Matt Barnes Responds To Kwame Brown’s Call Out

Former NBA player Kwame Brown is doing the most on Social Media these days. The former #1 NBA pick has been a punching bag for most pundits since the Wizards selected him with the #1 pick. It wasn’t the right call, and he quickly became a draft bust legend. This week Brown was taking swipes at Matt Barnes and Co. over comments they made about him on their podcast.

Now we have Matt Barnes’ response:

“I get where he’s coming from. He’s kind of been the butt of jokes coming into the league and not being able to live up to the No. 1 potential,” Barnes said on ESPN’s The Jump. “I guess some stuff was said on the podcast… I didn’t say nothing or do nothing. If you want to be mad at anyone, be mad at MJ for drafting you number one.”

“I don’t even recall Rachel to be honest with you. So good luck bro.”

Barnes and Jackson probably didn’t need to respond, but they’re not the kind of guys to keep their mouth shut after being called out.

Kwame Brown’s name is definitely a little less tarnished after this whole debacle.
