Barkley Points Finger at LeBron and KD…
The biggest change in the NBA’s new CBA? Aprons, but not the kind you wear while cooking pancakes! Charles Barkley blames LeBron James and Kevin Durant for this new second apron rule in the salary cap, arguing they’ve turned the league into a kitchen without rival chefs. To avoid getting tangled in this apron, like a cat trapped in yarn, teams like the Lakers have to juggle players more than a circus clown with spinning plates. Barkley humorously suggests the rule exists because LeBron and KD like playing ‘super friends’ instead of battling like gladiators.
Despite being a bit harsh on the superhero duo, Barkley still ranks LeBron with the legendary likes of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, comparing it to ranking superheroes Batman, Superman, and a sandwich-loving Michelangelo from Ninja Turtles. He’s grudgingly acknowledging that, despite the apron blues, teams have found ways to navigate this new salary cap maze. Meanwhile, if Barkley had a dollar for every time someone mentioned these aprons, he’d have enough money to buy his own NBA franchise—and maybe even some aprons.
