Charles Barkley has a funny warning for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Barkley joined “The Dan Patrick Show” on Wednesday and talked with Patrick about the In-Season Tournament. Barkley called the inaugural In-Season Tournament “a resounding success,” but he scoffed at the idea of a team putting up a banner to celebrate winning the tournament.
“It was a resounding success. But we not raising banners. We’re not doing parades,” Barkley said. “You don’t do champagne for the In-Season Tournament.”
Barkley then shared his warning: if the Lakers raise a banner for winning the tournament, he will mock them on TNT.
“If you’re the Lakers or the Celtics, only thing matters is more championships. … the Lakers better not put up an In-Season banner. If they do that, I’m gonna roast their a– on TV.”
It sure sounds like Barkley will get his opportunity. The Lakers reportedly have decided they will hang a banner that will celebrate their In-Season Tournament win.
The Lakers will have some company in the realm of embarrassing banners.
"If they put that in-season banner up I'm gonna roast their ass on television."
