Does anyone remember when and why did Dream give Barkley the middle finger on TV?

    I remember Barkley occasionally talking a little smack about Dream's basketball iq when he was on the Rox, don't remember what about exactly, I think in effect it had to do with Dream maybe not recognizing what Barkley could do in certain situations, not passing it to him, etc... (???) -- I remember some story about Barkley yelling something like "you dumb ***ing African" at him (during a practice?)...

    I don't know that it was all that serious, probably just Barkley being Barkley...

    FWIW, I also remember Barkley beating up on the Jazz pretty good in the first round of the 1998 playoffs before getting injured -- Rox would have probably advanced if he hadn't. Not saying we should put up a statue for him or anything -- just trying to balance my post above.
