Charles versus KD is back on.
Prior to Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets, NBA on TNT analyst Charles Barkley called out Kevin Durant for his rings while on Inside The NBA.
āAll these bus riders, they donāt mean nothing to me. If you aināt driving the bus, donāt walk around talking about āyou a champion.ā If youāre riding the bus, I donāt want to hear it,ā Barkley said. āCome on Shaq, tellā em. All these guys walk around with these championship rings. Hey, yaāll bus riders. But let me tell you something. When youāre the bus driver and you got all that pressure when you have to play well or you going to get the blame? Thatās a different animal.ā

Durant pointing out what Charles did doesn’t mean Charles wasn’t right.
Durant’s rings are still his rings, but we know what he needed to do in order to get them.
