    Charles Barkley rips Heat, fans

    Barkley On Finals


    Charles Barkley lobbed another verbal salvo on Wednesday in his war of words with the Miami Heat and their fans.

    When asked if Miami is the worst professional sports town, Barkley, who reiterated his admiration of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, said: "Yeah they have the worst fans. No question. It's not even loud in there. You're at the game and you are like, 'Man this place isn't even loud.' At least when you go to Chicago, it's loud in there, it's crazy down in Dallas but it's not even loud in Miami."

    When the Heat were playing the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals, Barkley said he liked James and Wade personally, but he called the Heat a "whiny bunch." He didn't back off that charge on Wednesday when he was a guest on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000.

    "Listen, if the Miami Heat were playing the Washington Generals I would pick the Washington Generals," Barkley said with a chuckle. "It's something about that team that annoys me.

    "They just a whiny bunch and I can't root for them."

    Heat fans let Barkley know they weren't happy with his criticism. In fact, TNT moved its set for pregame shows during coverage of the conference finals from outside American Airlines Arena to inside because of negative interaction between Barkley and fans.

    The NBA Finals between the Heat and Dallas Mavericks is being carried on ABC

    I thought Jazz had the worst fans. I don't think the Heat were relevant long enough in recent times for us to know how good/bad their fans are.

    Most of them are bandwagoners anyways so... not really fans.

    We'll have to excuse the fans; the vast majority of them have only had one season to learn about basketball and sporting events.

    Zing!

    funny how when chuck rips the heat he "speaks truth" but when he talks about the rockets everyone hates him and says he knows nothing.

    In another thread about how one'd feel about the Rockets getting Lebron, basically this was my main peeve. That the real fans will drown in the pool of star nuthuggers. Even more so when it comes to those who fan afford playoff tickets.

    I'm sure there are plenty of "true" Miami Heat fans. Ones who remember the beginning with Sikely and then Glen Rice, then rivalry with the Knicks, Wade during the pre-Lebron era, etc. But these fans probably don't matter anymore.

    I guess Charles is "telling the truth" when he says the Rockets wouldn't have won a championship if Jordan hadn't left too huh??

    This guy is a whiny loser. Why didn't this guy say this while he was in Miami?? He sounds like a b**** constantly compalining about the Heat

    The "truth teller" got punked by Dream twice

    Dude is a big-ass-no-ring-having-pu**y

    Lol I remember when the Heat fans were continually chanting "**** you Chuck" over and over before he flipped them off.

    Heat fans have zero class. Chuck has good reason to rip them.

    Every team has some classless fans somewhere in their fanbase.

    When they pushed the season ticket prices up for lebron and co, they were always bound to get a different calibre of fan, not to mention fair weather galore.

    And Mark Cuban is about the only rich guy in America who jumps up and down like a crazy man :p
