“This is one of the best cities in the world,” Barkley added. “I come up here every summer. This is one of the best kept secrets in the world…
“AND THE RAPTORS ARE GONNA WIN TONIGHT!!”
A bold prediction.
Shaquille O’Neal asked Barkley if he was guaranteeing victory for the Raptors, to which Sir Charles said: “I GUA-RAN-TEE IT!” as the crowd roared in approval.
Barkley has never been shy about expressing his love for Toronto, repeatedly calling it his “favourite city in North America” last year.
Barkley also predicted success for the Raptors last season, saying they would make the NBA Finals.
At least on one night, Barkley’s prediction came true, as the Raptors beat the Milwaukee Bucks 118-112 in double overtime in Game 3.
