CHICAGO (CBS) During TNT’s postgame broadcast after the Chicago Bulls 96-85 Game 3 loss to the Miami Heat, Charles Barkley became the focus of intense jeering and taunting by fans outside AmericanAirlines Arena.

Earlier in this series, Barkley referred to the Heat as a “whiny bunch,” and after a taking a 2-1 series lead, Heat fans were more than happy to hurl some insults back at Barkley.

According to a report by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Barkley and the rest of the crew will be inside for Game 4.

“We appreciate the tremendous enthusiasm of the fans and all that they bring to our live coverage,” Jeff Behnke, Turner Sports senior vice president and executive producer, told the newspaper in a statement. “As we continue with our coverage of the Eastern Conference Finals, we are evaluating the best options for presenting our studio show live from Miami.”

Barkley is just jealous of LeBron, Bosch and Wade because they are making more money than he did. Barkley can dish it out but can’t take it

They may end up being a “whiny” bunch with a title at the end of the season . Besides Barkley was on a team with Hakeem, Drexler and Pippen . If he could have gotten his big butt back out to defend Stockton from hitting a three , they may have won the championship that year , so not sure why he has such a problem with what Miami has done .

Charles Barkley….. the man with a DUI and asked to be traded to get a ring……….. why do we listen to him….. its Miami fans are not mad about what he said about the team, or that he picked chicago for the series…. its that they watch him and he is so biased it is just unpleasant to watch….. why do we listen to this loser?
