The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

So there's always been that.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

Listen, I will admit I've never seen anything like that last night where an entire team go around the refs.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

I've never seen that in my, I'm close to 50 years now.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

I'd never seen that in my life where a whole team go around referees after the game.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

That was pretty interesting.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

Okay, but what message can you give to the officials in a situation like that that the Lakers found themselves in?

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

I don't think that can help them in any capacity because now the referees are going to be like, well, if we start calling fouls for the Lakers, they're going to think that tactic worked.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

So I didn't see any positives about that, to be honest with you.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

But like I say, because refs, you know, athletes and refs always lie about, I don't read the newspaper, I don't watch television.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

Stop lying.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

Yes, you do.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

And the refs are going to be like, now, if we come out and give the Lakers all these calls, the media are going to be saying the little hijack thing worked.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

So I don't see anything positive out of it, to be honest with you.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

And J.J.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

Redick said that LeBron, he gets fouled more than anybody, I think, in the history of the game, which isn't true because Shaq got fouled probably more than anybody because you could never tell if you were hurting Shaq, whereas LeBron's a big guy, but he also is pretty theatrical as well.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

Is LeBron being refereed fairly?

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

Man, first of all, all great players, a couple things.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

All great players make contact with the defense first.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

So then there's always contact.

The Dan Patrick Show
Hour 2 โ€“ SGA: Foul Merchant, Charles Barkley

I always try to hit the guy I was playing against just to knock him off balance so I could get my shot off.
