LeBron James has responded strongly to comments made by Charles Barkley that James is disrespecting the Cavaliers and their fans by discussing his free agency year in 2010, the Associated Press is reporting.
"He's stupid. That's all I've got to say about that," James said Friday night before the Cavaliers' game against Golden State.
Barkley made the comments on TNT's NBA studio show and Dan Patrick's radio show.
"If I was LeBron James, I would shut the hell up," the Hall of Famer said on Patrick's show. "I'm a big LeBron fan. He's a stud. You gotta give him his props. I'm getting so annoyed he's talking about what he's going to do in two years. I think it's disrespectful to the game. I think it's disrespectful to the Cavaliers."

A few of LeBron James' closest friends claim that the Knicks are the early favorites to sign the forward in the summer of 2010.
William Wesley is a close friend and adviser to James, and is regarded as a powerful insider among the NBA's top players and executives.
When asked during Wednesday's Knicks-Pistons game if he feels the Knicks are the favorite to sign LeBron, Wesley said: "Barack Obama could use Donnie Walsh to clear salary-cap space for the country."
