NBA legend Charles Barkley once again was blunt when expressing his opinion. He repeated his previous assessment of the Lakers, saying that they stink.
The former league MVP did not like the fact that the Inside The NBA crew has to cover the Purple and Gold when they are just the 12th seed in the Western Conference. Barkley went as far as to say it’s a conspiracy that shows like this have to talk about the Lakers.
“The Lakers stink,” Chuck began his rant. “They all forcing us to show them all the time like they’re going to be good. They all – the NBA. It’s a conspiracy.
“And then we got all these clowns on television have to talk about them every day. It’s a conspiracy. We have to talk about the Lakers. The Lakers are awful.
“We don’t talk about no other 12th seed. What’s the 12th seed in the East? We don’t even talk about the Washington Wizards, do we? Ever. Do we ever mention the Washington Wizards, the great Bradley Beal? No, but for some reason these morning shows and us, we have to show the Lakers all the time. The Lakers stink.”
Barkley’s comments came after the Lakers (11-16) were defeated by the Celtics (22-7) in overtime.
