During the latest episode of TNT's 'Inside the NBA,' Barkley got heated and said the league 'dropped the ball' in how it responded to the Nets player's controversial Twitter post.
Barkley told viewers that the NBA and commissioner Adam Silver “dropped the ball” on its handling of Irving’s situation. “First of all, Adam’s Jewish,” Barkley said.
He then referenced the nearly $37 million that Irving will reportedly earn for this season: “You can’t take my $40 million and insult my religion. If you’re gonna insult me, you have the right. But I have the right to say, ‘No, you’re not going to take my $40 million and insult my religion.’ I think the NBA, they made a mistake.
