Symbol of the always talkative set of Inside The NBA , Charles Barkley never hesitates to share his thoughts, regardless of the criticism that this may earn him.
He therefore recently joined the thoughts of LeBron James and attacked the fairer sex.
Whether as a player or an analyst, he has never really taken any precautions to express himself, even when it concerns a subject that is a priori delicate to discuss.
Charles Barkley subsequently received numerous fines from the league for his often controversial comments, which did not encourage him to change as a retiree. His running gag against the women of San Antonio is proof of this.
Charles Barkley addresses Caitlin Clark scandal in WNBA
Once again present on the set of Inside The NBA in recent hours, Barkley apparently wanted to raise an issue of importance to him.
This one concerns the controversial treatment received by Caitlin Clark in the WNBA, which recently led to LeBron James speaking out .
A position that the former big man resoundingly adopted, whose message was directly addressed to the rookie star’s counterparts:
Charles Barkley: You women who constantly criticize Caitlin Clark are haters. Hey LeBron, you’re 100% right. Women need to stop being so petty towards her!
I expect men to be because we’re the angriest group in the world, but you guys should thank this girl for letting you travel on private jets!
Knowing all the money and visibility it generates for the WNBA, don’t be as big of a hater as the guys! Given what she’s accomplished, throw her flowers instead! Stop being angry like that! She lets you take private flights and brings you loads of money, but you go down on her like you’re guys. We have to stop this! LeBron, you are 100% right.
In addition to the muscular reception reserved for Clark on the WNBA courts , several figures in the women’s league have publicly railed against the craze surrounding her.
This attitude, worthy of men according to Chuck, would however have no reason to be given the advantages that the young rear indirectly offers them. Once this rant was over, the 1993 MVP took it upon himself to praise the latter:
Charles Barkley: Caitlin Clark, thank you for generating so much money and shining so much light on the WNBA. And if women aren’t happy that I say that, they can just hate me.
It remains to be seen whether this speech which has become viral thanks to Sir Charles and LeBron will be followed by perceptible facts in the WNBA.
Also upset about the distrust against Caitlin Clark in the WNBA, Charles Barkley took over from LeBron James by inviting the members of the women’s league to be more reasoned. Not sure that they will appreciate his method.
