The final location for the 2025 NBA All-Star weekend is on the verge of confirmation. But before the decision is finalized, a little clip has resurfaced, reviving Charles Barkley’s beef with the potential host city of the 2025 event. The Inside the NBA?panelist’s comments were controversial, but he stood by pointing out a major issue. If the All-Star game is a done deal, Barkley might have to return to the place he has a very low opinion about with the TNT coverage.
The commentary has revived as the All-Star game venue is gaining more attention with the latest update. However, when Barkley put it across last year, it was harsher than fans could digest.

Charles Barkley’s beef with the Warriors
The Round Mound of Rebound?owns his opinions with panache. He’s complained about the heat in Arizona where he has resided since 1992. He’s also picked on his alma mater’s rival fans for criticizing his favorite football coach. But his animosity with San Francisco and Dub Nation goes way back.
Barkley has long since dismissed any championship hopes for the Warriors. He’s had mean back-and-forths with Warriors fans and often referred to the city as “hell”.
