Just before tipoff of Game Seven of the Western Conference Finals, Charles Barkley made it clear: He still doesn't believe.

As they usually do, the Golden State Warriors went ahead and proved him wrong anyway....

During their title run last season, Barkley routinely dismissed the Warriors' chances, saying that a "jump shooting team" couldn't win it all. The negativity even has some Warriors fans reportedly challenging Sir Charles to bar fights in recent weeks....

True to form, Barkley initially blamed the Thunder for blowing the series, rather than crediting the Warriors.

1. They proved El Supremo wrong too

2. Barkley's Problem. . .

. . .is that he's ignoring that this is likely the best GROUP of shooters ever, led by arguably the best shooter ever.

The rules about jump shooting teams don't apply when a team shoots this well! His paradigm is teams shoot jumpers because they can't go inside or penetrate.

When a team can shoot this well, they don't need to do that. Just get open and shoot.

3. The Spurs thought they had Steph figured out earlier in the year

they sent guys way out past the arc to defend him.

So he went past them and drove the lane. That led to the Dubs' first win in San Antonio in years upon years, and made 73 possible.

4. You Simply Can't Guard An NBA Player. . .

. . .consistently well when he can score over a 1400 square foot area. Especially if he can control the ball off the dribble. One false step and you're reading the name on the back of his jersey.

Oh, by the way. Thompson pretty dangerous too.
