Barkley called Golden State’s style “girl basketball” during TNT’s “Inside the NBA” pregame show Thursday. He has been a frequent and harsh critic of the WNBA in recent years.
BIRDSONG: Barkley shows callousness to black people
He tried to backtrack Thursday by saying the “loves” women’s college hoops, but then followed by saying he doesn’t want that style in the NBA.
A very quick history lesson on Barkley vs. the women’s game: Chuck called out the WNBA’s seeming lack of physical play during the 2009 NBA playoffs, and last season he backhanded the Lakers by comparing them to the WNBA’s LA squad.
At least he knows who the Sparks are, unlike the “Who he play for?” NBA guys he like to trash on the air.
