Many people have doubts about the Golden State Warriors’ status as NBA championship contenders.
But their biggest doubter may be Fox Sports analyst Nick Wright, who claimed they have “zero percent chance,” of winning the title this season.
“The Warriors have a zero percent chance of winning the title,” Wright recently said on First Things First.
"The Warriors have a zero percent chance of winning the title."

Wright even made a case for the Los Angeles Lakers somehow having a better shot at becoming champions this season, even without LeBron James on the floor.
The Warriors have been fairly inconsistent this season, and they’ve looked far from the often-dominant team they’ve been for the best part of Steve Kerr’s tenure in charge.
Their home-road splits have been borderline historical, and they’ve been a bottom-feeding team away from CHASE Center all year long.
So, we get it; people should be skeptical of the Dubs’ title chances this season.
But from that, to claim that the reigning champions — with their title-winning core healthy and intact — have zero percent chance of going the distance might be going a bit too far.
The Warriors have the best point guard of his generation, a winning coach, elite shooting and defenders, and championship-caliber experience.
They might not win or even make the NBA Finals again, but they most definitely have a chance.
