Charles Barkley has no issues with hanging out in Indiana this week.
For the past week, media members have groaned about having to cover NBA All-Star weekend in Indianapolis.
The only cities allowed to host All-Star moving forward are Los Angeles, Phoenix, Miami, Orlando, New Orleans and Atlanta. Who says no??! pic.twitter.com/EkloZgovsB

During Saturday’s broadcast, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green pleaded with the NBA not to come back to Indiana for the All-Star game, and Barkley fired back by trashing the city of San Francisco.
Charles Barkley: “If you had the chance in being cold or in front of a bunch of homeless crooks in San Francisco…you can’t even walk around down there.
Draymond Green: “Yeah, you can”
Barkley:” Yeah, with a bulletproof vest and security.”
Charles Barkley again bashed San Francisco, this time around talk of the cold in Indianapolis. "If you had the chance between being cold or being around a bunch of homeless crooks in San Francisco, which would you take?" pic.twitter.com/o0W9aUQCyI

This isn’t the first time Barkley has trashed San Francisco, last year Barkley also made critical remarks about the city’s cleanliness during an NBA broadcast.
"The only bad thing about all this rain? It's not raining in San Francisco to clean up those dirty ass streets they got there."
