Barkley predicts the next five years in the West will belong to the rising Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs, built around Victor Wembanyama.

The penalty just seals their fate, but he’s already written them off as perennial underachievers. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
