Barkley: Jamdu led to the second rich line! RJ: You also went to the Rockets. The Lakers 2004 F4

September 7th NBA legend Charles Barkley recently blamed LeBron James and Kevin Durant for the establishment of the second rich line, saying that their frequent formation of super teams forced the NBA to take this measure.

In response to this, former NBA player and James teammate Richard Jefferson angrily criticized Barkley on the podcast program "RoadTrippin". He mentioned Barkley's history of trying to form a super team, and the 2004 example of the Los Angeles Lakers signing Gary Payton and Carl Malone as early super teams, far earlier than the era of LeBron James.

Jefferson said: "Charles, to be honest, you joined Olajuwon's team because he had won two championships. It sounds like LeBron joining Wade. Then you brought Scotty Pippen, which sounds like Bosh joining. Let's look at Shaq and Kobe. Do you remember they recruited Gary Payton, who was at the peak, and then Carl Malone?

"Do we remember the second-most scoring power forward in history (Karl Malone) who joined their team after Shaq and Kobe won three of the past four championships? Why do we always think that LeBron is the first person to form a team in NBA history? We blame LeBron for everything. No, the second rich line does not exist because of LeBron James. ”
