Charles Barkley never pulls any punches when it comes to what he thinks of San Francisco and its inhabitants.
The NBA legend and TNT basketball host and analyst likely won’t be planning any vacations to the city anytime soon.
Barkley was speaking with polarizing Warriors forward Draymond Green and ex-Pacers star Reggie Miller, now an NBA analyst as well, on TNT’s alternate broadcast during the NBA All-Star game Sunday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indiana.
During the broadcast, Green said, “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.”

It’s certainly not the first time Barkley has criticized San Francisco.
There was a rare rain delay during Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and Mavericks in 2022, where the roof at the American Airlines Center in Dallas began leaking.
Barkley used the opportunity to lament that it was not raining in San Francisco, which he believed needed it.

The Eastern Conference All-Stars beat the West 211-186, and Damian Lillard was named the game’s MVP.
