Charles Barkley does a lot of talking. He did as a player and he still does as an NBA analyst for TNT. Fellow NBA-er Charles Oakley didn’t like the way Barkley was talking about the Cleveland Cavaliers, who demolished the Atlanta Hawks in Game 2 of the conference semis on Wednesday night.
Oakley sent Barkley a shot on Twitter.

It was assumed that Oakley may have been responding to a comment Barkley made about the Hawks needing to “touch up” the Cavaliers since they were losing so badly.
Barkley responded to Oakley on the set of NBA on TNT, saying he knows Oakley has never liked him and he’s not important enough for him to think about:

Oakley is definitely no fan of Barkley’s, as we know from history. He told a story about how he once slapped Barkley in an interview with ESPN’s Dan Le Batard two years ago.
And as we also remember, Barkley and Oakley scrapped on the court during a preseason game in 1996.
