The Round Mound of Rebound wasn’t having it after Thursday evening’s Game 5 of the Wester Conference Finals.
During TNT’s “Inside the NBA” post-game protection outdoors the Chase Center in San Francisco following the Golden State Warriors 120-110 defeat of the Dallas Mavericks, folks within the crowd started throwing t-shirts and different detritus at analyst and Hall of Famer Charles Barkley.
Video of the incident begins with a pan over the group, together with one holding an indication studying “Chuck You Suck,” earlier than a shot of Barkley, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O’Neal and Ernie Johnson, reveals a desk with a number of yellow shirts piled close to Barkley.
“Hey,” Johnson says to the group.
“Yo, they throwing stuff up here,” Smith says as one other shirt sails onto the desk.
Barkley spins in his chair and rushes to the fence separating the printed crew from the group and winds as much as throw his microphone earlier than pulling again.
“Hey, Chuck,” Johnson says. “Chuck, sit down, man.”
Barkley turns and steps again towards the desk earlier than faking one other mic throw and pointing on the crowd.
Johnson and Smith each implore Barkley to take a seat again down as O’Neal smiles to somebody off digital camera and turns again to see what is going on.
After one final fake-out together with his microphone, Barkley sits again down.
“We will be back,” Johnson says.
The seemingly trigger for the Golden State devoted’s ire in opposition to him? Barkley picked the Mavericks to win the sequence practically two weeks in the past.
Luckily, Barkley saved his cool and an unpleasant scene didn’t get any uglier. Anything much less could be uncivilized.
