NBA legend Charles Barkley isn’t known to back down from any challenge and is bold enough to share his genuine thoughts on different matters. Barkley’s popular opinion is that he hates famed analyst Skip Bayless due to reasons he revealed with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson in All The Smoke.

Barkley finally shared why he couldn’t stand Bayless when he appeared as a guest on All The Smoke. Chuck explained that Skip’s disrespect towards LeBron James and Shannon Sharpe is one of the main reasons why he isn’t fond of the latter.

“Skip, to me, these guys are real people. And I don’t mind you criticizing guys, it can never be personal. One thing I hate about the media, you can tell guys they like and dislike. You can’t talk about people on television like that. You have to be fair and honest with people. You can tell who he likes, you can tell who he dislikes, cause he makes it personal. Like, you can’t say bad things about LeBron James… it’s impossible,” Barkley said.

“Skip’s disrespect toward him, I do not like it. The way he’s treating Shannon [Sharpe], clearly hate. Tom Brady is the GOAT, we get that. First of all, this dude is in the Hall of Fame, he won three Super Bowls he ain’t chopped liver. He’s been rewarded so much. The way he has made his money & made his living, I’ve a problem with it.”

“Because if you make it into the pros, you’re one hell of a player. I tell people, ‘Hey, is everybody LeBron or KD?’ No. But number 12 guy on an NBA team, his journey is amazing.”

Chuck has shared his dislike of Bayless on several occasions during live broadcasts. Whether he’s shooting a show on Inside the NBA or not, he’s bound to say what he feels like towards Skip. Meanwhile, the latter hasn’t expressed much reaction towards the hate he’s getting from the 1992-92 MVP.

Last week, Charles Barkley shared his take on players opting to sit out from games due to load management. Famed sports analyst Stephen A. Smith isn’t 100% on board with Chuck and shared why he thinks players aren’t the only ones to blame for this practice.

“I don’t entirely agree with Charles Barkley in this respect. It’s not all the players’ fault. There are teams that are encouraging players to do this as well. You have management and ownership bringing their heavy hand down upon strength and conditioning coaches, trainers, etc. And keeping players out from time to time,” Smith said.
