After the Nuggets swept the Los Angeles Lakers, it was a moment for Denver to shine and grab all the headlines. However, LeBron James‘ retirement rumors took over all the news space and the Nuggets’ heroics were barely discussed. Sir Charles felt very strongly about the unfair treatment as he blurted out his opinion on air. Whatever the case may be, the Nuggets are in the NBA Finals, and they are prepared to make history against the Miami Heat.

The NBA legend recently showered praise on Murray, who has been absolutely crucial for his team. Murray has showcased his range and quality as a star and has managed to impress Chuck. Talking about Murray’s injury after his heroics in the bubble, Barkley said that his injury was a setback for the Nuggets.
