Charles Barkley has been a longtime critic of the Golden State Warriors, and coach Steve Kerr had a strong response to his latest criticism.
On Thursday night, Barkley went after the Warriors again, saying that he was “never going to like that little girly basketball” that he believes they play. It’s only the latest in a long list of criticisms of Golden State that have usually gone ignored by those associated with the team.

On Friday, though, Kerr could not resist a response.

Possibly not far from the truth.
Barkley has derided the Warriors as a jump-shooting team that would never win a championship, even though they eventually did. He’s never let up on that criticism despite their remarkable success. At this point, it’s kind of an old take, and good on Kerr for jabbing back and having a little fun with it.
