Barkley: Varejao has been the best non-alien forward in Eastern Conference

PLAYERS: Anderson Varejao,  Zach Randolph,  Marc Gasol,  Charles Barkley,  Byron Scott
TEAMS: Cleveland Cavaliers,  Memphis Grizzlies

If Anderson Varejao, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol aren’t on the All-Star team, it’s a farce. Anderson Varejao has been the best forward in the Eastern Conference this year. I mean of there mere mortals — I don’t count LeBron, he’s one of those aliens. But out of the normal human beings, Anderson Varejao has been the best forward in the Eastern Conference this year. – TNT analyst and resident non-filtered voice Charles Barkley, Thursday night, when discussing the front court which should play in Houston for the 2012-13 NBA All-Star game. Barkley, at this stage, is merely echoing Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott who has been his center’s biggest supporter. It is worth noting that Barkley has a bit of a history when it comes to not being very kind to Cleveland with his commentary.

Anderson Varejao should win the NBA's Most Improved this season

Via Stepien Rules  |  November 29, 2012
Anderson Varejao should be an All-Star. We've been over this. He's a 14 and 14 guy who's playing out of his mind every night even though it's completely obvious his team will lose before each game ever begins. Maybe that effort will be rewarded with a trip to Houston for ASW. Maybe it won't. Regardless, I do think Varejao does deserve the NBA's Most...

Wild times for the Wild Thing

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  November 29, 2012
One month into the season, Anderson Varejao is All-Star worthy. "He's the best center in the NBA right now; by far the best in the Eastern Conference," said Cavaliers coach Byron Scott. Even if you don't entirely agree with Varejao's coach, it's hard to argue with the numbers. The 6-foot-11 wild man is averaging a career-high 14.5 points. He leads the...

Barkley fails in Popovich interview

Via Fox Sports Southwest  |  November 30, 2012
Charles Barkley is doing sideline interviews now (for some reason), and if it proves anything about sideline reporting, it's that not even being in the Basketball Hall of Fame gets you any extra time with the coach. Barkley, on sideline duty for TNT, attempted to ask San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich three questions, which is 50 percent more questions than a sideline reporter...

Have to hand it to Chuck here.  "My bad".  This is why the world needs more Charles Barkley and another reminder that Gregg Popovich is head and shoulders above everyone else in everything they do.  Oh you want me to play my stars on a TNT broadcast in Miami against the Heat?

TNT basketball analyst Charles Barkley conducted a quick sideline interview with San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich before the start of the second quarter of Thursday night's NBA game against the Miami Heat.

When San Antonio Spurs' Gregg Popovich wasn't drawing the wrath of NBA Commissioner David Stern during last night's Spurs-Heat clash, Pop was being his usual self during the in-game interviews with TNT.

Shootaround: Welp, that was fun

Via Crossover Chronicles  |  November 29, 2012
San Antonio Spurs (13-3) vs. Miami Heat (10-3) 8 p.m./TNT Um, so this game got a lot less interesting. I mean, it might be fun to watch because Charles Barkley is calling the game, but Gregg Popovich's decision to send Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili home to end this road trip for San Antonio takes a lot of the juice out of this game. This is not a 13-3 Spurs...
