Charles Barkley, commenting on Bob Myers leaving the Golden State Warriors’ front office for a position with ESPN, compared it to “jumping off the Titanic before it sunk.” Barkley’s metaphor implies that the Warriors, akin to the Titanic, represent a once-dominant force now facing challenges, with Father Time acting as the iceberg causing the team’s decline.
The mention of Jordan Poole as the ship and Draymond Green’s fist as the iceberg adds a humorous twist, and the Larry O’Brien trophy is humorously likened to the “Heart of the Ocean” diamond necklace from the Titanic.
Bob Myers’ weak protest about having friends with the Warriors was met with a playful retort from Charles Barkley, suggesting, “You’re going to see them soon.” Barkley could be referring to Draymond Green, who has joined TNT as a broadcaster, and Coach Steve Kerr, who previously worked as an announcer for TNT.
Kerr, in a situation similar to Myers last season, is in the last year of his contract with no extension in sight. Unless owner Joe Lacob secures Kerr’s future with the team, there’s speculation that Kerr might follow a similar path to broadcasting as Myers did.

Despite being only two games behind sixth-place Sacramento and recent strong performances from young players like Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga, the Warriors, with a quarter of the season completed, are in need of a turnaround to navigate the challenges ahead.
