For a week now, Inside the NBA analyst Charles Barkley has carried on a friendly feud with Warriors fans.
As Golden State’s romped its way through the Western Conference Finals against the Mavericks (+1.5), Barkley hasn’t let up on his side of the bargain. He got into it with Draymond Green in recent days and rode a horse before Game 3 in Dallas.
When the series shifted back to San Francisco for Game 5, Warriors fans did not take lightly to their new public frenemy. Before the Inside the NBA broadcast could really get into the night’s proceedings, they hilariously chanted, in unison, about how Barkley sucks:
The "Chuck you suck" chants are back and @SHAQ is loving it 😅 pic.twitter.com/HKT1nGzirk

“Chuck, you suck. Chuck, you suck. Chuck, you suck.”
Unfortunately for Barkley, the Mavericks haven’t done much on-court to back him up. If it’s any consolation, he should remember that sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt.
