Another example of trying to create outrage with a headline.
Barkley is concerned for Isaiah's state of mind in the wake of such a terrible, personal tragedy. Or to the media, ratings.
The problem that people have with Barkley is that he is honest and doesn't vomit the same safe, cliche, "my heart goes out to..." phrases that are so commonly heard following an incident like this. It is uncomfortable to watch. Most of us can only imagine the pain that Isaiah is feeling at that moment. It boils my blood that they just had to get a camera on that sad, personal moment. I felt awful for Isaiah upon hearing the news, and I didn't need an exclusive shot to have a true understanding of the emotions he is dealing with.
Can you imagine if he had been available post-game, and the types of questions he would have been asked?
