Just two titans clashing and throwing verbal haymakers at each other. That\u2019s why this feud between Charles Barkley and LeBron James has gotten everybody\u2019s attention. It escalated as quickly as the Cleveland Cavaliers have plummeted this month of January in which they went 7-8. \u00a0Here\u2019s a brief rundown of what has already transpired.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>NBA News &amp; Predictions<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/2017-nba-draft-expert-picks-and-predictions.html\">2017 NBA Draft Expert Picks and Predictions<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/2017-nba-draft-sleeper-picks-and-predictions.html\">2017 NBA Draft Sleepers<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/2017-18-nba-championship-futures-odds-update.html\">2017-18 NBA Championship Odds Update<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>LeBron James vs. Charles Barkley Feud<\/h2>\n<p>With Cleveland struggling and LeBron being dismayed by the lack of a playmaker on the team, the last thing The King wants is hear Barkley yapping at him. And that\u2019s exactly what Barkley did last week when he called LeBron \u201cinappropriate\u201d and \u201cwhiny\u201d for demanding the Cavs\u2019 front office to make moves while in the middle of the season.<\/p>\n<p>So on Monday after the Cavs lost to Dallas, LeBron finally exploded. That Cleveland couldn\u2019t stop a guy named Yogi Ferrell was the last compound needed by LeBron\u2019s patience to snap and go off at Barkley, firing back at the TNT analyst with a flaming diatribe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to let him disrespect my legacy like that,&#8221; James told ESPN regarding Barkley. &#8220;I&#8217;m not the one who threw somebody through a window. I never spit on a kid. I never had unpaid debt in Las Vegas. I never said, &#8216;I&#8217;m not a role model.&#8217; I never showed up to All-Star Weekend on Sunday because I was in Vegas all weekend partying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wow. LeBron really did his research.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/2017\/1\/31\/14451950\/lebron-james-charles-barkley-beef-history\">wasn\u2019t the first time<\/a> LeBron tasted criticism from Barkley, who had questioned before LeBron\u2019s case for eventually becoming a top five player all-time. Barkley isn\u2019t the type of guy who\u2019ll just take harsh personal retorts silently so as expected, he replied to LeBron\u2019s tirades, albeit with less sizzle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I stick by what I said, I&#8217;m not going to make this personal &#8230; he was all whiny last week,&#8221; Barkley told the Waddle &amp; Silvy show on ESPN Radio last Tuesday. &#8220;I&#8217;m good and I&#8217;m straightforward, I&#8217;m never going to get personal on an NBA player,&#8221; Barkley added.<\/p>\n<p>Barkley\u2019s going to say what\u2019s on his mind even if it meant jeopardizing his career as a TV personality. Chuck\u2019s gonna Chuck. LeBron, on the other hand, would be better off minding how his Cavs will get themselves out of a rut. Winning takes care of everything.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and make a winning NBA parlay bet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4zX172zxPL8HmNd7ZgqdRLk\/20\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-89017 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/NBA-News-Banner_620x110_v31.gif\" alt=\"NBA-News-Banner_620x110_v3\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"131441\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;3,108&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We love seeing celebrities go at it especially if both sides have legendary status.
