IFWT_Barkley

It’s already a well known fact that Charles Barkley is not a big fan of the Warriors style of basketball. He has come around to finally give them their respect, because after going 73-9 how could you not, but he still takes slight digs at the team and their players. While speaking about this years MVP award, he acknowledges Steph deserved the award but he doesn’t believe Steph is the best player in the world, or even the second best player at that.

The Chuckster was on the Russillo and Kanell radio show on ESPN when he addressed Lebron’s comments about the MVP and Best player in the world title are two different things.

“Steve Nash won two MVP’s, and Shaq is pissed every time it comes up because he knows he was the best player,” Barkley said. “LeBron and Kawhi Leonard are, to me, the two best players in the world. Steph Curry is the best offensive player in the world.”

Barkley made it clear he wasn’t trying to knock Curry, he just feels Bron & Kawhi do more overall. “Klay Thompson always guards the best guard. That’s not a knock,” Barkley said. “Larry Bird wasn’t a great defender, Magic Johnson wasn’t a great defender. But they’re still probably two of the 10 greatest players ever. Steph is amazing, and that’s not hating on him. If people actually watched the Warriors play, they do know that Klay Thompson guards the best point guard every night.”

I see his point and I’m curious to know what you guys think about the argument. Feel free to leave a comment.
