Charles Barkley disagreed with Shannon Sharpe's conduct during his altercation with the Memphis Grizzlies Friday.
with a three-minute statement on Monday. The Grizzlies have not made additional comments since Friday and face the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.Barkley hasn't been shy about calling out fan behavior in the past or criticizing players. Earlier this season, he said Morant needs to evolve and make his teammates better. Morant and several Grizzlies were quick to respond to dismiss Barkley's comments.
During last year's playoffs, Barkley criticized fans involved in an altercation with Chris Paul's family and suggested players should be able to fight unruly fans. He didn't go that far with Sharpe and the Grizzlies but he didn't condone Sharpe's actions. "I'm not saying anybody was right or wrong but I'm saying as a guy who's on television, I could never get into it with the players. That's just my rule of thumb," Barkley said.
