Sir Charles Challenges the "So-Called 'King'"

LeBron James is struggling to gain back face, but it's not working out so well.

After his disasterous "Decision" last month, Miami's newest transplant has faced a hurricane of criticism. In response, James recently issued a "warning" of sorts from his new Twitter account: "Don't think for one min that I haven't been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!"

While many people (including sportswriters like Bill Simmons and Jason Whitlock, and knuckleheads like TJ and this guy) chose snarky responses via the same 140 character venue, one NBA Legend used the radio airwaves to speak his mind on Bron-Bron's comments.

From The Huffington Post:

While being interviewed on ESPN Radio 103.3 FM in Dallas/Fort Worth on Wednesday night, Barkley snapped.

"I want him to make sure that he puts my name on that (list)," Barkley said, in reference to James' tweet. "I thought that his little one-hour special was a punk move," the analyst added, according to FanHouse.

Barkley continued, ranting about James's superstar teammates, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Barkley discussed the trio's welcome ceremony in the Miami, calling their dancing during the reception "a punk move," too.

Barkley is not backing down.

"He knows where I'll be," Barkley said, seeming to be referencing to LeBron James. "I don't run. I'm on TV every week, I'm easy to find."

That's what you call a good ol' dose of "Sit down and shut up when grown folks is talking, youngin!"

Sir Charles at his finest

In this clip from TNT, Barkely states that these Lakers are the best Lakers that Kobe has ever played for.

Yes, better than any of the teams that Shaq was a member of.

Watch and enjoy the ridicule that he receives from C-Webb and the boys.

Yes you are Charles, yes you are...

This is just mean. However, the TNT staff confirms that this is not only the best sports crew to watch, but the most fun to work for.

In honor of the man's retirement, we dial it back to his glory years in the NBA.

Barkley on MJ's Divorce (Comedy)

How can you not love Charles Barkley? Here is some brutal honesty that he directed at his good buddy Michael Jordan in regards to his recent divorce:

"We've been giving Michael a hard time," Barkley told a crowd at the SMU Athletic Forum lunch at the Hilton Anatole on Wednesday. "He just got a divorce [and it was like] damn, bro, you wrote a check for $175 million? Are you kidding me? You must have some damn money. If you can write a check for $175 million, you're damn loaded."

Barkley went on to say that "sports is definitely not the place to be sensitive, no matter what it is. We're going to ride you unmercifully and we told him, 'It's probably bad to write a check for $175 million, but it's going to get worse. When you go visit your kids, there's going to be a guy sitting in your chair, wearing your robe, smoking a cigar."

The crowd erupted in laughter, but Barkley still had one more zinger for Jordan, saying: "You better hope it ain't one of us. You better hope it ain't one of your boys. We're all looking for a woman with $175 million."
