Charles Barkley Calls Kevin Durant’s Legacy a ‘Bus Rider’

Charles Barkley speaking more truth.

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets are one game away from getting swept in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs by the Boston Celtics. It will certainely go down as another wasted and disappointing season for Durant.

Coming off a particularly bad 16/8/8 in Game 3, Charles Barkley basically questioned Durant’s entire legacy.

“All these bus riders, they don’t mean nothing to me. If you ain’t driving the bus, don’t walk around talking about ‘you a champion.’ If you’re riding the bus, I don’t want to hear it. Come on Shaq, tell’ em. All these guys walk around with these championship rings. Hey, ya’ll bus riders. But let me tell you something. When you’re the bus driver and you got all that pressure when you have to play well or you going to get the blame? That’s a different animal.”

Durant definitely has a lot to prove as far as him being able to carry a team to a championship.

But as long as he doesn’t get a ring outside of those two in Golden State, this kind of rhetoric isn’t going to go away anytime soon.
