Charles Barkley To Miami Heat: Dude, Nobody Cares About Y’all

Ahead of tonight’s Heat/Lakers tilt on TNT, Charles Barkley appeared on Pardon the Interruption this afternoon for the show’s “Five Good Minutes” segment. And he had a message for the Miami Heat: America doesn’t care.

This is only partly true, of course. Most of the country probably wouldn’t care about the Heat under normal circumstances, but since they’re force-fed stories about Miami on a daily basis (we’re guilty of perpetuating this cycle too, mind you), they’re tricked into caring.

Still, Barkley’s advice to the Heat was clear: get over yourself, dude.
