Barkley didn’t think the Warriors were going to win the NBA title last year and he doesn’t think they are going to win the title this year.
Barkley is an entertaining guy, but his predictions have been off over the years so I would take this one with a grain of salt.
Here is what he had to say on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
“They have a terrific team. They’ve been great for the NBA,” Barkley told Colbert (around the 32-minute mark in the video). “I’m telling you right now: They’re not gonna win the championship this year.”
He didn’t say who would beat the Warriors, so it feels more like just something to say to go against the grain.
