The NBA Season is officially upon us.
For sports fans who might be growing tired of the long MLB season, and are in a rut with the NFL, this is an exciting time for them.
With the start of any new season, fans and analysts tend to make predictions about the outcome of the upcoming season.
In a video shared by Ben Golliver via NBA Central, Charles Barkley predicted that the Boston Celtics will take home this year’s title.

Barkley’s prediction came just before the regular season tipped off, locking in his decision.
The Celtics made it to the Eastern Conference Finals last season, making Barkley’s selection not a hot take, by any means.
Many pundits have cast their vote for the Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, and Denver Nuggets, with other teams sprinkled in.
While Barkley ultimately chose the Celtics as his pick to win the NBA Finals, he revealed that the Bucks were his first choice.
However, after the Celtics made a move that allowed them to acquire Jrue Holiday, he quickly changed his mind.
Holiday will now be a part of a three-headed monster between himself, Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum.
His defensive prowess paired with his scoring abilities have made him into the player that he is.
The Celtics were seemingly missing a third star on their roster, and have hopefully found that in Holiday.
After losing in the Eastern Conference Finals, and with the Bucks acquiring Damian Lillard, this move could put them over the top this season.
