Charles Barkley apologizes for saying he wanted to punch Draymond Green

One day after repeatedly saying he wanted to punch Warriors forward Draymond Green in the face, TNT analyst Charles Barkley apologized on Wednesday. Barkley first did so on a Chicago-based radio show. Then, while appearing on TNT's "Inside the NBA" before Wednesday night's Utah-Houston game, he said, "I apologize to Draymond Green. What I said was wrong and inappropriate. I would never punch an NBA player. Draymond annoys me at times, but he's a hell of a player." Barkley and colleagues Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith also made light of the incident.
