At this point, Charles Barkley’s distaste for the Golden State Warriors’ brand of basketball is well-established. He’s been railing against the Dubs’ predilection toward bombing from beyond the arc for years, referring to them dismissively as “a jump-shooting team” since back when Mark Jackson was on the bench. He has continued to hold that line over the years, even after Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr and company won the 2015 NBA championship thanks in large part to all those jumpers Chuck hated.
Barkley doubled down on that stance this past summer after the Cleveland Cavaliers knocked off the Dubs in their 2016 Finals rematch, this time dinging Golden State — now featuring “cheater” Kevin Durant — for playing “little girly basketball” in a very sober, serious and restrained debate that took place at a nightclub inside a Lake Tahoe casino against Jerry Rice. Chuck liked that particular take so much that he brought back for a national audience during the pregame show before TNT’s Thursday night doubleheader, which will be capped by the Warriors taking on James Harden and the Houston Rockets:

He would have really hated the no contact game of the fifties and sixties.

I absolutely love Barkley even though I do not always agree with his thoughts. He may be 'off base' sometimes, but he is always looking to advance.
He is the only ex player on network TV who actually speaks his mind on just about any topic. To me, this is quite refreshing compared to ALL the other guys who only repeat stats over and over again or agree with what is said by others.
Shaq is not bad either because he does not "follow along" very much, Charles speaks up every time he disagrees.

Different strokes. In my opinion,both Barkley and Shaq dispense hot air like my car heater.
