Barkley to John: “He’s ‘The Man’ in the NBA, he sent a message to Carrie and the Warriors”
Charles Barkley praised John Antitokunbo after the Bucks’ comfortable win over the Warriors, saying that he was the “boss” of the NBA and that he wanted to send a message against the Warriors, and he did just that.
Giannis Antetokounbo equalized against the Warriors and led the Bucks to a 118-99 win. And he was so good that he forced Charles Barkley to idolize him after the game.
In a comment on Inside The NBA, the Hall-of-Famer forward praised the “Greek Freak” and said he sent a message to the entire NBA.
“John is “The Man” in the NBA. “If that’s you, then when a player who’s nominated for the MVP award (Steve Carey) comes to your seat and a team that you might face in the finals, you want to send them a message.” Barkley first argued and then added:
“I hear players say they treat every game the same. First of all, that’s a lie, that’s nonsense. When you’re a great player and you see another great player, you change the way you think. You think you won’t let him perform at your headquarters.
When I played Carl Malone, Patrick Owen, Larry Byrd, Magic Johnson I thought these guys were great. I wanted to play well. The whole match today was about Giannis”.
