Fans rip Charles Barkley apart after he dropped a controversial opinion on Kyrie Irving. The Dallas Mavericks guard has had a brilliant postseason, anchoring the Mavs deep into the playoffs alongside Luka Doncic. While he received heaps of praise and fandom, the 32-year-old was entangled in a lot of controversy a few years ago. It was all because of his political stance and his belief against the vaccination. And, tonight, Barkley dug out all those things, only to get trashed by fans.
Ahead of the tip-off, Chuck said, “He self-inflicted himself. He gotta take some responsibility. I think he is grown up. I think he is matured. Stephen A. and other people criticized him. He rightly deserved it. You can’t go out there be anti-Semitic… He deserved the criticism he got, he deserved the suspension he got, but a basketball player, I think ge is really grown up,” sitting alongside the Inside Guys crew.
In response, fans unleashed their wrath online, here are some comments from fans.
