Charles Barkley sounds off: 'I’ve never seen the NBA as bad as it is’

In a year that the Golden State Warriors broke the single-season wins record, TNT analyst and basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley has never seen the NBA worse off.

Barkley joined Bickley and Marotta on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM Friday and sounded off on the current state of the NBA.

He’s not happy with what he’s seen.

Barkley said via Arizona Sports:

“People think us old guys hate when we talk about it. It has nothing to do with the Warriors’ greatness, LeBron’s greatness. But I’ve never seen the NBA as bad as it is, and I’ve been saying it the last three or four years. We’ve got too many young players coming out of college that don’t know how to play. It’s frustrating for me because I want to see competitive basketball.

“We took a survey on our crew … How many actual NBA teams would you buy season tickets for? Four in the west and Cleveland obviously in the east. That’s not good for our league.”
