Chris Paul at least apologized before stopping Charles Barkley in his tracks.
After Phoenix's 118-117 home win Thursday night over Portland on TNT, the Hall of Famer was talking with Paul during a postgame interview about the possibility of playing the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers or Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.
"Normally when you're a one seed or a two seed, you kind of get an easier game," Barkley said.
As Barkley was noting those possible playoff matchups for the Suns (49-21), who are currently a two seed and a game behind Utah (50-20), Paul seemed a get a bit irritated as he started looking away from the camera.
