Charles Barkley consistently elicits reactions from the NBA players he opines on.

On Thursday, Barkley said he thought Zach LaVine deserved an All-Star starting nod over Trae Young, on account of the Bulls having the second-best record in the Eastern Conference while the Hawks (22-25) are in 12th.

Young was clearly watching the segment, and expressed his gratitude for being selected — while sneaking in a potshot at Barkley.

“Truly Blessed!! Thank you to the Fans. ALWAYS LOVE !! 2X!!” Young tweeted. “Chuck eat a Twinkie and be quiet sometimes,” he added, with laughing and peace emojis.

Barkley of course took the barb in stride.

“I like it,” he said, “You shouldn’t have started before Zach LaVine, though.”
