Charles Barkley Says LeBron James Made "Punk Moves"

We all have that lovable, loud-mouthed uncle who isn't afraid to speak his mind. For the NBA, Charles Barkley is that uncle.

And while there are quite a few times when Sir Charles should just stay quiet, his recent comments could not have been more warranted. Take a look at what Charles Barkley told ESPN's Mike Greenberg on his radio show:

"I want him to make sure that he puts my name on that (list). I thought that his little one-hour special was a punk move."

Thatโ€™s pretty straight-forward, Charles. And of course, the Bark-ster is referring to the list that LeBron tweeted about a few days ago:

"Donโ€™t think for one min that I havenโ€™t been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!"

Powerful stuff, LeBron. Make sure you take mental notes of how not to play in the conference semifinals, too. A lot of lessons can be learned from that fiasco.

Seriously, though. I donโ€™t get why LeBron is so upset about all these people "taking shots at him." I mean, thatโ€™s exactly why he left Cleveland; he wanted the least amount of responsibility possible. Now he has to take responsibility for his actions? Why, oh why, canโ€™t people leave LeBron alone?

Oh well. At least LeBron has his Twitter account he can vent with. However, I would suggest he talks to Ron Artestโ€™s psychiatrist. Apparently, she can do wonders.
