Charles Barkley is not a fan of LaVar Ball. During an interview with Trey Wingo and Mike Golic on ESPN radio, the former NBA star and current TNT analyst blasted the elder Ball for having “no talent”, being a bad father and exploiting his children for money.

Everybody talking about how he might be a good father, this and that. No he’s not. He’s just exploiting his kids. … He’s all about Big Baller Brand. He has no foreseeable talent. He’s trying to make money off his kids, and I just feel sadness for those kids because they’re going to do whatever he tells them to do. I just don’t like the guy at all, plain and simple. And don’t tell me he’s a good father. Just because you exploit your kids, trying to make money because you have no talent, that does not make you a good father.”
“I wish there was a place farther away from America they could send him,” Barkley said. “I don’t know where Lithuania is, but if there is another place farther away, I would love it.”
Barkley’s colleague Kenny Smith doesn’t agree that Ball is exploiting his kids.

Barkley better get ready because LaVar Ball is surely going to fire some shots right back at him.
