Charles Barkley drops ‘b-word’ roasting San Antonio women to their faces
NBA Hall of Famer and analyst Charles Barkley has always trolled the women of San Antonio on any occasion he can.

Charles Barkley has always trolled the women of San Antonio
Ever since Charles Barkley became an analyst on TNT’s Inside the NBA, he has delivered basketball analysis with a sprinkle of humor. His humor has played a major part in building a chemistry amongst the crew which have helped them win numerous Emmy awards.
He usually goes at both his former NBA star colleagues in Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal. They face the first round of his jabs, and either they retaliate with trolls of their own or divert it into something else. They are friends off the set, which makes the banter look seamless.
Another area Charles Barkley usually visits is on the topic of the women of San Antonio. He created this troll where he always body shames the San Antonio women. But references to that have reduced over time, apparently TNT did not want him to continue down that path.
Nowadays he does not bring them up that often while on Inside the NBA. Rather, subtly refers to them but more than what is warranted. That was about to change when he and CBS Sports’ NCAA March Madness crew landed in San Antonio for the college basketball finale.
Listen, San Antonio is a great city. I love Gregg Popovich and the Spurs. San Antonio, y’all put on a major great show. Thank you, and yes y’all got some big b****es here.

The Round Mound of Rebound said this to a packed audience at Capitol One’s Jam Fest. He was already hearing boos from some early on. But he cleverly started off by praising them. After talking about the San Antonio Spurs and the work they have put in to host the NCAA national championship, he ended up trolling them.
Charles Barkley’s tryst with San Antonio women
Charles Barkley’s tryst with the women of San Antonio started decades ago. He would bring them up whenever he wanted a good laugh. Those jokes have seen Shaquille O’Neal, and the crew lose it on several occasions.
He has trolled them for not being able to wear Victorias Secret. Sometimes he does not even leave the men, once telling host Ernie Johnson that any survey involving San Antonio should be counted twice, owing to their struggles with weight.
Barkley then joked about how the women of San Antonio have been hooked on to churros. He sent O’Neal and another former player Baron Davis into splits when he revealed he eventually ate churros to know how they were.
The 62-year-old once also used churros to troll them before flying down to San Antonio. This just show how he has often referred to this joke over the years. TNT might have subdued him, but this latest blitz makes it clear that he will not stop.
Charles Barkley and crew to return to NBA duty
As part of their contracts with TNT, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson have to cover the NCAA March Madness as well as the tournament. During this time, Shaquille O’Neal holds the fort down for NBA duties along with Candace Parker, Vince Carter and Adam Lefkoe.
Now that the tournament is over, Barkley and the March Madness crew will return to cover the NBA. The NBA has some playoff influencing games lined up on Thursday. It is unknown if the trio will cover those games with this little time off.
But nine out of the top ten teams in the Western Conference will be battling for playoff positions. This should bring out some electric matchups. If this interests them, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson could return to Inside the NBA this Thursday.
