What’s Behind Charles Barkley’s Odd Obsession With Ripping The Warriors?

Tweet

Charles Barkley appeared on Stephen Colbert on Monday night and ripped the Golden State Warriors once again — the latest in his campaign against a new brand of basketball that seems to be leaving him behind. Barkley, to Colbert:

“They have a terrific team. They’ve been great for the NBA. I’m telling you right now. They’re not gonna win the championship this year.”

Of course Barkley said the same thing last year, both at the beginning of the playoffs and again just before the finals. The Warriors of course beat the Cavaliers 4 games to 2, and Barkley admitted he was wrong, although qualifying it by saying the Warriors “got lucky” due to Cleveland injuries.
