Charles Barkley and DeMarcus Cousins have never been shy about their feelings for each other. Barkley has been critical of Cousins throughout his career. In response, Cousins once said of Barkley, “I have no respect for you and never will.”
On Thursday, TNT was discussing the current state of Cousins’ Sacramento Kings, who just fired interim coach Ty Corbin to hire George Karl. The panel was talking about the idea of Cousins have consulting power within the organization, potentially in response to a report that Cousins’ camp wasn’t in favor of hiring Karl. Cousins was known to be a big proponent of former head coach Mike Malone, who the Kings fired earlier this year.
When asked about Cousins theoretically having consulting power with Sacramento’s front office, Barkley said, “Yeah, I am totally disgusted with that -- I almost went over the line.”
Barkley later said, “He ain’t done enough to deserve that type of power. They stink. Why would you give a guy that young that type of power?”
Reporter David Aldridge then said, “That’s not approval, understand. Consulting is different from approval.”
Barkley’s response? The vine above.
