Charles Barkley to MFFLs: 'Listen sometimes and stop being homers'

[Ghazi]

I think if it was any other great player in the league, Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Chris Paul, they'd get similar criticism. If they praised the other team on how they defended them and then in the next game they didn't really do anything in the fourth quarter when the game was still within grasp, they'd catch plenty of criticism as well. That's what comes along with being one of the best players in the league, a former MVP, and a max player. And, moreover, if it was Kobe, LeBron, Wade, or Chris Paul, Mavs fans would be right at the front of the line ting on them for "choking" or for being "punks" or for being " es" in the fourth quarter and getting pushed around.

Dirk's a great player, one of the best players in the league. That's why he gets criticized when his team loses.

Nah, they wouldn't get similar criticism.

CP3 commented on the mobility of the Nugs' big guys last series and nothing much was made of it... essentially the same thing Dirk did, giving the defense credit.

TNT has a double standard when it comes to our beloved Dirk.

When Lebron had a 2-18 10 TO Game 1... it wasn't his fault according to Barkley, it was his teammates.

When T-Mac's team falls behind 0-2 Magic nearly sheds a ing tear feeling sorry for the lack of help he has.

When Paul plays like against the Nuggets nothing is said, 'nor is anything said when he lets Jannero motha in Pargo take 13 4th quarter shots. All that IS said is "they need to get CP3 more help down there".

When DIRK has a good (not great) series against the Hornets while most of his team mates play poorly and one mails it in, there's no sympathy, there is Webber calling the Mavs "too soft" though.

And when Dirk has one good game and one great game against the Nuggets while the back court stinks it up and J-Ho gets injured, there's no sympathy that the Mavs need to get Dirk more help, or that he's carrying the team to no avail, just spinning of his words and questions about whether or not he's a "true warrior" by a former player notorious for a weak mentality.

Well, then maybe you're a little too obsessed and sensitive over what Charles Barkley says. Don't take it to heart. It's just one man's opinion. This is the same man who people think make stupid comments all the time. Same guy that kissed a donkey because he didn't think Yao Ming could score 20 points. Same guy that said the midgets from Golden State had no chance against the Mavericks a few years ago. The same guy that said "I'm a dumbass" because it was on the teleprompter. Maybe you're a bit too sensitive over what this guy thinks and says. I suggest you just have a nice, deep talk with a friend and cry on their shoulder about how that big meanie Charles Barkley said bad things about the best player on your favorite team. Have a good cry and maybe you'll get over it.
