Charles Barkley calls San Francisco ‘bunch of homeless crooks;’ Here’s his top jabs of night

Charles Barkley, in true form, didn’t hold back on Sunday night during TruTV “alt-cast” of the NBA All-Star Game, going after the city of San Francisco.

The former Auburn star and NBA analyst asked Reggie Miller: “If you had the chance between being cold or being around a bunch of homeless crooks in San Francisco, which would you take?”

Barkley added you needed a bullet proof vest to walk around the city.

It isn’t the first time he has taken aim at the Bay Area.

Back in 2022, Barkley referred to the city as a “hellhole.”

“You know what the bad thing is about all this rain? It’s not raining in San Francisco to clean up those dirty-ass streets they got there,” Barkley said then.

Barkley’s latest comments came Sunday as Damian Lillard added a new title in his first All-Star Game appearance with the Eastern Conference — MVP.

The Milwaukee Bucks guard finished with 39 points, 11 3-pointers, six assists, three rebounds and one steal in a record-breaking 211-186 win over the West.

Lillard was 14 of 26 from the field and 11 of 23 on 3s for a team that broke All-Star Game marks for total points and 3s with 42. Eight players scored in double figures with three — Lillard, Boston guard Jaylen Brown and Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton all topping 30 points. Karl Anthony-Towns of Minnesota also had 50 points for the West.

The honor comes one day after Lillard won his second straight 3-point contest. He won last year’s honor while playing for the Portland Trail Blazers.

San Francisco wasn’t the only target Barkley aimed for.
