Late last season and into the playoffs, Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles Barkley insisted the Golden State Warriors couldn't win the title.
"I don't like jump-shooting teams," he said in January. "I don't think you can win the championship beating good teams shooting jumpers."
He wasn't the only person to make that assertion -- seriously, how's it goink? -- but he was the only famous analyst whose network carried the Warriors' 2015-16 season opener and championship celebration Tuesday night.
So the Warriors got him.
