Charles Barkley has a rather bold prediction that will make Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee Bucks fans happy. However, it comes with a rather savage assessment of the team.

During the NBA on TNT broadcast on Tuesday for the Bucks' series against the Brooklyn Nets, Barkley shared his prediction that the Cream City squad will win it all. Before he finished his remarks, though, he added that they “gotta be the dumbest team” because of the fact that they take “stupid fouls” and “bad shots” while not “taking advantage of mismatches.”

Just when you thought Chuck has something good to say about the Bucks and then this.

To be fair, the Bucks can probably heed Charles Barkley's advice and be more careful with their shot selection and defense. Moreover, it will certainly help them if they can exploit the mismatches that Giannis Antetokounmpo and the rest of the team get in games.

The Bucks are certainly legitimate championship contenders, and Chuck has reason to believe they can win it all.

However, before thinking of the NBA Finals, Giannis and company can't be too overconfident as they face a Brooklyn Nets side that boasts the scoring talents of Kevin Durant. James Harden and Kyrie Irving are dealing with injuries, but Steve Nash's squad remains a tough team to beat with KD leading the way.

Then again, fans probably shouldn't be too hyped about Barkley's prediction. We all know his “guaranteed” record anyway.
