Barkley says Anthony doesn't deserve to start the All-Star Game

Charles Barkley, a noted (New York) Knicks agitator, said on Thursday night that (Carmelo) Anthony doesn’t deserve to start the All-Star Game because the Knicks have struggled so mightily this season.

New York (7-36) has the worst record in the NBA.

“I do have a problem with that,” Barkley said on TNT. “I just don’t understand. … If I’m a fan, you have to be honest and realistic.”
