Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, calling today’s NBA players “poor babies” who “can’t play back-to-back games” and thinks the league altering its 2017-18 schedule to accommodate players with more rest time is ridiculous. He made the comments this week at the SMU Athletic Forum, according to “The Dallas Morning News.”
