 I want to give you credit for jumping off the Titanic before it sunk.

The comment led to friendly banter and laughter. Bob Myers has a long-standing relationship with the Warriors. He was their manager for 12 years and he played a major role in shaping the roster. Myers is the brain behind those NBA trophies

Bob Myers on Barkley’s comment gave a very subtle reply by saying that he has friends over there due to his long-standing relationship with the franchise. To this, Barkley gave a quick response and said

 Yeah, you're going to see them soon.

The Golden State Warriors are having a tough time with their position in their league. They hold a record of ten wins and 12 losses which isn’t a good sign for the franchise if they look for winning the championship.

The Warriors are struggling this season. Star players like Draymond Green and Klay Thompson are struggling to regain their previous levels of performance Steph Curry has been carrying the team to some of their notable victories in the current season. It still isn’t enough as they are currently at the 11th in the Western Conference.

Golden State Warriors HC Steve Kerr makes a comparison between young Steph Curry and Tyrese Haliburton

The Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton is the talk of the town with his playmaking skills and scoring prowess. With his game, he has made a name for himself and has been one of the main players on the rosters to lead the Pacers. Although the Pacers lost against the LA Lakers in the recent In-season finals, they gave a tough fight. Seeing all of that Warriors head coach Steve Kerr compared Tyrese Haliburton to young Steph Curry.

Kerr in a media interaction shed light on Hailburton’s performance and said:

I'm not surprised. Coaching him this past summer, guy's a brilliant player. Very a unique player just the way he sets up the game for the rest of his teammates and then can just stop on a dime and make a three at anytime.

He compared Haliburton to young Steph Curry which is an honor, by itself.
