TNT NBA analyst Charles Barkley is never one to sugar coat advice. So when he was asked what his advice to Sacramento Kings forward DeMarcus Cousins would be, he said this:
“Grow up”, Barkley told ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption on Wednesday. “Just grow up. He’s got a world of talent…he’s not in college anymore. We’re men. NBA stands for No Babies Allowed.”
Cousins’ response?

Barkley has interesting take on MLK, Jr. Day
Charles Barkley is well known for not holding back in saying what he's thinking. He once made a joke about Abraham Lincoln being his favorite president, because he didn't have to call Ernie Johnson his boss because of Honest Abe. He was at it again last night on TNT. Ernie brought up the fact that there are two basketball games on Martin Luther King day, which apparently...
Charles Barkley Wonders Why He Has To Work On MLK Holiday (VIDEO)
I laugh at all things Charles Barkley. The man has no filter when it comes to his mouth. His mouth paired with a blunt, outspoken personality has been gaining him some spotlight as of lately. It’s not surprising that he works for TNT and has never seen daylight at ESPN. Not everyone finds his controversial, almost crossing the line humor hilarious as I do.
I thought Barkley...
Charles Barkley, Shaq Don’t Think Kevin Garnett Deserves To Be All-Star Starter
Speaking on TNT NBA Tip-off, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal said Garnett, who received 553,222 votes, the least among the 10 starters, didn’t deserve the honor this year.
“I love Kevin Garnett, but he’s not having an All-Star year,” Barkley said. “It’s not fair to Tyson Chandler. He should be starting in the All-Star Game.”
“Tyson Chandler should be starting...
Cousins, Kings earn high-scoring win over Cavs
SACRAMENTO -- This was no time for Sacramento Kings coach Keith Smart to be picky. He and his team needed a victory, so although there was no domination, holding on for a 124-118 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night was just fine. An announced crowd of 12,194 at Sleep Train Arena watched DeMarcus Cousins lead the Kings with 26 points, 14 rebounds, six assists...

Charles Barkley makes a joke about the NBA and MLK Day
Again we have another thing that I probably shouldn’t find funny, but because Charles Barkley said it I find myself laughing.
Even Ernie Johnson gave it a chuckle.
Kings 95, Wizards 94
DeMarcus Cousins had 21 points and 16 rebounds while Tyreke Evans and John Salmons each scored 21 points to help the Sacramento Kings beat the Washington Wizards 95-94 on Wednesday night.
With the score tied, Evans was fouled on a drive to the basket with 11.4 seconds left. He made one of two free throws to give the Kings a 95-94 lead.
Bradley Beal missed a runner in the closing...
Dirk gets shut down by old-man security guard
It's pretty funny to see this guy's attempt at being a hard-ass without cracking a smile while Dirk dicks around with him.
Being a Kings security guard can't be an easy task -- I'm sure they're always on high alert because DeMarcus Cousins could snap at any time and choke anyone in the building.
It was pretty funny that both announcers noted the security guard...
Box Score: Kings 124, Cavaliers 118
Demarcus Cousins had a field day against the Cavaliers skinny, thin, and weak frontcourt. The immensely talented and often troubled center compiled 26 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 blocks as the Cavaliers rallied to cut the lead to three but were unable to break through as they lost to the Kings in Sacramento 124-118 after yielding 69 first half points. Dion Waiters turned...
Kings squeak by the Wizards 95-94
Numbers are deceptive. Sometimes numbers are not deceptive. Tonight, there are some really big deal type numbers, and well there are also some numbers that are probably not as big of a deal as they look like.
First, look at minutes. 83: The combined amount of minutes DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans were on the floor tonight (Cousins had 43 of those).
62: Points in the paint...
