Charles Barkley<\/a> once said he didn't believe a jump-shooting team could win an NBA championship. Eight years and four titles later, Stephen Curry<\/a>, Klay Thompson, and the Golden State Warriors<\/a> have proved Chuck wrong. Moreover, the Warriors have made a believer out of Barkley, and he believes they can win even more titles. However, the all-time-great-turned-analyst does think there's one thing that can stop them: “Dollars.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Golden State Warriors are the best team in the NBA and set up nicely for the future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum handed Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob the Larry O'Brien trophy on Thursday and cemented the team as the best of the 2021-22 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This title was Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and coach Steve Kerr's fourth (with six Finals appearances) in eight years. Despite what Bill Simmons may think<\/a>, this is a dynasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes this title even more impressive is the depths the Warriors came back from after their last NBA Finals appearance in 2019. Curry played just five games, and Thompson played none that next season. The team went 15-50, the second-worst record in the NBA that season. A year later, the team improved to 39-33 but still lost in the NBA Play-In Tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The silver lining of these tough seasons is that they allowed the Warriors to restock with young talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last three seasons, Golden State has added Jordan Poole (who turns 23 on June 19), James Wiseman (21), Jonathan Kuminga (19), and Moses Moody (20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poole became a star this season<\/a>, averaging 18.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and shooting 36.4% from behind the arc. He also stepped up big in the 2022 NBA Playoffs. In his first-ever playoff game, he dropped 30 against Denver Nuggets and had a 31-point performance in Round 2 vs. the Memphis Grizzlies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wiseman, Kuminga, and Moody haven't done what Poole's done yet, but they are young and loaded with potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the core of Curry (34), Thompson (32), and Green (32), the franchise also had several key role players step up. Andrew Wiggins (27), Kevon Looney (26), and Gary Payton II are all in their prime and should continue to improve and help the organization continue its winning ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Barkley thinks the only thing that will stop the Warriors from winning more titles is money<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

"It's gonna come down to how many guys are the Warriors willing to pay.. what are they willing to pay in luxury tax to keep Wiggins & Poole"
