Charles Barkley Lays Into Kyrie Irving, Tells Him To 'Just Shut the Hell Up'

Charles Barkley is sick of Kyrie Irving's antics. The NBA analyst ripped into the Nets point guard during ESPN's Keyshawn, JWill & ZubinShow on Thursday.

Irving recently issued a statement saying that he would let his play "speak for itself" this season. That led many to believe he was boycotting the media, but that quickly ended after he was hit with multiple fines by the NBA.

It was yet another episode with Irving, who has often stirred things up publicly. And that, my friends, is why Barkley has had enough.

During his appearance on Thursday, Barkley went after Irving -- hard.

Was Barkley done? Absolutely not. In fact, the TNT host was just getting started.

Well, that escalated quickly. Barkley even hit him with the "you only went to college for six months" line. That was the knockout punch.

He isn't wrong either. Irving has certainly taken on a kind of god complex, constantly trying to go after something or someone. It's become exhausting.

And like Barkley, a lot of people out there -- whether you're a fan of the NBA or not -- are absolutely sick of it. Good for Sir Charles.
