Charles Barkley: Miami Heat ‘Have The Worst Fans’

Charles Barkley and fans of the Miami Heat already have what can be described as a tenuous relationship.

That situation isn’t likely to change now that Sir Charles has called Heat fans the worst in the NBA.

“Yeah they have the worst fans. No question. It’s not even loud in there. You’re at the game and you are like, ‘Man this place isn’t even loud.’ At least when you go to Chicago, it’s loud in there, it’s crazy down in Dallas but it’s not even loud in Miami.”

Lest you think Barkley’s disdain is strictly for fans of the team, fear not. He’s bothered by the actual team as well:

“They just a whiny bunch and I can’t root for them.”
