By now you have seen the infamous tweet from James regarding the 'hit-list' he is keeping in his head. If not, here is what it said -
"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."
Whoooooo....scary!
By the sounds of it, Barkley wants to be first on the list -
"I heard about LeBron's little tweet today that he's remembering everybody who said anything bad about him," Barkley said. "And he said 'everybody.' Well, I want him to make sure that he puts my name on that [list]."
When asked about LeBron's 1-hour special, 'The Decision', Barkley let the 'King' have it,
"I thought that his little one-hour special was a punk move. I thought them dancing around on the stage was a punk move, and I thought he should've stayed in Cleveland. Him joining Dwyane Wade's team was very disappointing to me."
Has there ever been a bigger disconnect in sports than the one that seems to exist in the NBA between today's players and the greats from the not-so-distant-past?

Seriously… he’s mad now. Oooooh, maybe he’ll actually win the Eastern Conference this year. I highly doubt that but even if he does, I think the best player in the NBA will have something to say about the Heat winning the Finals.

Wow – you’re placing a great deal of confidence in the Oklahoma City Thunder.

That was cute.
You’re basically saying that KD is the best player in the NBA. I think he’s 3rd; he’s behind Kobe and LeBrat.

lebron james
is currently the biggest villain in sports.
I like to imagine his twitter comment means hes building a list of all the twitter names that have said bad things about him and hes posting it on his wall.
and then, kindv like in jay and silent bob strike back, he’l go door to door at the end of the season.
heres the scene...a year from now
LBJ[On the phone] Hello?
CB: Hello? Is this Lebron? Lebron James?
LBJ: Yeah.
CB: The Lebron James who left bolted from the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2010?
LBJ: Yeah, who’s this?
CB: Umm… this is Charles Barkley. You probably don’t remember me but I used to play in the NBA. And I, um, kinda gave you a hard time back when you decided to do what you had to do win a title, and, uh, since i never did, i just talked a bunch of shit cause thats my shtick, and realized that was just me being a hater. And I just called to apologize and hope you forgive me.
LBJ: Yeah, sure. Don’t worry about it, it’s no problem.
CB: Wow, that’s great! Well, I am sorry, and maybe we can get together sometime and have a Taco Bell 5 Buck Box meal.
LBJ: Yeah, sure. I’d like that.
CB: [Relieved] Okay, great! I’ll see you around.
LBJ: Okay. Bye.
#9 has the most incredible 4 yard gain in the history of the NFL.
Lebron reaches down, grabs a marker and uses it to cross Charles name off of a list on his wall titled, "PEOPLE TO KILL".
All before sliding his new championship ring on his finger and drifting away into his music.

wow
i guess i hadnt been paying attention, apparently lebron twitters all the time now.
Barkley
is hliarious!! lol I love Barkley, even though he did exactly what Lebron did [left a team where he had success in order to try to win a championship] when he went to the Rockets the year after they had won back to back championships. Barkley joined Hakeem and Drexler…the only diff is that he was old when he did it. I dont believe that being old is an excuse to be able to go to a team in order to win a championship without being ridiculed.
There's nothing wrong with going to a team with a good shot at a title.
The way he did it is what makes us hate LeBron.

the point is…Barkley, in his prime, never left a legitimate title contender to go play with his friends and try to win a championship, instead of being ‘the guy’ in the championship contender.
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.

It's about merchandising!
The “punk move” was done to give a sales boost to LeBron merchandise - he had a huge audience with free advertising. The Professor will be teaching a semester this fall in business and studying the effect of the media.
hey guys, nets fan here...
I’m not a fan of the Cavs at all…in fact i couldnt’ stand watching your biggest cheerleader anderson varejao jumping up and down Lebron when he was over there.
But I gotta say its gonna be interesting to see how thick lebron’s skin is after reading his Tweet last week. I don’t like Lebron James and while I don’t like you guys either, I’ll be cheering with you to watch that kid fall……….
may the god of all clowns (Andreson Varejao) let Lebron fear your bladeless sword
12-70.
That will be all.

Chuck’s just doing what he’s known for, saying what’s on his mind. Any false move LBJ makes this season, Barkley will be all over him. I can’t wait to hear his comments when Miami gets knocked outta the playoffs.
College basketball just became more interesting...
