Barkley makes an enemy in Draymond Green
By Justin Pisueña
Pinuna ng NBA Analyst na si Charles Barkley si Draymond Green ng Golden State Warriors noong natalo sila ng Cleveland noong playoffs. Sinabihan ni Barkley si Draymond Green na maliit daw ito at hindi ‘tough enough.’ Pinagdudahan ni Barkley na makukuha ng GSW ang abilidad na makuha ang championship.
“I think he was shorter than me,” sabi ng 6’7 na si Green sa San Jose Mercury News. Si Barkley naman ay tumitindig ng 6’6. Hindi nagustuhan ni Green ang sinabi ni Barkley. “You would think he would support me. But hey, he thinks I can’t win one (championship) because he ain’t got one. So if he’s the same size, and he can’t win a championship, we’ll see what happens. I’ve got more years to do it than he’s got, you know?,” dagdag niya.
“A guy who’s not a champion can’t talk too much about championships. I’m not sure how much he won anything in his career team-wise. Been to the Finals. But for him to say that – they won’t win because he’s too small – maybe that’s why he didn’t win. Because he was too small.”
Kahit na walang rings o hindi nanalo ng championship si Charles Barkley ay di hamak na mas madami ng napatunayan ito kumpara kay Draymond Green. Si Barkley ay uma-average ng 23 points, 12 rebounds, at 4 assist kada laro niya. Samantalang si Green ay uma-average ng 11.7 points, 8.2 rebounds, at 1.3 assist kada laro.
Si Charles Barkley ay naging MVP noong 1993, All-NBA Team noong 1993, 1991, 1990, NBA All-Rookie Team noong 1985, Best NBA Player ESPY Award noong 1994, Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Sports noong 2013 at 2012 at Outstanding Performance by an Athlete noong 1994.
