VIDEO: Warriors' Barbosa brings back 'We gonna be championship' line following title win

Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports

Leandro Barbosa knew back on March 21 following a win over the Utah Jazz that the Golden State Warriors were going to be NBA champions.

Or "championship," as the 32-year-old Brazilian backup so eloquently put it during a postgame interview with CSN Bay Area's Rosalyn Gold-Onwude.

Barbosa's comical forecast came true June 16 when the Warriors clinched their first championship in 40 years following a 105-97 Game 6 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Celebrating with teammates in their locker room, Barbosa saw fit to remind everyone of his fearless prediction, although his timing was a tad off.
