Yeah but I don't believe that tbh, almost all good teams starting centers can stay on the floor.

It's a myth perpetrated because of Gobert but the large majority of good teams starting C doesn't get played off the floor.

It's also a part of the point that the current Lakers roster couldn't get a incredible center, so they just got some cheap guys that aren't gonna cost the team wins, since Centers are hardly game deciders in the West right now other than Davis. It's not like they can't play Beasley against a guy like Jokic as an example.


When everything is going to get switched right now, it's just hard for centers to be played a lot. Probably why I'd say Davis and Horford would be my top 2 choice on a team. The only two I didn't see continually abused on the defense end, and who also were main guys on offense.

Well I obviously agree with that, I still think it matters though.

I'm just very against the recent trend of the big doesn't matter when it's mostly not true imo.

Charles Barkley on current Lakers: “I don’t think they’re better than the Denver Nuggets.”

Does anyone hate LeBron more than Charles?

Skip Bayless.

He said Lakers were a playoff team last year. And this year they’re not.

Nothing wrong with that, Sir Charles is just adjusting his expectations after the Lakers disappointed him last year.

Nothing but trolling from Charles, and typical sensationalism that these guys usually put on show.

Chris Broussard is the only NBA analyst which seems to pride himself on being unbiased and authentic and smart.

Broussard gets a bad rep for his subpar reporting years ago. But he’s a pretty good and knowledgeable analyst.

Broussard lol, he's an idiot. There's a reason why he's an utter laughing stock among most NBA fans.

There's nobody on Fox with any sort of intelligence.

Charles Barkley is a mentally afflicted man. I dont understand how you can grow hatred for a player like that, it's embarrassing.

Barkley has his biases and all just like anyone else

But at least the guy is authentic and gives, I think, his honest opinion most of the time. He's right here and there too.

He's a former NBA player who completely loathes advanced statistics. For what he is, I think his takes are about what I expect them to be. I enjoy him as a character though and his authenticity

Barkley's issue is most of the time he can't eloquently explain himself, but in general he knows what he's talking about he just has troubles explaining it properly.

He's way better than most of the bums on Fox and ESPN.

I actually enjoy Charles, strictly from an entertainment perspective. Charles and Shaq are good for laughs

When they start seriously talking, just tune out and wait for the next joke, press mute or change the channel

He’s obviously just for entertainment.
He kept saying jump shooting teams couldn’t win the championship after GSW had already won.

Most NBA national media don't even have jokes tbh.

Literally none of them watch more than a handful of teams and most of them are idiots.

This is what I meant by he struggles to eloquently explain himself.

He was right about the jump shooting thing (GSW aren't) but he couldn't explain it properly. That's literally my only issue with Barkley tbh.

Doesn't help that Shaq constantly shouts over him mid sentence.

How is GSW not a jump shooting team? They were third and first in 3PTA during their 2014-2016 run.

Because they use the post and the paint lol.

When Charles was referring to that he meant teams who just chuck up jump shots and rely on that.

Like for example Boston against Cleveland were a jump shooting team, they literally never penetrated or moved the ball inside and just chucked up jump shots.

Despite their shooting prowess Golden State have never been that.

They’re a jump shooting team. The threat of jump shots is the only way they can get any other shots at all.

We’re speaking before Durant here. They were 100% that. They were also more, but their essential skill is jump shooting.

Charles also claimed multiple times he didn’t believe in GS because they shot too many jump shots.

He was wrong about Golden State but not wrong about the idea of a jump shooting team tbh.

Also I disagree completely, because their best skill is jump shooting doesn't mean they were a jump shooting team.

Jump shooting team implies if your shots don't fall you don't win, this has never been the case with Golden State.

Well the shots always fall. They’re just also good on defense also.

The time they lost to Cleveland their shots didn’t fall. They didn’t fall against Houston, but Houston’s didn’t fall either.

I think you’re giving him too much credit. I think you’re just trying to say that a one dimensional team can’t win, which they can’t. Cleveland proved that this year.
