    Barkley now gets paid to talk, so that's what he does.

    Charles has it twisted. It has always been the other way around.

    Well, if you watch the video and listen carefully... Chuck has plenty of nice things to say about the Rockets. He also stated that they have disrepected T-Mac but that for 23 mil he would let them disrespect them too!

    Barkley's fat ass is gonna die of a heart attack at a young age.


    Either that or he's gonna choke to death trying to swallow a whole pork chop.

    I never liked Charles, but the man speaks the truth. Everything he says is like a revelation. MerGady was kind enough to only make us pay him 23 mil, and not more.

    You think the Rockets' management should've catered to the whims of one of its disgruntled employees?

    You're an idiot.

    Only problem, people on this board hear what they want to hear....

    Not going to say they disrespected T-Mac, but they have handled the situation very badly and if Barkley is saying about it I guarantee you other players in the league are taking notice of this also.

    I like McGrady, but the Rockets did the right thing.


    Man, wasn't ready and would have hurt the team if he got more minutes, because on both ends of the court, he was weak because of his injury. They listened to him and gave him a shot last year, about his playing time, now, they decided to just make their own decisions.

    McGrady may feel slighted and a lot of the local media helped with the constant bashing of the guy whenever something went wrong, but he wouldn't have helped the team and probably would have hurt his own value as a asset. Really, while he may claim to be upset, he should be thanking the team for not letting him risk another injury or being exposed as still recovering.

    It's tough for anyone who reports sports to say bad things about athletes, or you lose access, and it makes it hard to do your job. Still, he probably actually believes this.

    I was a huge fan of Barkley the player, but some of his comments make me cringe.
