LeBron James has had enough of Charles Barkley‘s criticism. After last night’s loss, LeBron completely ran down Barkley’s resume of misbehavior in an interview with ESPN and basically gave the NBA Hall of Famer a verbal Stone Cold Stunner.

“I’m not going to let him disrespect my legacy like that,” James told ESPN. “I’m not the one who threw somebody through a window. I never spit on a kid. I never had unpaid debt in Las Vegas. I never said, ‘I’m not a role model.’ I never showed up to All-Star Weekend on Sunday because I was in Vegas all weekend partying.
“All I’ve done for my entire career is represent the NBA the right way. Fourteen years, never got in trouble. Respected the game. Print that.”
Today, the internet responded in classic fashion, giving LeBron and Barkley the WWE treatment.

Of course, this isn’t the first time LeBron has been given the wrestling treatment. When LeBron “took his talents to South Beach” the NWO comparisons were obvious.
And when LeBron went back to Cleveland, he got a double dose of WWE parodies.
As an unabashed WWE fan, LeBron would have to appreciate how the internet has handled his feud with Barkley. Whose side are you on?
