"I said a few years ago that I thought he was the best two-way guard in the NBA. But because of age and injuries, he's not the same player. I didn't say he was a bum. I'm saying he's not the same player." 「我很失望Ｋ湯把我的評論當作是針對他。我幾年前就說過，我認為他是聯盟裡最棒的 攻守俱佳的後衛。但是因為年紀以及受傷的關係，他已經不是一樣的Ｋ湯了。我沒說他 爛，我只是說他不是一樣的Ｋ湯了。」 At that point, host Ernie Johnson asked Barkley if he expected Thompson to be the same player. 這時候，主持人Ernie Johnson問老巴他是否預期Ｋ湯可以恢復以前的身手呢？ "No, but I was talking about what I've been seeing, going back to the Finals," Barkley said. "When I went back to the Finals last year, he's ... he said give him time. No, when you get older, time ain't your friend. I love Klay and that's what bothered me. I love that kid. I love everything about him. Like I said, I used to say this guy is the best two-way guard in the NBA but because of age and injury, he's not the same guy. I wasn't worth a damn my last two years in the NBA." 「不會，但是我是講從去年總冠軍到現在一路看下來的狀況的。當我看到去年總冠軍 賽...他說給他時間。不，當你開始變老了，時間就不再是你的朋友。我愛Ｋ湯，但是那 真的困擾我。我愛他，我愛他的一切，但是如我之前所說的，我以前說過Ｋ湯是聯盟裡 攻防最佳的後衛，但是因為年紀以及傷勢，他不再是以前的Ｋ湯。當我在聯盟打球的最 後兩年，我簡直連屁都不是。」 Fellow analyst Kenny Smith came to Thompson's defense and tried to interpret what the five-time NBA All-Star was saying when he ended a recent press conference by admitting he was hurt by Barkley's comments and asked for time to get back to who he was. 另外一位球評Kenny Smith為Ｋ湯緩頰。Ｋ湯最近在記者會上說他對於老巴的評論覺得 受傷，希望大家給他時間恢復。 "This is what he's saying. I understand what you said," Smith said. "But to me, you're kind of putting it here in the present. What he's saying is that he's on an upward trajectory and he needs time to get to that point to plateau where he is. So you're judging him off of today and not judging him off where he feels he's going to be." Smith：「那就是他說的，我也了解你的意思。但是對我來說，你比較像是就是只看現 在；但是Ｋ湯說的是他正在逐漸恢復中，他需要點時間恢復到像以前的他。你只批評 他現在的樣子，但是忽略了Ｋ湯說他將會恢復到的狀況。」 Later in the four-minute conversation, Shaquille O'Neal also tried to protect Thompson. 接下來的對話，Shaq試著要幫Ｋ湯講話： "I think a lot of guys, for what he's done and how he's done it, would have loved a little more respect," Shaq said. 「我認為，就Ｋ湯的表現以及他表現的方式，聯盟裡很多人會想要給Ｋ湯更多尊重。」 "Shaq, we've got to do our jobs," Barkley said in response. 老巴：「Shaq，我們都有工作要做的。」 "I'm just saying what I think," Shaq said. "I think he would have liked a little more respect. And like he said, give him a little time to get back and then if I don't get back by playoff time, then you probably can make that comment. But the season just started... " Shaq：「我只是說出我的想法。我認為他會想要多一點尊重的。就如同Ｋ湯之前說的， 給他一點時間恢復；若到季後賽時還沒有恢復的話，你就可以對Ｋ湯做那樣的批評。但 是現在球季才剛開始欸~~」 "Guys who have those two serious injuries, he's just going to get older.," Barkley said. "When I say he was the best two-way guard in the NBA, those days are over. He can still be a heck of an NBA player, and Ernie, we all get old, ain't nothing wrong with that, but you factor in those two injuries, that's the only point I was trying to make." 老巴：「有過這兩種大傷的球員只會變老。Ｋ湯是聯盟攻守最佳的後衛的時光已經結束 了，他還是一位很好的球員，但是，我們大家都會老，這並不是什麼錯事，但是當把這 兩個大傷考慮進去後，這就是我下的結論。」 -- 老巴真的很愛Ｋ湯，不停加持 --
