The internet had no mercy on TNT analyst Charles Barkley after his somewhat insensitive comments regarding Boston Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas crying on the sidelines next to teammate Avery Bradley prior to the game.
Thomas lost his younger sister Chyna in a one-car crash early Saturday morning, dying at the scene of the accident, Interstate 5 of Federal Way in her native Washington.
The 5-foot-9 dynamo claimed he would play and did so, but Barkley claimed he felt “uncomfortable” watching him crying before the game — something Twitter didn't take too kindly.

Charles Barkley has no heart. You should be fired. A man lost his baby sister and you say you're "uncomfortable with him crying" stfu brat

That was a very senseless comment made by Charles Barkley. Losing anyone tragically is heartbreaking, no matter your profession. https://t.co/TIGnoMpLFt
