He's never looked in the mirror and said, 'Man, was that a fair criticism?’" "He’s an all-time great. But when it comes to being mentioned with some of these other guys, he’s going to have to win a championship where he’s the leader of the team and he’s the best player," Barkley said.Barkley said on"60 Minutes" he wasn’t going to mince words when he analyzes the game and gives his opinion.
