    Other than the stuff he said about Yao (early in his career), CB is the da man! He tales no chit from nobody.

    Agreed

    The guy is starting to sound like a whining bi***

    The very thing he is accusing the "Big 3" of being

    I mean really, hes sounding like LeBron stole his lunch money or something

    How is he doing that? He says one bad thing about The Decision, Nike calls him and tells him to stop criticizing LeBron, Barkley tells the media and somehow he is being whiney and "accusing the big 3 of being"?

    Please, do explain more in depth. I really did not understand a word you said.

    These LeBron nuthuggers really crack me up.

    Barkley called him a punk and went all over the radio and t.v. for about two weeks criticizing the guy right after "the Decision"

    I understand the initial criticism but he just kept going. The fact that he is bringing it up now shows that he has some personal beef going on for no reason

    Why mention it now?

    Why not be a man and mention it when it happened??

    He's the only so called "analyst" still dumping on the guy - its been a year

    Its you LeBron haters that are acting liked Bron did you up the butt and he didnt give you a kiss goodnight--sheez its just basketball

    There is a really strange money campaign when it comes to Lebron. For instance, they've bought this ESPN guy Colin Cowherd (sp?). He's a reasonable radio host and I really like when the guy talks football, but anything about NBA and it's all about Lebron, his superiority and how nobody is being fair to him. His voice elevates an octave and you can just hear him spitting with desperation to have people take his opinion seriously. Completely leaves all balance and objectivity behind EVERY time the dude talks about the NBA. He always gets to the same, repetitive, boring place.

    He's definitely on the take. He sounds like Colin Butthurt when he talks about Lebron.

    I think Lebron is doing pretty well with his new super villain role this season.

    It is a mistake to think you can call Barkley to ask him to say something you want.

    I seriously doubt Barkley wants to keep talking about Lebron. We get the soundbite from Barkley, but it's reporters and interviewers who want to rehash this looking for a news worthy soundbite. Everything else comes within context of whatever teams they are covering on the TNT show of which Miami is obviously one of them. I don't think Barkley goes out of his way to criticize Lebron - it's always within the context of the discussion.

    So, Nike calling and asking Barkley (in his own words), "why don't you like Lebron", leads to the title that "....Barkley needs to stop hurting Lebron's market value"?

    Where did Barkley say that Nike told him he was hurting James' market value?

    its not about the looks. that being said, i had the hideous white with purple and black or something because they were on sale. the blacks were nice.

    in 02 when they went retro, the pair i got were all blue. sweet looking
