Charles Barkley to Draymond Green saying he missed Inside the NBA: “We’re going to have you back here once the playoffs start.”
That’s hilarious. Chuck’s still got it.
Chuck’s wrong here, if the Warriors keep playing well; Draymond might stay benched and be on the broadcast earlier
/r/yourjokebutworse
Draymond morphing into Shaq with the rings comment.
It’s what they do when they start being a detriment to the team. Klay was flashing 4 fingers in the air all the time when he started having to come off the bench.
I’ll always appreciate what these guys did for the Warriors, but this is how it ends with 2 of the 3 so far. My optimism says Steph won’t go out like that.
I don’t think he will. Even beyond his attitude seeming different, there’s no doubt that Steph is at worst top 15 all time. Draymond and Klay were obviously hugely important, but they’re not inner circle HOFers, so they may feel they have to remind people of their accomplishments more
my non-biased take is he is way above top 15
I totally agree with you on that. Was trying to stay neutral tho haha
My man trying to keep the Christmas ceasefire
I have him at 8. He’s below the top 3 guys plus Magic, Bird, Russell, and Duncan.
Kobe?
I take Steph over Kobe. I don’t agree with a few of the guys that other commenter named, but I take Steph over Kobe. The 2022 ring push Steph over tons of people and into my like top 7 tbh.
Every excuse you could have had for why Steph isn’t top 8-10 disappeared after that run.
I’d never say this to my Laker friends because it’s not worth it, but if you’re going to be objective, he should probably be above Kobe all time.
In my heart, Steph is top 1
After what he did for the U.S. in the Olympics, he’s starting to squeeze his way in there.
Oh wait, that’s cholesterol. How did that get in there?
After that olympics performance. I’ve seen Curry haters becoming Curry fans. It was a coming to Jesus moment for so many haha.
Like, people that hated him because they were fans of a different team whose hearts he ripped out? Or are you talking about people who discredited him? Because the former is perfectly understandable; I’m one of those. But the latter is just nonsense, those people are just idiots.
The hearts ripped apart is fully understandable. Is the discredit part but perhaps that’s the price to pay. When the Warriors was the top dogs for a while.
Is like SGA right now and the Thunder. Curry for being a superstar. Gets zero call and I’m not being a homer when I said that.
Steph solidified best PG after THAT shot in the olympics imo, i feel magic wouldn’t have the impact steph does in the modern nba. I’m not even a warriors fan but Steph is him
I’d like to hear your biased take now
yea he’s like 9 or 10 for me
how can he be “way above” top 15? what, you think he’s 3 or some insane shit?
I’d say 8 is way above 15
LeBron, MJ, Kareem, Russell, Wilt, Magic, Bird, Timmy, Hakeem were all better players than him, with more accolades. And I’m not even addressing the Kobe question.
Love Hakeem but gonna disagree there about better and more accolades.
Only if defense doesn’t count
Imo he clears Hakeem. And yes I know, defense is a thing.
Steph is better than Wilt, Russell, and Hakeem. Wilt and Russell were playing against plumbers
clown
Steph clears all those guys lol. Most of them are heavily propped up by corrupt refs and league admin.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Steph has one of the most unassailable resumes of all time. I don’t think confidence about his basketball abilities ever needs to be in question.
Klay and Draymond barely add value to their own teams anymore.
What trash talk could you possibly say to Steph Curry that wouldn’t come off as embarrassing for the person saying it?
Yeah but when Klay did it he was funny and iconic so I give him a pass
Klay also apologized for it which makes it not as bad
This right here. He recognized he was above that
Idk about iconic
Spaghetti and catfish
Steph’s by far the most humble (on-court antics in the past aside). I think he appreciates what he has and will age out gracefully.
I doubt Steph will. Guys like klay/dray, as good as they are, will always be associated with Steph. Steph is in a league of his own though with guys like LeBron/MJ who clearly carried their title.
It’s why Kobe and Shaq both said the rings they won without each other mattered so much. They wanted to have something be definitely not caused by the other
I doubt Steph does, he’s in another tier of player that will never really need to argue for himself deserving more respect. People disrespect him all the time ofc, but even then it’s with the underlying understanding that this is a generational, all time player we’re talking about. Not unlike Kobe, even a Kobe detractor isn’t going to place him outside of their top 15. Draymond and Klay do not have that and even further the fact that they’re each one of the best in their generation at their strongest skills kind of makes them more given to being in those kinds of situations. There’s a huge amount of the NBA fanbase that are happy to ignore how important they were to the warriors success and they will be put in the position to defend their incredibly decorated careers in front of people who don’t care because they weren’t the best player on their teams.
Steph is still good at basketball lol
To be fair, if any of us had four rings we’d do it, too.
It’s just lame when Shaq does it all the time to every response. Draymond knows how to take a joke.
Steph is a global icon for a reason, he’s too charismatic to even need to mention his accolades.
dumb lol
At least Klay has had the capacity to say he was just mad in the heat of the moment. I don’t see Klay being a stubborn old head like Shaq.
Draymond probably will be lmao
Tbh this wasn’t that bad, he just referenced what Shaq always says cause they directly asked him to respond to Chuck lol
Them both having 4 is hilarious coincidence too
The joke, the earnestness of his his preceding merry xmas wish, all of the studio’s reactions, Chuck’s Jordan-esque shrug…even sent the link to my HS starting five.
Shaq and Chuck are peers though. Draymond isn’t at their level.
Draymond can’t talk at all shaq and Barkley are at way different level
dray’s just been riding in stephs backpack for all these years
His seemed light hearted at least, Shaq usually says it when he’s actually tilted
eh I hate Draymond more than the next guy and even I have to say he took it really well here.
May all you be my witness that Shaq will retire and Draymon is gonna replace him and be JUST like him it’s gonna suck for the future lol
Playoff series wanz erneh
The only comeback they ever have for Chuck and yet he changes his zingers, at least using a rotation 😂
It’s different coming from Shaq who is a top 10ish player to Draymond who is a good player but was carried to championships by 2 of the greatest ever.
We throw Chuck on any of those GSW teams and they’d smoke the league
Steph and Klay are not a dynasty without Draymond. Def not a carry. How many small ball 5s can be playmakers and then how many can win defensive player of the year?
How many can you name that are capable of that in the last 20 years? Maybe Marc gasol, Anthony Davis, and then?
Any of these players would have performed 2x as well as Dray during GSW’s championship years, and probably would have gotten more rings than him
also Dray has never legitimately earned a DPOY
Obvious stupid ragebait. Try harder.
I can’t see Al kicking Bron in the nuts when his team is closing out a finals
KD is going to have to lead the Rockets to a couple championships before he retires if we’re going to start referring to him as one of the greatest ever. He’s an MVP and one of the greatest of his era but nobody is seriously putting him on lists of the greatest players of all time.
An odd comment given that with Draymond on the team they smoked the league.
That was quick as hell lmao, instantaneous
Generational air to clip timing
Yeah I have golden lines like this maybe twice a year and Barkley spits them out every show
Chuck is always quick with a joke
I’d prefer never hearing from Draymond again once he’s retired. That’s my Christmas wish. 🙏
If he replaces one of the inside the NBA guys when they retire I probably just won’t watch it any more. Richard Jefferson or Black Griffin or a million other people would be better choices than Draymond.
Edit: If Black Griffin isn’t available I think Blake Griffin could be a great option as well.
Black Griffin
Black griffin is the funniest typo
how about White Griffin
He’s actually both so this would also be accurate
my name black griffin but when you see me I’m whiiite
“I’m not black like Barry White, no, I am white like Frank Black is” might be a GOAT lyric.
Fire Water Burn by the Bloodhound Gang.
Codeswitch Griffin
Did he kill a balrog?
Sounds like a power ranger
Black Griffin is Blake Griffin father.
Oh you will watch it
richard jeffersonis WORSE thn draymond just no way we were gonna act like rj is some killer of an nba personality lmfao
Inside the NBA dies with Charles Barkley. He makes the show what it is.
Draymond would be good if he had someone that can continuously trigger him as fan service for the hate watchers. Like what Chuck is doing here.
This is literally the second time I’ve seen the show since they moved to ESPN. I watched on opening night and that’s it. They don’t show replays like NBA TV used to do when they were on TNT.
Amen
Ausar
Thompson
Dray hate aside, he was just genuinely bad on the show. A lot of guys that come through there just don’t hang with the fellas.
If he knew what’s good for him, he’d step away for a year or two, and grow a bit, get some perspective on things. As it is right now, he’ll always be disliked by a sizable portion of fans. We don’t need another Shaq on the panel.
Dray doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who’s capable of that level of introspection, tbh.
No, he doesn’t, but a lot of players do seem to change for the better after they hang them up and they’re not competing anymore. But yes, I agree, Draymond might not have it in him.
I think he provides good insight, but his comedic stuff are mostly misses. If he’ll be there, he should be more of a Kenny and tone down the rAnGz and “i’m all that and more” banter.
too bad. he’s going to be everywhere. like it or not. (i do not.)
You guys will love him once he’s retired and on the booth
Nah. He’s not that good.
He’s decent when he doesn’t dislike either team involved and can give some pretty insightful commentary on how teams try to defend star players. But when he’s got a vendetta against one of the teams or players, he’s fucking awful
love what exactly?
His deep in game analysis and witty humor
Plenty with game analysis. Haven’t caught the witty humor part. Seems like he has all the Shaq rings quips without the personal accolades. Cant wait
He’s just not funny.
haha no, no one will
LOL
It’s annoying- cause Dray is my least favorite player in the nba (outside of people that have actually done shitty things in the real world and skated because they can put a ball in a basket cough miles bridges)
I’m admittedly biased as a wolves/gobert fan*
But he can be charismatic, well spoken, with a good sense of humor off the court… like he took this well
Honestly kind of like Jimmy Butler. Can’t stand him with how he acted on the way out of Minnesota and has a pattern of being a toxic asshole- but he can come across like one of the funniest/ coolest guys in the leagues. Like his bromance with Buddy Hield is admitted hilarious)
Reminds me of their interaction with Taylor Rooks
Draymond: hey Chuck, how much that suit cost?
Charles: eh, bout a thousand dollars
Dray: it look like it
Everyone: laughs
Charles: lol hey you know what’s funny about that? You know who was asking about you the other day?
Dray: Who? 🤔
Charles: No one!!
Crazy that for these guys, a suit looking like it cost a thousand dollars is an insult.
Tbh yeah and he stayed on brand with a classic telling shaq we’ll bring our rings.
Haha I mean I know Shaq overuses that but felt like good natured ribbing between friends when Chuck gave the first jab to Dray
Won’t defend Dray at all but sports for sure brings out the worst in some people due to the competitive nature of it. Even with their athletic gifts and success there’s probably some folks who shouldn’t be playing for the sake of others lol
That’s true… but the rest of the league (or most of them) manages to do it without all the dirty plays, punching teammates, and irrationally narcissistic/egotistical comments
Every once in awhile anyone can make a mistake or act a bit irrational- but dray has a pattern of being unbearable
Yeah that’s what I mean, Dray is someone that probably shouldn’t be around the sport if he can’t handle his emotions as well as others. But outside of the court he’s probably a decent guy
Ah fair. Some of his comments rub me the wrong way and show me a lack of accountability (specifically his hatred for Gobert really for no reason) but ya he’s much more bearable (sometimes even likable) off the court
Don’t you think there’s something a little psychopathic about that? A person can be super charismatic and read-in on social cues but then turn around and do the most unhinged shit. Less so Jimmy (who I think is much more controlled) than Draymond.
well spoken, charismatic Draymond Green
well spoken, charismatic
Draymond Green
da fuc ? This moron ?
Jimmy Butler is hilarious. Draymond is a whiny bully and jackass.
Bang Bang
Chuck is a legend lol
Chucks just hilarious
From downtown
Come on Chuck 😂😂😂😂😂
The death of Inside the NBA has been greatly exaggerated.
Just like when Chuck told Dray:
“that’s funny, you know who asked me about you the other day?”
“who?”
“nobody”
during the all star game
chuck too quick witted
I don’t get the allure. I assume the ratings say otherwise. Unless he like threatens the producers off camera or something
i think you missed the joke amigo
I think I get it, warriors suck now?
They’re about as good as the Celtics, yeah
One of us!!!!
I hope Draymond is never on Inside again
Haven‘t seen any inside nba videos for a while where they on break or something?
Here’s a schedule.
This is only their 4th show of the year. They have a bunch more as the playoffs get closer.
Didn’t know that thx
They’re only on for ESPN now when most games are on prime & peacock, so you’ll see them a lot less than when they were on TNT
EDIT; But I just learned that they’re getting more games once NFL season is over
Such a subtle but hard hitting jab 😂😂
what about this is subtle….or hard hitting? it’s, like, the easiest joke.
sometimes i think you guys just say stuff without thinking whether it makes any sense or means anything
It’s an r/nba rule to glaze Barkley
That’s a perfectly fair description though? Fully 90% of comments on this subreddit are demonstrably less accurate than that.
Its subtle enough that it could have been said completely innocently by someone other than Barkley, and “your team is trash and wont make the playoffs” is just about the most hard hitting joke he’d be comfortable saying to someone on air as friendly banter.
I think youre just lookin to feel superior to someone cuz they used emojis on reddit, but instead are just being pedantic af about nothing
no. it’s neither subtle nor hard hitting. it’s an obvious, light jab.
Subjective and inane argument, at best. Argue with a wall.
on Xmas lmfao
okay pal 👍
Please don’t tho
Wish they’d stop giving a platform to the biggest asshole in the league.
This is kinda humor I like from Chuck instead the old man bitter crap he usually sprouts .
Rings come back is so lame.
Please dont let dray on TV again
Please no
Fuck Draymond.
Zing! Other than Barry O, don’t sleep on Chuck!
Drakond paused for a moment wondering if he’s allowed to laugh at that in December
Yup! 🤣🤣🤣
Please God no we are all so sick of that man
Lmaooooo
Why do they keep forcing this Draymond media thing lol. Talk to Steph or Jimmy or someone putting up atleast 11 points on the dubs
Chuck is so quick with it
People talking sideways about this show as if the shit they saying isn’t funny af.
Chuck’s wit remains undefeated lol. Also, keep Draymond the fuck off that panel, he drags the entire down so much and everybody, except for the Inside guys apparently, hates it when Draymond is on.
Dray is really committed to those ugly earphones eh.
Chuck be dropping those zingers hella nonchalant.
He is a national treasure.
LMFAO
Jesus 😂😂
Cooked him in national TV. Chuck’s the best.
It’s actually insane therr are people on this sub thay don’t like this show
LOL I love Chuck so much
Inside the NBA gonna be filming out of Galveston this postseason
Has inside been doing shows the past couple months? I feel like in years past, I would see uploads to this sub from every episode as it was live. Now the only time I remember seeing stuff was when they launched on ESPN at the start of the season.
I don’t like Draymond. I don’t want to watch him.
I am not saying he is good or bad on tv. I am just saying that I don’t like him.
nobody asked for that shit
Chuck real comfortable on that seat with his new Nikes from Shaq now.
Bang!
Got em again lmaooo Chuck is too fucking funny
Y’all will never make me hate Inside The NBA
Get cooked dray 😂
That second it took Draymond to process what Chuck said was priceless
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nbamemes/s/q4PF9gilM3
NBA force feeding this dude to us like he’s grandma’s fruitcake. Bah Humbug to him, I say.
Chuck doesn’t have rings, but he is still a certified legend!
Charles is always cold.
I mean that’s just good banter lol, that’s funny as hell
That was more savage than the old man who refused to take a photo of me with my mother-in-law and wife this morning.
This guy adds nothing to the show.
Draymond is definitely someone who should be deplatformed
Please dont
Love that both Charles and Draymond can both take a joke.
Ringz, Erneh is so back
Fuckin love Chuck
Every time draymond opens his mouth we lose a few more brain cells
Old head still got it with the slight jabs 🤣😭
Rinngz earrny
I need a tell all on the trash talk Chuck used to have when he played. Dude is quick.
The clap back from Dray was pretty good “Hey Shaq let’s bring our rings” lmao
Nah weak clap back lol if your main flex is rings you gotta take the team digs.
Chuck has always been jealous of the 4 rings, and is still a hater after all these years.
Take a joke man
