Part 2/10:
Charles Barkley has been vocal about his frustrations with sports media, particularly aimed at his colleagues at ESPN. According to him, the network's fixation on teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks overshadows other emerging stories in basketball, such as the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Oklahoma City Thunder's performances. He recently expressed disdain over Kendrick Perkins' claim that the Lakers are pivotal in "saving the NBA." Barkley argued that while the Lakers might be enjoying a moment of success, they've overshadowed the consistent achievements of other teams.
