'The Charles Barkley curse is working': Chicago Bulls are 4-1 ever since Chuck called them 'the worst team in the NBA' on Inside The NBA

NBA legend and TNT analyst Charles Barkley made a statement that has driven the Bulls to make up for their slow start. 

Charles Barkley recently completed his 20 years on ‘Inside the NBA’ on TNT. Over the course of his time there, Chuck has had a lot of hot takes and statements. It should suffice to say that not all of them were on the money. He had bet on the Sixers to go all the way in the 2019-20 playoffs, and we all saw how that went.

It has been over a week since Charles Barkley went on TNT and took dig at the Chicago Bulls. They had a 0-3 record to start the season, and Charles called them ‘the worst team in the NBA’.

How did the Chicago Bulls respond to Charles Barkley?

There was no official reply from the Bulls to what Chuck said on ‘Inside the NBA’, but the way they have played certainly shows they heard what he said. The Bulls, after their slow 0-3 start have seemed to find their focus and have evened up things by having a 4-4 record.

The Bulls are being led by Zach LaVine, who is averaging 23.8 ppg. Chuck has not really been accurate with his predictions this season. He bet $100k on the Portland Trailblazers to win the west this season, and they just suffered back-to-back losses to the Warriors and Bulls.

The season is still young, and nothing can be said for sure this early.
