NBA Legend Charles Barkley Makes Blunt Golden State Warriors Statement

Chuck Says Warriors Dynasty is Over

NBA legend Charles Barkley believes that the Golden State Warriors' dynasty is over. Barkley made the comments on the latest episode of "Inside the NBA" on TNT. "I think the Warriors' dynasty is over," Barkley said. "They're not the same team they were a few years ago. They've lost some key players, and they're not as young as they used to be."

The Warriors have won three NBA championships in the past four years including a 4-0 sweep over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2018 NBA Finals. However, they lost Kevin Durant to the Brooklyn Nets in free agency this summer, and they also traded Andre Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies.

Barkley: Warriors Need to Make Changes

Barkley believes that the Warriors need to make some changes if they want to remain competitive. "They need to get younger," Barkley said. "They need to get some more athleticism. They need to get some more toughness. They're not the same team they were a few years ago."

The Warriors have a number of young players on their roster, including 2019 No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman, 2020 No. 2 overall pick Anthony Edwards, and 2021 No. 7 overall pick Moses Moody. However, it remains to be seen if these players can step up and fill the void left by Durant and Iguodala.

The Warriors will open the 2021-22 season on October 19 against the Los Angeles Lakers. It will be interesting to see if Barkley's prediction comes true, or if the Warriors can prove that they are still a force to be reckoned with.
