Charles Barkley is known for his straightforward opinions, and his sentiments towards San Francisco and its residents are no exception. The NBA legend and TNT basketball host doesn’t seem inclined to plan any vacations to the city shortly.
Barkley was engaged in conversation with Warriors forward Draymond Green and former Pacers star Reggie Miller, both now NBA analysts, during TNT’s alternate broadcast for the NBA All-Star game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indiana.
Green expressed, “Hey Reggie, we love you, let’s not have another All-Star [game] in Indiana. Let’s let this be the last one, my friend.”
That’s when Barkley jumped in and directed his comments towards the city where Draymond Green plays.
“Hey Reggie,” Barkley said. “If you had a chance of being in the cold, or being around a bunch of homeless crooks in San Francisco, which would you take?”
“You can’t even walk around down there,” Barkley added.
