Charles Oakley is still not holding back when it comes to Charles Barkley.

Appearing on The Art of Dialogue this week, Oakley blasted Barkley again and called him a hypocrite for criticizing today's stars for teaming up when Barkley once did the same thing.
"But you look at Barkley who said everybody team up," Oakley said. "He teamed up with Hakeem Olajuwon and Scottie Pippen in Houston. And he always talking about somebody teaming up. Just these guys, just some hypocrite on TV."
Oakley kept going.
"They commentate but they are not educating people about the game," Oakley said. "He's just talking. If you listen to him, something else is wrong with you. Everyone thinks his opinion is so good. He ain't saying nothing. TNT and them guys, they do more clowning around than they do telling people about the game."
Of course, Barkley is not longer on TNT, as the popular "Inside the NBA" show is now on ESPN.
Anyway, Barkley has famously hammered stars like Kevin Durant for joining superteams. But Oakley is not wrong. Barkley did end up on a Rockets roster that paired him with Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler in 1996. Scottie Pippen later arrived in Houston a few years later.
There is plenty of history here too. Oakley and Barkley actually got into physical fights with each other more than once during their playing days. And Oakley has continued to take shots publicly over the years.
This latest round just keeps the feud running.
