Part 3/8:
During a postgame discussion on "Inside the NBA," NBA commentator Charles Barkley expressed his discontent with the Lakers’ performance. Barkley made it clear that he found the Lakers to be lacking in the fundamentals of the game. He argued that the media's fascination with the Lakers allowed for a narrative where blame is consistently placed on others—be it coaching staff or fellow players—while LeBron James largely escapes criticism. This ongoing trend raises questions about LeBron's legacy and the media's role in shaping public perception around his career.
