Charles Barkley on the irrational hatred of LeBron James..

“LeBron’s a great kid. He’s a great player. But there are so many people who root against him it really pisses me off…I think by the time he’s finished he’s gonna be one of the 10 greatest players ever.

But you hear some of these reporters and some of these fans, man, they just haters. I’m not big on using the word ‘hater’ but how can you hate somebody who’s that successful–who’s that great at his job? But that’s what we have created with fame now. If you’re great at something now, people just dislike you.

When somebody takes shots at you, you have to realize what they’re really trying to say. What they’re really trying to say is, ‘You’re life is great. Mine Sucks. Let me try to bring you down to my level.’ So you can never let people do that to you.”

The ringleader of the LeBron Haters?

“It’s all led by old punk ass Skip Bayless.”
