After Charles Barkley called him “whiny,” LeBron James fired back, calling the NBA analyst a “hater” and dug up his past history which includes a gambling problem, violence, drinking, and partying.  When asked about James’ response, Chuck says he stands by his criticism of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ star.

LeBron James has had enough of Charles Barkley’s comments about him and unleashed on the TNT analyst.

Him and Shaq got into a heated debate this past Thursday, regarding how Lebron James was publicly throwing his team and front office under the bus. Bron mentioned how the Cavs were “top heavy” with himself, Kyrie & Kevin Love and how they don’t get much help elsewhere. After another loss, he told the media “we need a playmaker” in regards to a solid backup point guard to help run things when he and Kyrie are off the floor. The discussion got heated when Barkley accused Bron of not wanting to compete and Shaq defended him.
