Kevin Durant Returns Fire at Charles Barkley Over Latest ‘Bus Driver’ Comments

Kevin Durant versus Charles Barkley,  again.

Charles Barkley has had some negative words for some of the league’s biggest stars, including none other than Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant. With the Warriors enjoying so much success, Barkley has likened Durant to a “bus rider” as opposed to a “bus driver.” CJ McCollum sought to dispel this myth, McCollum claims KD was always the best player on those Warriors teams, saying “[Kevin Durant] was the bus driver of that team. … His resume speaks for himself. There’s no blemishes on it.”

.@CJMcCollum is disagreeing with Charles Barkley's take on Kevin Durant needing to earn respect from the old heads by winning a title as the bus driver.

The segment from Get Up! made its way to KD, who was clearly fired up about what Barkley was saying.

“All this shit is nasty, another terrible analogy from a hatin old head that can’t accept that we making more bread than them,” Durant said. “It’s just timing Chucky, don’t hate the playa.”

The most recent Warriors championship has definittely put a dent in Kevin Durant’s legacy. They won before he came and after he left.

Durant can say whatever he wants, he went ring chasing and it paid off. Now if he can win as a Bus Driver he’ll really shut up Sir Charles.
