Charles Barkley jabs Galveston beach. We made him an alternate itinerary.

Charles Barkley spared no insult Saturday in his takedown of the New Orleans Pelicans after they fell into a 3–0 hole in their first-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. A fellow gulf-coast city caught quite the stray in the process of Barkley’s screed.

Barkley and Inside the NBA partner-in-crime Shaquille O’Neal joked the Pelicans would soon be starting their summer vacation given the series deficit, with Cancun standing as the travel spot du jour for the league’s players this time of year. But the pair of Hall of Famers don’t think Brandon Ingram and company deserve a glamorous trip to Mexico.
