Hassan Whiteside calls out Charles Barkley for saying he's not an All-Star

Published Jan. 22, 2016 3:09 p.m. ET

The Inside the NBA crew announced the All-Star Game starting lineups on TNT on Thursday night, and naturally followed with a conversation about who got snubbed. Among those discussed was Heat center Hassan Whiteside.

Whiteside is averaging 12.3 points, 11.2 rebounds and a league-leading 3.9 blocks per game, but that wasn't enough for TNT analyst Charles Barkley, who didn't believe Whiteside deserved to make the game.

Apparently, Whiteside didn't agree. Here's the Instagram he posted:

How about that caption?

When Chuck says you don't rebound enough but you top 5 rebounders in the NBA in less than 30 mins #FACTS

Whiteside is no stranger to showing some personality on social media. This time -- when he expressed his disagreement with a meme of Lakers guard Nick Young, one well-known inside the basketball Twitter world -- was hardly a surprise.
