Charles Barkley expressed his lack of concern about spending NBA All-Star weekend in Indiana. Media members have been complaining about having to cover the event in Indianapolis for the past week. However, Barkley had no problem with it. He even suggested that only certain cities, such as Los Angeles, Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, New Orleans, and Atlanta, should be allowed to host the All-Star game in the future. In a tweet, Krysten Peek shared Barkley’s sentiment and asked who would disagree with this idea.
During a broadcast on Saturday, Draymond Green, a star player for the Golden State Warriors, urged the NBA not to return to Indiana for the All-Star game. In response, Barkley criticized the city of San Francisco. He argued that being in the cold weather of Indiana is better than being in San Francisco, where he claimed there are a lot of homeless criminals. Green disagreed with Barkley’s assessment, saying that it is possible to walk around in San Francisco. However, Barkley stood by his statement, suggesting that one would need a bulletproof vest and security to do so.
This is not the first time Barkley has spoken negatively about San Francisco. Last year, he made critical remarks about the city’s cleanliness during an NBA broadcast. He commented on the rain in other places, saying that it would be beneficial for San Francisco’s dirty streets.
