We have a feud! Charles Barkley has drawn the ire of another NBA superstar. Barkley responded to all the "Knicks in '10" talk surrounding LeBron James by telling The Chosen One to "shut the hell up." Barkley argued on TNT Thursday and on Dan Patrick's radio show that Barkley is annoyed by LeBron answering the questions as he did Tuesday at Madison Square Garden, being coy and not dismissing the Knicks outright or refusing to talk about the situation.

Friday, reporters asked LeBron about Barkley's comments.
"He's stupid. That's all I've got to say about that."
I'm guessing King James is getting dropped from Chuck's Five. But, hey, LeBron is absolutely right. James is playing this about as straight as he can. What exactly has LeBron said that's been so out of line? That July 1, 2010 will be a big day in the NBA? Of course it will be. And I appreciate the sentiment that we should all pay attention to the basketball in front of us, but it's impossible to ignore the coming NBA armageddon.

Think about how many teams will be affected on July 1, 2010. If there are 10 magnificent free agents, the entire league could very well have one of their own in flux, be in play for one, or be forced to adjust based on the moves of a rival. Sure, two titles will be decided before then -- and of course these are as important. The game isn't stopping for 29 teams. But seriously, is LeBron to ignore that 30th team? Give me a break.
