Charles Barkley DESTROYS Draymond Green For disrespecting kobe

Charles Barkley DESTROYS Draymond Green For disrespecting kobe Draymond Green called the Mamba Mentality fake. On a podcast, he told players to stop invoking Kobe Bryant, and Shaq nodded along. But there's one voice that buries the take without ever saying Draymond's name: Charles Barkley. For years, Barkley has ranked Kobe a slip above LeBron James, called his game greatness with no other word for it, and told the story of Kobe texting him at four in the morning over a single criticism. This is the whole argument. Draymond says the mentality was never real. Kobe, in his own words, describes the referee handbook he studied, the kill list he kept at thirteen, and the obsession that made a big shot feel like breathing. Even Shaq, who co-signed Draymond, once called Kobe alien. Barkley never had to answer Draymond directly. Everything he's ever said about Kobe already did. Was Draymond wrong?
