Charles Barkley wants to make one thing clear: He has no issue with LeBron James' comments from Monday.
"I have no problem with what LeBron said. ... I've done some stupid things in my life," Barkley said on the NBA on TNT.
However, the TNT broadcaster did add that, unlike the Cavaliers forward, he doesn't get personal when he critiques others.
"All my criticism or comments on any player or team is strictly about basketball," Barkley said.

Barkley stood by his comments from last week, reiterating that LeBron shouldn't be "whiny" given his talented supporting cast.
