TNT analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley went on ESPN Radio late Tuesday afternoon to address the recent rant made by Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James. The four-time MVP took several shots at Barkley as an aggravated response to what the analyst had said on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” regarding James’ public call for a playmaker.

The quotes have been transcribed by ESPN’s Rachel Nichols below:

"Clearly he Googled me and found out some things"
(tho first Barkley asked 'what's it called when you go on the internet & look things up?')

Barkley asked on ESPN's @WaddleandSilvy show about sitting down w/LeBron "Why I got to clear the air? It's not going to change my opinion."

(Barkley his golf buddies have been telling him that they're going to give LeBron suggestions on other insults he could use.)

Charles Barkley now suggesting to @WaddleandSilvy that he and LeBron should go at each other with paintball guns as an event at All-Star.
