Charles Barkley and Charles Oakley don’t like each other. That much is evident, especially after Wednesday night.
The Cleveland Cavaliers decimated the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2 of their second-round NBA playoffs series, setting an NBA record with 25 3-pointers in the process. Barkley, on TNT’s coverage of the game, said he felt the Hawks should have roughed up the Cavs some to send a message.
Oakley, a former NBA tough guy himself, wasn’t a fan of Barkley’s call for violence.
Oakley’s tweet came in time for the “Inside the NBA” crew to show it to Barkley on air, allowing the Hall of Famer to respond.
As for Barkley being unsure why he and Oakley don’t get along, well, there is at least one reason — or two.

Or this.
But yeah, other than that, we can’t think of a reason why.
