Charles Barkley dropped by to discuss the NBA finals. Here are some of his takes ...
-- Barkley said that if him cursing on TV or radio aversely affects your child, then you're not a good parent.
-- Barkley reminded us he was the only one to pick the Magic to beat the Cavs, and he thinks they'll beat the Lakers.
"When you look at their team, every player on their team plays," Barkley said. He pointed to guys like Courtney Lee, Marcin Gortat and Mickael Pietrus. And of course, Barkley said the Magic are tough in the paint.
"Dwight Howard is a flat-out beast," Barkley said.
-- Barkley said he thinks LeBron James is better than Kobe Bryant. To lead the Cavs to the best record in the NBA was a huge accomplishment according to Barkley. Barkley said LeBron's performance in Game 5 of the conference finals was one of the best ever.
Barkley also said the TV debate about LeBron skipping the media session after the Cavs lost was ridiculous. Barkley ripped the media for making such a big deal out of this story. "He was wrong, but it was no big deal," Barkley said.
-- Barkley weighed in on new media. "I think if you Tweet you're a damn idiot," Barkley said. "Anyone who's worried about what Shaquille O'Neal is doing all day is an idiot."
Barkley won't Tweet, but he did tell us what he's doing today. His schedule had an amazing amount of physical exercise.
