Say what you want about Barkley, but he speaks his mind. Sure, he might say idiotic things but he also points out what people are too afraid to say. It's too bad the Blazers didn't pull the trigger to acquire him. He has shown love for the Rose Garden crowd and has stated that the Blazers were the one team he'd play for if he could play again. Despite his annoying antics, he would've made a great Blazer.
I think he's still an idiot. That Miami is significantly more "whiny" than most NBA teams is a bit of a joke to me. Ed O.
