We know him as King James, but Charles Barkley sees him more as a queen.

LeBron James was named an NBA All-Star for the 14th time in his career on Thursday. He'll be the Captain for the East team next month, despite not winning the player vote from his peers.

According to Barkley, NBA players didn't vote for James because he's a "drama queen."

Barkley made the remarks Thursday night on TNT's "Inside the NBA."

Shaq disagreed with Barkley, noting that players' votes should consider the best player on the court, not personality.

"This is basketball, it's got nothing to do with personalities," Shaq said.

But Barkley pressed on.

"He's passive aggressive. He's got a passive aggressive personality," Barkley added.
