Hall of Famer Charles Barkley spoke out after the league announced that Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James would not be suspended after he violated the NBA’s health and safety protocols earlier this week when he attended a promotional event with rapper Drake and actor Michael B. Jordan.


quote:

The NBA ain’t got the balls to suspend Lebron James. Zero." Barkley said during a virtual interview with Yahoo Sports.


quote:

Barkley admitted that he started to laugh when he heard the news of the league’s decision.

The NBA, they ain’t got no chance of suspending Lebron James. If it was a nobody, they would put him in health and safety protocols," Barkley said. "Ain’t no f--king way LeBron James is going to be sitting out because of health and safety protocols."

Barkley said when he read that, he started laughing and said: "Lebron James is playing Sunday. Guaaaaranteeed."

There is zero reason any one in the league follows protocol now. Hell I’d be going out of my way to make sure they knew I was at this point

They will not suspend the King just like they would never do that to MJ in the 90s if he did something.

During last year’s playoffs the NBA suspended Danuel House after a testing official went to his hotel room.

This year Kevin Porter Jr violated protocol by going to a strip club and all he got was a fine. This isn't LeBron getting special treatment. It's the NBA having weak shite penalties that aren't going to make a guy earning big money blink.

quote:

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. has been fined $50,000 for violating the league's Health and Safety Protocols, which among other things prohibit attending indoor social gatherings of 15 or more people or entering bars, lounges, clubs or similar establishments, it was announced today by Byron Spruell, League Operations. Porter Jr. violated these rules when he attended a club in Miami on April 19.

It took about 9 days for them to announce what Porter was fined so unless it's an automatic $50k ding LeBron's probably hasn't even been decided yet.
