Charles Barkley, Basketball Hall of Famer, said he will stop gambling, at least for now, less than a week after acknowledging he owed a $400,000 debt to a Las Vegas Strip casino.

“I like to go into Vegas, it’s a fun place, but you know what, I’ve got to stop gambling. That’s the bottom line,” Barkley said. “I am not going to gamble anymore. For right now, the next year or two, I’m not going to gamble.”

“I have no, no money problems whatsoever. Nobody’s coming after me for money,” he said. “I screwed up and didn’t pay them in a significant amount of time. Could they have handled it differently? Yes. But it was my fault.”

“Just because I can afford to lose money doesn’t mean I should do it,” he said.

Gloria James, Lebron James mother, got into the action again with a little more than four minutes remaining in the first half of the Cavaliers vs Celtics.

James went to the basket and was fouled hard by Paul Pierce. Both players stumbled into the crowd near Gloria James’s seat. Gloria James shouted at Pierce as Garnett stepped in front of her to play peacemaker.

“Sit your [xxxxx] down,” he screamed. Said James after the game, “I used some language I shouldn’t have. I’m glad it wasn’t Mother’s Day.”
