The Golden State Warriors fanbase and Charles Barkley share a relationship of mutual hatred. Barkley has been vocal about his opinions of Warriors fans. Although Chuck is a fan of the splash brothers, Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry, his love for Dub Nation is non-existent. The Golden State Warriors played in Oakland for 47 years. They were a team that resided in the Bay Area. In the 2019-20 season, the Golden State Warriors shifted back to their roots in San Francisco.
Charles Barkley believes that the fans from Oakland really make the fanbase. He is not a promoter of the new fans that have arrived with the shift from Oracle Arena to Chase Center. Charles Barkley was covering the NBA Finals and the Western Conference Finals that featured the Warriors last season. He got into several feuds with Warriors fans that stood behind him.
Recently, Charles Barkley took part in a celebrity golf tournament. The American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament is one that occurs every post-season. In the last edition of this tournament, Barkley took the 76th spot out of a possible 87. According to Caesars Sportsbook, odds are on Barkley to finish in the top 70 of the 87. He plans to beat his best score of 76 in this year’s tournament.

Curry launched the first of the trading blows between the two NBA greats. When a reporter inquired about his thoughts on Barkley’s top 70 odds, he seized the chance to poke at Chuck.
Stephen Curry said,?“Hell no! Clip that, send it to him, let him play it on every TV box; there’s no way he’s doing it, so as much faith as Chuck has had in the Warriors and jump shooting teams winning championships, that’s the amount of faith I have in him you know hitting the top 70.”
