After getting mowed down like blades of grass by Brown, Barnes, 39, came out later on Monday, May 18, 2021, to hastily address and move past the Brown debacle.
“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.”
When host Rachel Nichols tried to elaborate on what Brown’s beef was, Barnes quickly ended the conversation.
“I don’t even recall Rachel to be honest with you. So good luck bro.”

“All the Smoke” co-host Stephen Jackson, 43, also used his IG page to basically alert the public they won’t be broaching the Brown subject anymore.
