant about ESPN is completely utterly separate about him being wrong about the lakers and Luka and James fitting together. The segment was about him being completely wrong and he goes on a rant about ESPN and the lakers.

Ok. The point IS he was WRONG!!! Completely and utterly deflected and turned it into something else. Which people took the bait and switch.

[Kobeskillz]

What this thread has shown me is how smart Charles is. He deflected by ranting about ESPN and the Lakers and people completely forgot about how wrong he’s been about everything and jumped on his wagon for speaking for the “people”.

When this whole thing was about him being idiotic with his predictions.

[Bush4Ever]

The league overly covering the big markets has nothing to do with how the Lakers perform on the court.

They weren't even mediocre when he made the statement, let alone now. How many teams are clearly in front of them? Three? How many are approximately on the level? Maybe six or seven, max?

They are unlikely to challenge for a title, but if they made the conference finals, would anyone be *that* shocked? That's not mediocre. That's like halfway between average and elite.

[CobraCommander]

Perk is the worse - so I’m here for it

Theyre both garbage. NBA coverage is garbage. It needs a reset in the worst way

Barkley is entertaining- imo -

But don’t watch - that’s a good move

At this point I'm just laughing at the fact that you didn't know mediocre and average were the same thing. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that before.

Oh look at that. Someone thinks someone else is stupid because English isn’t their first language. Haven’t seen that before.

If it helps you sleep at night that you think you’re smarter because you know the difference cool. Doesn’t bother me.
