DeMarcus Cousins says he has no respect for Barkley and he never will

Both Barkley and Cousins come from Alabama

NBA
Sacramento Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins said he doesn’t have respect for Charles Barkley. Both Barkley and Cousins come from Alabama.

Per Bleacher Report, That is how Cousins views Barkley, and it's why, in spite of playing for him on All-Star Weekend in the Rising Stars Challenge, sharing a dais in Sacramento with him for their mutual friend, Mayor Kevin Johnson, and spending a week together in Spain this summer, he refuses to acknowledge Barkley's presence.
Mention that Barkley doesn't believe the cold shoulder is merited, and Cousins responds as if Barkley is standing directly in front of him:
"I have no respect for you and I never will. We have nothing to talk about. So, yes, every time we see each other, there will never be words."

"Coming up as a kid and hearing that from one of the best players ever to come out of Alabama," Cousins said, "a guy people grow up looking up to, to hear him say, 'Well, he's not that good...' I remember it like it was yesterday. Then, coming into my rookie season, you take up for your ex-coach and say I'm the worst thing that ever happened to Sacramento on national TV. Yeah, I'm going to remember."
