Barkley: " The Spurs are gonna win the championship "

[therealtruth]

Actually the last year he predict the Spurs winning was in 2007, so it just might be a good omen.

He actually picked the Jazz to beat the Spurs in 2007. Everybody else realized the Suns series was the defacto Finals.

I was one of the ones who said we were contenders while every else got off the bandwagon. It is going to be so sweet when I am one of the only true Spurs fans that was with this team from BEFORE the season started and they win a championship. I will be the only one allowed to really celebrate the victory as a true fan because everyone else abandoned ship before deciding to hitch themselves back onto the wagon.

Uhhh. Not the same team that started the season. Not by a long shot. Most board members started believing after the Jackson trade and then Diaw was the icing.

Appreciate it. I'm honored.

You really don't. Chuck has always said Tim Duncan is the greatest PF of all time, and has a lot of respect for him.

And honestly, deep down he's a Spurs lover, I think it all started with Manu's 2nd year in the NBA, which started the whole "GINOBILIII" craze.

I got one of my Spurs from predicting the 2007 playoffs for the Spurs back in the first week of that season.

... but I've been wrong every other year.

Thanks for pretty much reiterating what I've been trying to say repeatedly in here the whole time. Didn't know there were so many Barkley lovers on this forum. So my hat goes off to you as well.

Shaq was actually the one who calmed me down this year right after Manu's injury. He called it a "Blessing in Disguise", and he didn't care when everyone tried to challenge him on this. Thank you, Shaq. That certainly helped me throughout the season... and sure enough things just started to get better and better. And I pray that they will only continue to do just that.
