Charles Barkley has been the star of this year’s Final Four.
He watched as Auburn made a historic run to the Final Four, gave the team an inspirational locker-room speech and agonized over the Tigers’ gut-wrenching loss.
Oh, and he got booed off stage at a Katy Perry concert.
Barkley, who has been in thousands of Capital One commercials during NCAA tournament broadcasts, made a guest appearance at the Capital One JamFest in Minneapolis on Sunday. He spoke to the crowd, said how much he loved Minneapolis and then insulted that same city’s NBA team. Look how quickly the concertgoers turned on Barkley.
He said:
“I want to thank Minneapolis, Minnesota. You guys have a great, great city. I want to thank y’all for a great weekend. I haven’t been here for a long time because the Timberwolves suck!”
Well, to be fair to Barkley, the Timberwolves have been the NBA’s most talented mess since Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins teamed up in 2015.
He looked surprise by the boos, honestly. Barkley probably expected the crowd to nod in agreement because, well, the Timberwolves are bad.
At least Chuck seems to be moving past the Auburn loss.
