Charles Barkley is not a fan of the NBA All-Star weekend in San Francisco, California. Last year, Barkley went viral when he absolutely trashed San Francisco for being dirty during a televised game.
“You know the bad thing about all this rain: It’s not raining in San Francisco to cleanup those dirty a– streets they got out there.”
“San Francisco, it’s a great city but all that dirtiness and homelessness, yall gotta clean that out the streets…San Francisco need a good washing.”
Ahead of the upcoming NBA All-Star game, Barkley vowed not to go to San Francisco because it’s a “rat-infested’ city.
“San Francisco is not a beautiful city!” Barkley pushed back. “Rats. Cats…Y’all are not gonna make me like San Francisco. No. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
“I’m not going. I’m not going to that rat-infested place out in San Francisco.”

It’s clear that Barkley is joking but the NBA can’t be happy with one of their top broadcasters trashing the All-Star game host city.
