NEW YORK–Hall of Famer Charles Barkley recently called out LaVar Ball, the father of UCLA star Lonzo, for saying his kid would be better than Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry, noting “you can be proud of your son, but at some point, it becomes stupidity.”

On Tuesday, LaVar fired back: “If Charles thought like me, maybe he’d win a championship. Oh yeah, it hurt because he’s saying sometimes when stuff comes out of people’s mouth is just stupid. Guess what? You talking too. So, everybody has an opinion how things were.”

And later on Tuesday, when asked by For The Win about Ball’s quotes, he fired back.

“I didn’t win a championship,” he said at a TNT/CBS NCAA Tournament media event in New York City. “I don’t know what his basketball career was, but I’d put mine up against his.”

“His son’s life is his life, not yours,” he added. “No matter what he’s trying to accomplish, it’s not his. So I wish his son nothing but the best. His kid’s a heck of a player. But I don’t like when parents interject.”
