Charles Barkley Tells Lebron James To, “Shut The Hell Up”
I agree with Charles in this situation, he shouldn’t have any comments about his future free agency.

Lebron to me isnt the biggest free agent in 2010. D Wade is have you seen him play this season dude is sick. He got a Championship ring and Finals MVP to his collection.
November 30th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Speaking as a man i think lebron is cute.
November 30th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
^^^I knew you was a homo.
November 30th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
^^^dude above me, LiL Wayne Hater is gay.
C’mon lebron u can do better than stuid. Plus chuck is right. I swear lebron runs cleveland, any other team wud have suspended or fined a player for disrespecting their franchise
November 30th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
lol
November 30th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Fuck ya, Chuck……keeep it real, im with you 100%
November 30th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Don’t get mad at James, get mad at the reporters who keep asking him. It’s not like he switches topics during an interview and lets everyone know his future plans. Get off the man.
November 30th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
blame the reporters Charles not Lebron
maybe Charles is just mad that Lebron is set to get way more money that he ever did in his playing days……

Who gives a fuck? Nigga.. if you worked at McDonalds and knew 2 years later your gonna be working for a much better company, you too would be like “omg I can’t wait too go”.. The Cavaliers suck.. they been suck, if I was Lebron I’d be saying the same too. It’s only keeping it real. Maybe if the team wasn’t so wack, it wouldn’t be as offensive as some (charles) may think.
November 30th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
This has been talked about since the relationship wit LBJ and Jay-Z has been of importance. For like the last two years i been hearing talk about LBJ as a Knick, so u can’t get mad if he decided to finally say sumthin about it. Plus, he’s not saying that’s where he is going. Reporter r talking bout this because he didn’t take the max contract and only decided to stay a couple more years.
November 30th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Charles is right. How you going to play with someone but talking bout leaving the team.If i was a teammate of Lebron I be like why are you playing for us if you are thinking bout playing somewhere else down the line.Knicks not even in a better situation than the Cavs so going there he would have to start over.That lets you know Lebron mind not really on a championship.
November 30th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Lebron never said he would leave. He just says “no comment” everytime they ask him. Realtalk and Chuck need to pay attention before judging the man. What Charles meant to say is Lebron should say he’s staying in Cleveland, but that’s his perogative and no one elses.
November 30th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Lebron aint doing shit wrong.. At the end of the day, its really about business. If he wanna use this as an opportunity to build hype/”barbershop talk” then so be it.
But really why are we even talking about this in the first place? If we really want to place blame on this even coming up, lets blame the media.
November 30th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Lebron’s reply is just childish and stupid.
Barkley is rite to me. Maybe he should not have said “shut the hell up” but he’s a basketball legend and Lebron should chill on this one. smh
November 30th, 2008 at 9:22 pm
#8 lol u MUST be unemployed… and why are u comparing the cavalier organization and the kind of money they pay lebron james to mcdonalds ??? thats not even close to being relevent. im not a cavaliers fan but this right here is very disrespectful. i agree with charles barkley especially on the point he made about him winning a ring in cleveland. lebron james is already a livin legend and i would love to see him bring a title to such a sh*t team. that being said i hope he signs with the knicks, nyc needs a championship asap!
November 30th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
@ “smh”
Do you even watch basketball? Tha Cavs are 14-3.
November 30th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Dis caveman nigga sound like he 16
calling someone stupid
November 30th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
lol lebron owned him. lebron mvp 2008-09. quit hatin on the king
November 30th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
if any of yall followed sports like #12 does they would know that lebron said ” he would do whats best for his family” , “no comment”, and ” i’m focused on the team we have here right now, were playing good ball and we are trying to get back to the finals”
those were his comments whenever he was asked by ny media. so where the fuck does chuck get off sayin he should shut up, he never said anything to begin with. thats why lebron said chuck is stupid, he knows he didnt say anything so he’s not even gonna respond.
November 30th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
all i have to say is #19 ur the only person who
knows what lebron said about all the 2010 shit
he neva even said he was going somewhere the nigga CB need to go get a life
lebron is the best in the nba and he mad
and com #1 ur a ass for sayin that DW nice but u know in ur heart who better.

#20, Lebron may be the best player in the eastern conference but the best player on the planet is Kobe Bryant. Lebron still has some ways to go, and I thought that D. Wade will be a free agent as well in 2010. Is he talking about where he would be? NO!!! Chuck is right. Dude needs to shut up and show up during crunch time. Start hitting your free-throws and stop taking final jumpshots when the game is on the line.
December 1st, 2008 at 1:24 am
Lebron hasn’t said that he will definetly leave the Cavs but he said he’d do whats best for himself and his family. We don’t know maybe the Cavs will be the best place for him come 2010, they look like potential Eastern Championship material right now. Maybe a ring would keep him in Cleveland.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:51 am
Yeah RichYung, Charles is mad because LeBron is set to make more money than him. Nigga please. Chuck gives him props every time on Inside The NBA, but he is right on this one. He could end this shit right now by saying that right now I’m a Cavs first, and nothing else only. Come holla at me in 2010. The End. No, this nigga hugging Jay and B, and going to Cleveland games with a NY hat on.
December 1st, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Charels is right and lebron is an ignorant ass monkey who got lucky.
