There is no denying that Charles Barkley is an icon of the game. Chuck was known for his rebounding skills and despite not having any rings, he still established himself as a legend.
Moreover, he made a name for himself in the media industry. Barkley is one of the most well-known analysts currently and fans eagerly wait for him during ‘Inside the NBA’.
During an interview after the 2022 NBA finals, Chuck took shots at the Golden State Warriors players and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan. Barkley said, “I think a lot of the stuff is fabricated because it’s like, you know, I used to always hear that bogus stuff about Michael Jordan.”
This came after the hosts asked Chuck his thoughts regarding some of the celebrations by the Warriors players. Interestingly enough, Barkley has quite some history with the franchise and their fans.
During the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks, Chuck got into an altercation with the Dub Nation. Chuck originally picked the Mavericks to get the better of the Warriors and make the 2022 finals. However, he was proven wrong.
