He spoke on this last night on TNT before the Nets & Orlando game came on. He said that Jason Kidd should've went to Rod Thorn & told him that Byron should get a coaching extension. Barkley said the Nets aren't that good anyway & how could they do Byron like that after he took them to the finals 2 yrs in a row. He said Jason Kidd need to keep his mouth shut & stop crying LOL. He also said fans shouldn't be able to vote for who should make the all star team every yr cause he said the fans always pick their favorite players instead of picking people who are having good seasons. He said there is no way Sam Cassell shouldn't be the starter of the west all stars. I agree with him on that. Sam should definitely be a starter this yr on the all star squad cause he is having a very good yr. Steve Francis is gonna be the starting point guard for the west. I hope Lebron James makes the reserves. He deserves it. He already said he wouldn't be in the slam dunk contest cause his ankle is still sore.
