In an interview on ESPN’s SVP & Russillo Wednesday, Charles Barkley stated he would prefer LeBron James to go back to the Cleveland Cavaliers to finish out his NBA career. The NBA Hall of Famer who has never been shy about speaking his mind believes the Cavaliers fans are better fans than the current team James plays for now which is the Miami Heat.
“He’s a great player, a great person. I hope he goes back to Cleveland. Those fans in Miami are not real fans, those fans in Cleveland are real fans. I’ve always hoped he would go back to Cleveland,” said Charles Barkley, reported by Sports World News .
What makes the Cavaliers such an intriguing destination for King James to go back to is they have had the number one pick in the NBA draft lottery three out of the past four years. A name that comes to mind is Kryie Irving who has become an NBA All-Star point guard.
Sir Charles Barkley insists he likes the league’s four time MVP, however he feels the only gripe people hold against him is the way he left Cleveland in 2010.
"Nobody dislikes LeBron. I think LeBron made a huge mistake with that 'Decision' crap. He's come back and since admitted that. That's the only thing people hold against LeBron,” said Barkley, confirmed by ESPN .
