LeBron James' wild dunk did not impress Charles Barkley as he continues to criticize the Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James had one of the coolest dunks of the season, possibly the best we will ever see from a 40-year-old.
But despite the undeniably incredible athletic accomplishment, Inside the NBA analyst and longtime pro Charles Barkley was unimpressed.
"It must have been a beautiful play," Barkley sarcastically said on the TNT broadcast. "We showed it 22 times."
Ernie Johnson asked Barkley if he thought that play was worth it and Barkley responded.
"Not 22 times," he added. "We didn't have to show it a hundred times."
Charles Barkley, who was offended JJ Redick said he doesn't push the NBA product, actively voiced his displeasure at the multiple replays of LeBron's dunk in the first half.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick and Barkley have recently had a back-and-forth beef about how Inside The NBA covers the league.
Barkley said the Lakers "stink" and called them a "bunch of bums" after the loss on Tuesday night.
