00:00We got to play Chucks because I do wonder,
00:03and I know it's hard because Draymond is a figure that Charles is kind of
00:09beloved, even though both of them have a similar level of crazy.
00:13Charles is kind of beloved, and Draymond is hated.
00:19But this was Charles first because Draymond is –
00:22wouldn't you say Draymond is the one who's really getting drugged for this
00:25right?
00:25I mean, people are really on Draymond the most for his comments.
00:32Yeah, yeah, I would say so.
00:33And now we're all having to get a chance to see all kinds of Charles Barkley
00:36and Houston Rockets footage that is starting to kind of trail around here.
00:41But this was Charles first talking dead to Draymond's face about where he thinks
00:48the Golden State Warriors are right now.
00:50Well, it's over for the Warriors.
00:52There you go.
00:53I mean, no disrespect.
00:55What disrespect is there?
00:57No, no, no disrespect.
00:59It ends for every old team.
01:02You have your run.
01:04You get old.
01:04Y'all let Clay go.
01:06You and Steph on the backside of y'all careers.
01:09It just passed you by.
01:11Y'all had one of the greatest runs ever.
01:13If you think you're not in the playoffs, you think you're going to get healthier
01:19for next year, you're just going to get older.
01:21That's no disrespect.
01:22In fact, you guys have one of the greatest runs of all time.
01:25If you want to compete, you're going to have to leave there.
01:28If Steph wants to compete, he's going to have to leave there.
01:32You're going to have to make that decision.
01:33What if they bring the right pieces in?
01:35They can't bring the right pieces.
01:36Why?
01:36Because they don't have no cap space.
01:38Okay.
01:40I said that was Charles.
01:42It's just no disrespect lately.
01:44He said, well, it's over.
01:46Oh, it's over.
01:47Caught in bold.
01:48Yeah.
01:49Look, I mean, Charles Barkley's ability to and willingness to say what he just said
01:54to the face of the players, I think is what is so unique and makes him valuable in the
02:02media is, you know, he's not going to say something when a player's not sitting there
02:08on the set with him that he wouldn't say that player was sitting there.
02:11And so, you know, the ability to do what he just did is impressive.
02:18Well, you know, Draymond wasn't going to take that line down and just there was no high
02:23road that was going to be taken.
02:26I don't think he's familiar with that road.
02:27So he addressed and responded back to Charles Barkley after Charles told him in his face that
02:34his run is over as a contender to his face with Steph Curry as his guy.
02:42Here's Draymond's response to it.
02:44Always is.
02:45Sports, listen, sports are for young people.
02:49You hope to have a great long career, but sports, nobody wins when they're 37, 38.
02:55I bet you said what you said.
02:57I didn't want to hear if he believes what you're talking.
03:00Yeah, I mean, I think the goal is just to not look like you and the Houston Rockets
03:04uniform is ultimately the goal for us.
03:07Like, we don't want to.
03:08What does that look like?
03:10Did you see it?
03:11I'm just asking.
03:12I saw it.
03:14Yeah, Kenny's a messy son of a gun, too.
03:16Boy, I mean, Kenny, what does that look like?
03:18Yeah.
03:18Well, I think Kenny may be the one to get a little defensive.
03:20He feels like he set old Barkley up and then he says he takes that shot at Barkley, which
03:24by the way, Barkley was significantly better than Draymond was of late as a Rocket.
03:30Yeah.
03:30Look, it is, it is interesting because that move there, like he is getting crushed where
03:36nobody, like he should be able to talk or think he's on the same level.
03:39I just, there's, there's a lot with that Clint.
03:42I just think he's got to know who he is.
03:45Right?
03:46Like, like Charles, what Charles said was an a-hole statement.
03:52You could, you could understand how somebody could take that personal.
03:56Hey, Clint, it's over, man.
03:57Everything you work for right now, man, I know what you're doing, man, you might as well
03:59throw that off-season stuff in the trash, man.
04:01It's over.
04:02It's over.
04:02Y'all over.
04:03Y'all over.
04:04Like, but when he says it, like, because he is a lovable figure, it comes off.
04:12Oh, yeah.
04:13It just, as you said, man, his ability to just tell the truth, just, just say what
04:17he would say right to his face.
04:18You know what Draymond did?
04:19He did the same thing.
04:20He told the truth.
04:22But I do feel like Draymond was defensive and then just, just lashed out.
04:27And his wasn't as much funny as it was like, man, you just try to, you just, you're thoroughly
04:31not even trying to make a joke.
04:33You're trying to be, you're trying to be an a-hole.
04:34It's childish.
04:35And that's, I mean, that's, that's what, you know, that's what Draymond, I mean, look,
04:39he sucker punches people.
04:40I mean, that's just, I mean, he's, he's, he's, he's got the temperament and the, the,
04:45the mentality of, of a, of a child on the floor and, and, and gets away with it.
04:50And, and so, I mean, that's what you're going to get when he's on, on a podcast.
04:54That's what you're going to get when he, when he's on the, on the set.
04:57I mean, again, I'll say it again.
04:58I mean, Charles, Draymond wishes he had Charles Barkley's numbers from his, his years with the
05:04Rockets.
05:05I mean, 16 plus points, 12 plus rebounds.
05:08I mean, he, he, he was double Draymond's stats the last couple of years.
05:12So, I mean, it's inaccurate what he's saying, but.
05:15But, but I mean, it is beautiful.
05:18Now, to, to be clear, Draymond didn't immediately hit him back with that whole rocket thing.
05:23It was, it was in, it was in the banter back and forth.
05:25But, but even, I commend, I even commend Draymond in that, in that scenario to be willing to
05:32sit there and have those conversations.
05:33Cause it was, it was a good set.
05:35It was a good back and forth.
05:36It was a good.
05:37It happened.
05:37That happened with Dwight Howard one time where he got on there and Shaq and him just start
05:42being real, just real honest.
05:44Cause like they would say what to his face.
05:45I do.
05:46However, like, I do think Draymond was joking about the Houston years.
05:51Yeah.
05:51I just don't think it landed.
05:52It didn't land.
05:53No, it didn't land.
05:54It didn't land.
05:54Cause I don't think any of them laughed.
05:56I don't think like, I think he, I think it was a joke.
05:59I don't think he necessarily believes that Charles, like, we don't want to look like Charles.
06:04I mean, you look, you've been looking like that for a long time.
06:06Yeah.
06:06Uh, so I, I, I just think it, it didn't land, but again, man, you guys just, you got to
06:12know who you, who you are.
06:13You're like, you're, you're going to lose that to him every time.
06:17Okay.
06:17And, and, and, and listen, I, like I, I told Tyler some stuff Charles has done that Tyler
06:22wasn't even aware of through his career.
06:24Charles is Charles is wild.
06:26He is nuts, but it doesn't matter.
06:28It just, it doesn't matter.
06:29He is a lovable figure.
06:31He could run down the entire city of Galveston and everybody just laughs and he could talk
06:36about, he could talk about all the large women in San Antonio and it doesn't matter.
06:41There it's, it, he is like, there are, there are a-holes that people laugh at.
06:46Then there are a-holes that people hate.
06:48And I think Raymond just needs to understand which side of the a-hole line that he is on
06:52right now.
06:53Right.
06:54And yeah, it is.
06:55It is.
06:56Can you say what that looked like?
06:57I mean, yeah, he, he, he wanted to get more out of it.
06:59The, the, Draymond's going to be obviously, um, highly sought after in the media game
07:07when he's done.
07:08Um, and I, I think it's got a chance to be real entertaining because he, he will say
07:12things to somebody's face and, and most players and most former players, they'll say it on their
07:17podcast about people, but they won't, you know, they don't typically, Draymond will search
07:21it out.
07:22Draymond will want to.
07:23He'll be much like Barkley, except Barkley will make some of the cats laugh with it.
07:28They'll want to fight Draymond, which is also, which also has ability to entertain you.
07:33So yeah, it was, um, it was a, it was an interesting, cause now boy, everybody's pulling out all the
07:40Rockets numbers, the Rockets years and, and him, you know, in a Rockets uniform and I just
07:47like, it was, it was a, it was a joke that did not land with nobody in the room and
07:51nobody
07:52and nobody else watching.
