Charles Barkely responded to a tweet from Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey on Tuesday night, and he didn’t hold back in his criticism of Morey or the NBA analytics community in general.

Here is Morey’s original tweet:

On TNT postgame appearance on Tuesday night, Barkley fired back:

“The Rockets sucked for a long time, so they went out and paid James Harden a lot of money. They got better,” he said. “Then they went out and got Dwight Howard. They got better. …

“The NBA is about talent,” he went on. “All these guys who run these organizations who talk about analytics, they have one thing in common — they’re a bunch of guys who have never played the game, and they never got the girls in high school, and they just want to get in the game.”

In the same segment, he called out the Rockets’ defense. “Just because you’ve got good stats doesn’t mean you’re a good team defensively,” Barkley said. “They’re not a good defensive team. They gave up 118 points. No good team gives up 118 points.”

Reactions to Barkley ran the gamut, but most people had a good sense of humor about the whole thing.

Morey hasn’t responded yet to Barkley. We will update if he does.
