Even after the validation of his first All-Star team selection– DeMarcus Boogie Cousins is continuing his verbal assault on NBA Hall of Famer — Charles Barkley.
Asked about the TNT analyst criticism of him — Cousins responded with a resounding “who cares what he thinks.”
“It ain’t personal,” Cousins said when asked about the TNT analyst. “I mean, I don’t really respect the guy, but at the same time, I don’t really care what he thinks either.
“I don’t respect him and I don’t care what he thinks.”
Barkley recently ripped the Kings for discussing the George Karl hire with Boogie.
“Why are they discussing it with him,” Barkley said during a TNT telecast. “Yeah, I am totally disgusted with that. … He hasn’t done enough to deserve that type of power. [The Kings] stink. Why would you give a guy that young that type of power?
“If you’re a Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon or somebody like that, yeah, you deserved that type of power after you have earned it. Let me just say this either way, that’s just total [garbage]. That’s ridiculous.”
