NBA legend Charles Barkley is at it again with his predictions about the upcoming playoffs and who will come out on top. Barkley, apart from his controversial takes and statements, is also known to jump the gun and make some baffling “guarantees“. These predictions usually don?t work out in his favor. And his latest guarantee made while on live television may not sit well with either LeBron James or Stephen Curry.

Barkley had recently been involved in a beef with Kevin Durant as both took shots at one another. The Philadelphia 76ers legend may now find himself at the receiving end of more backlash from the biggest names in the game. While he has made some absurd predictions in the past, this might perplex fans even more.

Barkley said, ?The Sacramento Kings are going to win a playoff series. Guaaarrraaanteeee. They’re going to be playing the Warriors or the Lakers. That?s a tough first-round series. They?re gonna win a series.?

This has been the first time since 2006 that the Sacramento Kings have been able to clinch a playoff spot. Now, as good as that is for Kings fans, Barkley?s comments may not sit well with LeBron James or Stephen Curry.

LeBron James and Stephen Curry got all the fire needed

Charles Barkley stated that the Sacramento Kings will win a playoff series and also predicted that they will play either the Los Angeles Lakers or the Golden State Warriors. According to Barkley?s predictions, the Kings will defeat either of the two teams in the first round. While many have predicted an easy win for either of the teams facing off against the Kings, Sacramento might have something special brewing. They are having a historic season offensively and other teams will find it tough to match their speed and athleticism.

However, both LeBron James and Stephen Curry have the ability to turn up the pace come playoff time. And Barkley?s “guarantee” may just ignite the fire needed for the two stars to kick it up a notch and take down the inexperienced Kings.?
