Editor's note: The video above is a CSN Bay Area interview with Charles Barkley from July 13, 2015. 

Charles Barkley has been an active detractor of the Warriors since the "We Believe" years, and the team's red-hot start hasn't swayed his narrative. 

In a Thursday interview on ESPN Radio, the NBA on TNT analyst took a clear stance in the popular debate pitting the Warriors against the '95-'96 Bulls. 

"That Bulls team would kill this little team. Come on, man. Who is going to guard Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan? What about Dennis Rodman?"

Those Bulls won an NBA-record 72 games in the regular season, but the 25-1 Warriors are currently on pace to break that mark. 

In the same interview, Barkley also snubbed Golden State when asked to make a pick for the 2016 NBA title.
