Ex-NBA star Charles Barkley repeatedly railed against today’s top player Kevin Durant. Now the All-Star of the Brooklyn Nets shoots back. With poisonous words.
Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors have a brief history together. The 33-year-old NBA superstar was once part of the team and helped the Warriors to two titles during his three-year tenure before joining the Brooklyn Nets.
After the Warriors won the NBA Finals, Durant’s legacy became a topic of discussion. And one who spoke out on the matter was NBA Hall of Famer and TV analyst Charles Barkley.
Durant is a two-time Finals MVP, but Barkley reckons Durant hasn’t starred in his two championship years at Golden State.
Barkley mentioned that the Brooklyn superstar has to win a championship as the head of a team before he gets the respect he deserves.
Durant overheard Barkley’s comments and was annoyed. Taking to Twitter, Durant fired back, calling Barkley a “hateful envier.”
Durant: This whole shit is disgusting, that’s another horrible statement from a hateful jealous guy who can’t accept that we’re making more money than they used to be. It’s all about timing Chucky, you shouldn’t hate us players.”
The original of this post “”Hateful envious man!” NBA generation dispute at a new level of escalation” comes from OpenCourt-Basketball.
