TNT commentator draws wrath of Heat fans for calling players a "whiny bunch."
Charles Barkley It wasn't long ago when Cleveland sports fans were not fond of Charles Barkley.
During the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff run when LeBron James was here, Barkley spoke his mind about the Cavaliers and James.
Fans didn't like it, and they booed Sir Charles when he was spotted at The Q.
But that changed when LeBron took his talents to South Beach. Barkley called out LeBron, Dwyane Wade and Bosh. Now Barkley is loved in Cleveland.
So now Miami has taken Cleveland's place. Heat fans are not happy with Barkley because he picked the Chicago Bulls to defeat the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Dan Le Batard of The Miami Herald writes:
The night before, Miami Heat fans surrounded his outdoor set and pelted him with loud and vulgar chants. Barkley scratched his bald head with only his middle finger. Someone threw a rolled-up T-shirt at him. Barkley’s network will move its show indoors to avoid any of this before Game 4 on Tuesday night. Everything around this team is so loud, so lopsided, so disproportionate. Heat president Pat Riley politely reprimanded Barkley in Chicago for calling Heat players a “whiny bunch.” Dwyane Wade, who stars in TV commercials with Barkley, has said he won’t be talking about Barkley’s opinion any more this postseason.
