Charles Barkley is extremely entertaining on “Inside The NBA” but he’s pretty terrible at making predictions.
During halftime of Sunday night’s game 2 of the Lakers-Nuggets series, Barkley said Anthony Davis didn’t have a “killer mentality.”

Unfortunately for Barkley, Davis hit several clutch shots down the stretch including a game-winning buzzer-beater.

Lakers fans immediately mocked Barkley for what he said about AD during halftime.
Charles Barkley said AD doesn’t have killer instinct at halftime. He then preceeded to score the Lakers last 10 points in the 4th quarter and a game-winner.
I think Chuck's got the most powerful jinx in sports.
