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.
âAll these bus riders, they donât mean nothing to me. If you ainât driving the bus, donât walk around talking about âyou a champion.â If youâre riding the bus, I donât want to hear it,â Barkley said. âCome on Shaq, tellâ em. All these guys walk around with these championship rings. Hey, yaâll bus riders. But let me tell you something. When youâre the bus driver and you got all that pressure when you have to play well or you going to get the blame? Thatâs a different animal.â

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.
