At halftime of the Golden State Warriors’ semifinal game 2 matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans during TNT’s Inside the NBA show Charles Barkley said something that couldn’t be unsaid.  “I wanna punch his a** in the face, I do.”

Barkley would go on to repeat the same sentiment about 4 or 5 times on the halftime broadcast.  The rest of his co-hosts couldn’t hold themselves back from laughter and questioned his motives.  He didn’t offer much of an explanation but it was pretty clear that he is not a fan of Draymond Green and his gritty, not afraid to get in your face, style of play which is sort of a head-scratcher given Barkley’s own history during his playing years.

After the game Draymond Green had a very direct and straight to the point response to Chuck’s halftime comments.

Draymond’s mother, Mary Babers Green who isn’t one to shy away from speaking up for her kin did just that after Barkley’s comments aired.

Soon after she doubled down with two more tweets.

Barkley has yet to respond to Draymond’s comments.
