NBA legend Charles Barkley does not think that Paul George was right when he said he receives more criticism than other league stars. According to him, it comes with the territory and all great players have to face it.
Chuck mentioned Michael Jordan, who was being called a great individual player who cannot win before he won his first championship with the Chicago Bulls. He also named himself, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Patrick Ewing as examples of superstars that used to get criticized for no winning a ring.
“But this notion that.. Paul George is a terrific player, but that goes with being a terrific player. And these other guys talk about he gets treated unfairly, give me a freaking break,” Barkley said on Inside The NBA.
