Former NBA All-Star and current TNT analyst Charles Barkley spoke out against recent comments by Lavar Ball, the father of UCLA freshman sensation Lonzo Ball, concerning his son's potential to become better than Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry.

Sean Deveney of the Sporting News passed along comments Monday from the outspoken Barkley, who didn't hold back when it came to Ball's remarks:

Just because you say some s—, doesn't make it right. He's gonna be better than Steph Curry? That's what he said. Steph Curry has won a couple MVPs, he's pretty good.
