Former Rocket Charles Barkley is on the cover and featured in the new Sports Illustrated, and he is very candid about a number of topics. He also specifically cites both Cuttino Mobley and Steve Francis as examples of what is wrong with today's young players. Said Barkley, "During my last couple of years in Houston, I tried to lead some of the young guys. But they just looked at me like I was an old man in the way. Players like Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley didn't want to listen to me. I guess they figured, 'Hey, we're better players at this stage than he was.'" Barkley added it's more of a reflection of today's society. "Kids don't look at their parents the way they used to. It's not just in the NBA. It's a society problem. When Doctor J., Moses Malone and Bobby Jones spoke to me, it was gospel."
