Charles Barkley once famously proclaimed that he wasn't a role model. His (self-aware) reasoning? He had, and still has, a propensity for instigating conflict, as he showed Wednesday before Game 1 of the Golden State Warriors’ Western Conference Finals series against the Dallas Mavericks.
With the “Inside the NBA” crew positioned outside of Chase Center, Barkley stood up and stared down a sea of Warriors fans. Sporting a big smile, he put his hand to his mouth and let out the following announcement: “LET’S GO MAVS!”
The crowd, unsurprisingly, immediately started booing the former Round Mound of Rebound.
