NBA传奇球星现在正在TNT担任球评的Charles Barkley与前球员Kendrick Perkins之间的恩怨再度升温。稍早Barkley在TNT的《Inside the NBA》节目中直接对镜头开砲，批评ESPN过度关注洛杉矶湖人与金州勇士，而忽略克里夫兰骑士和奥克拉荷马雷霆。
Barkley特别点名Perkins，称其为「愚蠢的白痴」，并质疑他本周声称「湖人拯救了NBA」的言论，Barkley还说这个人就是我们下个赛季要去工作的那个电视台。

对此Perkins迅速在社群媒体上回应：「@NBAonTNT，记得告诉那位老先生查尔斯 巴克利，我随时在这里！如果他认为我是愚蠢的白痴，那就当面说清楚。我可是德州409区的，从不退缩，随时奉陪！」
Hey @NBAonTNT might wanna tell that senior citizen Charles Barkley that I ll be around. When he see an idiot or fool in person make sure he keep that same energy. He can come playing with me if he want to and imma Address his ass like the numbers on a house. Straight from the 409
