Charles Barkley is one of the funniest members of Inside The NBA. That is a pretty hard title to get when you are also on the broadcast with Shaq. However, the two have amazing chemistry, and it leads to some phenomenal moments on the air. Although these two tend to fight at times, there is no doubt that they are secretly great friends. Without them, the TNT broadcasts would be a lot duller, so we thank them for their valuable service. We truly hope they never stop doing what they do best.
Yesterday, Chuck and Shaq, as well as EJ and Kenny Smith were at the NBA All-Star Game in Utah. Overall, it was a fairly standard All-Star Game as no defense was played. However, there was a new addition to the broadcast crew in the form of Draymond Green. In the past, Green and Barkley have traded shots, so you can imagine what kind of energy was brought to the broadcast last night. Down below, you can find perhaps the realest clip from the broadcast in which Barkley goes off on Draymond and the Warriors.

“Y’all are cooked now… ya’ll are done… I’m telling you, y’all are done.”- Charles Barkley

“The Golden State Warriors are cooked,” Barkley said matter-of-factly. This then led to a strong response from Green, who said “That’s crazy. You said that last year, but we all know you don’t know what you’re talking about.” Despite all of this, Barkley did not care for the response as he completely doubled down. “Y’all are cooked now… ya’ll are done… I’m telling you, y’all are done,” Chuck replied. Overall, it is hard to disagree with Barkley when you consider how Steph Curry is injured right now. At this point, the Warriors do not have much of a chance to advance this year.
Either way, Warriors fans are still going to hang on to their dynasty, and rightfully so. They won four NBA titles in the span of eight years, which is definitely impressive. However, it seems like better teams are starting to take over in the Western Conference. For many fans around the league who do not care for the Warriors, this is great news. Let us know what you thought of Barkley’s remarks, in the comments down below.
