Charles Barkley does not believe the Golden State Warriors have a chance to win the NBA Finals this year. The 60-year-old told Draymond Green that his team is “cooked” during this weekend’s NBA All-Star Game.
The Warriors forward joined the TNT commentary booth on Sunday (Feb. 19) and was in the middle of discussing how many teams are viable options for making the finals. The two-time Hall-Of-Famer interrupted the four-time All-Star and had some words for his team. “I hate to say it but the Golden State Warriors are cooked,” Chuck said.
“That’s crazy,” Green replied. “You said that last year but we all know you don’t know what you’re talking about.” Barkley denied that he counted the Warriors, who notably went on to win the 2022 NBA Finals, out last season before Green added that the former Phoenix Suns forward had counted them out every year since he joined the NBA.
“Y’all are cooked now. Y’all are done,” the Inside The NBA analyst continued. Like most people who get into arguments with Barkley, Draymond reminded him that he’s never won a ring period. “That still leaves us four ahead of you, boss,” Green joked.
Charles Barkley isn’t wrong in his assessment. The Golden State Warriors played 58 games leading into the All-Star Break and currently hold a 29-29 record making them the 9th seed in the Western Conference.
Injuries have plagued the defending NBA Champions and, although they still have their core set of superstars who helped them win four championships in the last eight years, an improved Western Conference will make it difficult for them to return to the NBA Finals, especially if they have to earn their way into the playoffs via the play-in tournament.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does NBA mean by waived?
A team can officially release a player from their roster if they have "waived". You can do this for a variety of reasons, such as salary cap reasons or personal issues. The player becomes an unrestricted, free agent after being waived. They can then sign with any other league team. If the player was not waived by March 1st, the previous season, they will not be eligible to play in this year's postseason.
Who made the first basket for the NBA?
Ossie Schectman, an American professional basketball player, scored the first basket in the Basketball Association of America. This was later to become the National Basketball Association. The first basket was scored by Ossie Schectman on November 1, 1946 in a game between New York Knickerbockers (Toronto Huskies) and New York Knickerbockers (New York Knickerbockers). Schectman's historic debut basket opened the BAA's first season.
Which NBA player has made the most blocked shots during a single season
Mark Eaton held the all-time block records of 456 and blocks per match (5.56) during 1984-1985. Eaton's total in that season was the highest single-season NBA number.
Hakeem Olajuwon holds the NBA Record for Most Career Blocks with 3,830. Olajuwon had an average of 21.8 points and 11.1 boards over his 18-year playing career, which included 1,238 games. He also had 2.5 assists and 3.1 block per game.
Which NBA star is the best scorer right now?
The answer to this question is subjective, as different players have different styles of play that make them unique and successful. Kevin Durant and LeBron James are some of the most popular options for NBA's top scorer.
Kevin Durant is not just a shooting star, he's an all-around offensive machine! This player is no joke, with 2 NBA Championships and 2 Finals MVPs to his credit and a regular-season MVP title.
