Charles Barkley on the Dan Patrick Show Full Interview | 12/13/23

[@peterbaker3744]

The fact that Charles Barkley gives this take on Draymond -- a man he knows well and has worked alongside and will likely work alongside again -- without holding back but without malice, is what makes him still the greatest sports commentator today.

[@anthony.santiago]

💯 %. As honest as they come.

[@Cluez31]

Yeah he honest..but lets all be honest... Chuck don't really like Draymond..he just tolerate him lol

[@fliprodriguez5250]

[@Herbalizer28]

@@fliprodriguez5250 What ?? Draymond is not in the same category as Charles ! I can't believe Draymond acted like he was insulted to be compared to Charles..like he's a better player than Charles was..We saw what Draymond did as the #1 option on the floor in 19-20 and that was UGLY...Barkley has been a bus driver his entire career !

Chuck: "I think 14 out of those 16 times I tried to get tossed from the game" A few moments later... Chuck: "You know, you never want to get tossed from a game." Love ya Chuck! Don't ever change!

[@L4-295]

Exactly. This is the same guy that gets mad at players for leaving organizations when things don’t go their way but he demanded his way out of Philly and Phoenix. Both times to go to betters situations with more talent…. Funny how that works.

[@jmason0622]

No, he's right, during the discussion, he somehow explained it. Ideally, you don't want to get tossed out of any game, if you a top player. You ain't helping the team. That's a given. But if the player feel that the referees are intent on being bad and making shit calls, that's where temper takes over, and then once that goes over a limit, that's when players TRY to get tossed out of the game. There's angry and there's pissed off.

[@Herbalizer28]

@@L4-295 He was pissed off in Philly because they didn't make any moves to improve..so yes, he complained..but he didn't ask to team up with so and so or be traded to a specific team..he just wanted out..and he didn't go to the public to do this..He gave 8 years to Philly !

Steve Kerr, the enabler, is worse than Draymond. He blind-eyes everything, even this one when it happened in front of the bench.

[@dlastjedi1627]

Kerr is a good coach but he would be a better politician

[@mintdragon9548]

Enabler is a great way to describe him. And Green is screwed up and tone deaf, including choking out a player from Minneapolis. 😮

[@Phil-S8]

Adam Silver is the real enabler. He didn't suspend Draymond for so many of the altercations that he had

Charles is priceless. His comments are golden. Celebrities can't admit they are wrong and say "I screwed up". "I started to do stupid stuff when I couldn't play anymore" I agree that the discipline has to come from the Warriors, not the league. Kerr and Steph Curry need to lay down the law.

Draymond is a 4 time champ,a DPOY and possibly a hall of famer. But there’s absolutely no excuse for this anymore. This dude HAS to know what he’s doing at this point and he keeps testing the league and playing with fire. Kenny smith said it best a few weeks ago- At this point in his career there’s no more apologies, just play smart and help your team win. 🙈

[@donsolos]

He wants a career off the court. He is trying to set himself up. He is a selfish arrogant prick who rode curry to relevance. Nobody would care about draymond if he played his career with the Pacers or twolves

I know that Draymond is from a tough, inner-city Michigan background but "stealing"(sucker punching) unsuspecting opponents, and in Pooles case a teammate is straight up bullying 101. I've lost so much respect for Draymond Green. I'm wondering now was he a bully in his youth?

The kids on the Lakers who make 500k a year have a reason to drink champagne, they just doubled their salary. Put yourself in their shoes, they've probably never won anything. Charles should know full well, his salaries were a pittance, $500k is a lot of money.

[@TheAeroRising]

The thing is we all think about the main 5-7 over the top things he has done in his career BUT on a nightly basis no one gets a longer leash than him. Constantly curses and yells at the refs. Everrrrrrry night! But they never show that on a daily basis. It’s crazy.

[@Noeau]

Agree with Chuck. Warriors should do something. Suspend Kerr if he doesn’t do anything. He still saying we need Dray. BTW, Klay response to Barkley saying they cooked was a 7 point performance and no show at crunch time. Wiggins 3 point,Looney 0 points. These are starters! Clean house and rebuild before Steph age out. Trade Dray, Klay, Looney, Wiggins.

[@traviswilliams6752]

The Warriors did nothing after he punched his own teammate…they baby him that’s why he spoiled!

[@nolongerblocked6210]

I'm a life-long Dubs fan, maybe Klay & Draymond but Looney is still a great defender & a rebounding dog, he's come up big when it's needed. Wiggins is still a great 2-way player plus he's only 28, way to much quality ball left in him to give up on him. They screwed up bringing in Chris Paul, they needed someone bigger & more offensive minded. The thing I'd like to see is Chris Paul, Klay & Draymond on the 2nd team for awhile. The Dubs bench has been a big bonus this year(they scored 80 points last night) so if they could try elevating a few 2nd team guys to starters & put the others I mentioned coming off the bench it might give em a spark with some younger guys starting. They just seem lifeless this year for some reason, maybe some younger guys getting more playing time would help

[@Noeau]

@@nolongerblocked6210 ok Looney may have value if they cannot find a better replacement. Yes maybe bench the starters except for Steph for now and see what the bench can do what they just did against the Suns. They have nothing to lose and continuing with what is not working is ludicrous. Try the bench to see the direction for next year.

[@nolongerblocked6210]

@@Noeau giving Kuminga & Moody minutes is a good idea bcuz it feels like every time they're given a chance they play well, plus like you said they need to know longterm if they're answers or need replaced. I'd also like to see Jackson-Davis(the rookie from IU) get some time at the 4. He was a pretty good passer at Indiana so maybe he could do some of the things Draymond did for the team passing/screening wise. They'll never know what they have in those youngsters if they don't give em more minutes

[@surfwriter8461]

I have a lot of respect for Steve Kerr, but I'm very disappointed in how he expressed himself on this situation after Green did that crap in the game again. Kerr simply said how they "need" Draymond and that kind of mild stuff instead of making clear that he knows well this was intentional and egregious by Draymond. Draymond in his press gathering said it was unintentional and that he was trying to "sell" a foul on Nurkic. Both those statements are BS and further dig a hole around Green. He can't even man up and speak honestly about what he did--spin 360 with his arms up at head-height on Nurkic. I can't stomach hearing this BS from Green anymore. He's a good player with a very bad attitude who is hurting his team and the NBA's image by such conduct. I wouldn't mind seeing him suspended for at least half the season. The NBA made the suspension "indefinite" and with some conditions attached before Draymond can return. That's minimum. I would require him to tell the truth about his intentions with that flagrant strike against Nurkic, too. Otherwise, he stays suspended.
