Charles Barkley isn't ready to forget his feud with LeBron James anytime soon.

Less than a week after publicly stating he had "no problem with what LeBron said," Barkley opted to take a shot at the King's supporters, calling out Dwyane Wade, Draymond Green, and their generation in general for being overly sensitive.

"This new generation, they all stick together, they all play together, they're all AAU babies," Barkley said on ESPN's "Mike & Mike". "Any type of criticism directed toward them, they consider it hate. Even if it's a fair criticism, they consider it hate. So no, it does not bother me what the new generation thinks, to be honest with you. I know they all stick together, so that's just part of it too."

Both Wade and Green took shots at Barkley for his recent war or words with LeBron, questioning his credibility by bringing up his checkered past and lack of championships.
