Basketball great, Charles Barkley was trash talking presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney during Sunday's playoff game.

Romney and his wife Ann were at the game between the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks when Barkley took his shot.  

"We're going to beat you like a drum in November. Don't take it personally. You seem like a nice guy. But you're going down, bro," said Barkley.

Now, Barkley's crack are stirring controversy.

"Totally inappropriate. Using the network to endorse Obama at a big game. The channel and Barkley owe Romney an apology," wrote one commenter.

While another agreed with Barkley writing: "President Barack Obama is soooooooo gonna win in November."
