To be fair, the sentiment is one Barkley probably wouldn't be afraid to say on air, either. The Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer said the Warriors "stink" in an interview with "The Jim Jackson Show" earlier this month, and Barkley even has taunted Golden State fans to their faces in the past.
To put it bluntly, Barkley is a well-known Bay Area hater. And while it's unclear if his hot-mic gaffe was intentional or not, there certainly are no questions about his true feelings.
