‘Nobody Came to See Your A** Play’: Charles Barkley Furiously Reacts as Official Calls Technical Foul on Anthony Edwards
Barkley criticizes 'ridiculous' technical call on Edwards for staring in Game 1, as Wolves secure victory and maintain perfect postseason record.
In a fiery post-game reaction, former NBA star and current analyst Charles Barkley unleashed a scathing critique against the official's decision to assess a technical foul on Anthony Edwards.
Following Edwards' layup during Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinal series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Denver Nuggets, Edwards gave Reggie Jackson an intense stare, prompting the official to call a technical foul for what was perceived as taunting.
Barkley, known for his unfiltered commentary, lambasted the official's call on TNT's Inside the NBA, adamantly said, “Hey Mr. Official, nobody came to see your a** play. Stop giving taunting technicals in the game. Nobody came to see you. You give a kid a warning, you don’t call no taunting technicals in the playoffs. Don’t do that … for staring.”
Despite the controversial call and ensuing backlash, Edwards remained composed and dominated on the court, finishing with an impressive 43 points—setting a playoff career-high—as the Timberwolves triumphed over the Nuggets 106-99 in Game 1.
