Charles Barkley is walking entertainment and the brilliant Inside the NBA would not be the same without him and his off-the-cuff opinions (which is a great thing in sports talk, not so much with national policy).
But he remains the leader of the annoying #getoffmylawn crew of older players who dont like todays game.
Barkley was on the Bickley and Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM last week and went off again on the state of the game.
People think us old guys hate when we talk about it. It has nothing to do with the Warriors greatness, LeBrons greatness. But Ive never seen the NBA as bad as it is, and Ive been saying it the last three or four years. Weve got too many young players coming out of college that dont know how to play. Its frustrating for me because I want to see competitive basketball.

Interesting comment. I don't enjoy watching basketball anymore, and that might be one of the reasons. It all moves so quickly that it's difficult to focus on nuance.
