We have got to stop asking Charles Barkley for his opinion on analytics. When Barkley had it explained to him that those stats and numbers that he loves are actually analytics, the NBA Hall of Famer used some ignorant stereotype to explain analytics.

In Barkley’s world, Analytics to stats is like black people saying they cook — while white people refer to themselves as chefs.
I would really prefer that Barkley next time use the apples to oranges reference or something less demeaning of his own black people.
