Matt Barnes Doesn't Count His 2017 Warriors Championship Ring: 'Got a Free Ride'

Matt Barnes said he considers the 2017 NBA championship he won with the Golden State Warriors a "free ride" because of his small role on the star-studded team.

Barnes, who originally made the comment last Thursday on his All The Smoke podcast with Stephen Jackson, elaborated on his stance Wednesday on ESPN's Get Up:

The 40-year-old UCLA product played for nine organizations during his journeyman 14-year NBA career, which ended with the Warriors championship in 2017. It was his only title.
