Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley Argue About LeBron James' Comments

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James made headlines earlier this week when he told reporters the Cavs are "not better than last year" and that the team's roster is "top-heavy" with himself, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving leading the way. 

TNT personalities Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley argued about the matter before the start of Thursday's televised game between the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder. 

O'Neal believed James should've kept things in house rather than complain about the state of the club to reporters, and the big man pointed out that it takes more than just a Big Three to win a title. 

"They just won a championship!" Barkley yelled back. That began quite the back-and-forth. 

"You know nothing about going back-to-back," O'Neal calmly responded. "Teams are coming at [James'] head. They need more." 

"He's the best player in the world," Barkley argued. "He's got plenty of help." 

The crew then got into a brief discussion about Kevin Durant leaving the Thunder to sign with the Golden State Warriors last summer. 

Needless to say, the segment made for entertaining TV.
