Share

Charles Barkley was a guest on the "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" last night.

When Colbert highlighted that Barkley was incorrect in his claim last season that the Warriors couldn't win the title last year, Barkley acknowledged that he "was very wrong."

The topic resulted in the following exchange:

Barkley: "They have a terrific team. They've been great for the NBA."

Colbert: "You ready to jump on board this year?"
