Best thread ever.
Every once in a while it’s nice to go back and recognize brilliance, and this week it was Charles Barkley’s turn. Chuck candidly unloading on Warriors fans before subsequently apologizing sent Twitter down the rabbit role to help us remember why Inside the NBA is the best sports desk show on TV.

What started with one small comment sparked dozens of people dropping their favorite Chuck moments over the years, and you should absolutely check it all out here. Going through the list here were some of the moments we loved the most that we’d forgotten all about.
