First in a two-part series
Jim Barnett will be the first to tell you that he's "seen it all" during his long association with the NBA, first as a player for seven franchises (1966-77) and since the 1985-86 campaign as a popular color commentator on the Golden State Warriors' TV broadcasts.
Maybe that's why some folks' nonstop analysis or daily breakdown of the Warriors' pursuit of another title or single-season win record is as stale as day-old bread to him.
