Charles Barkley

The Hall of Fame forward and current TNT analyst referred to the All-Star forward as a “bus rider,” saying, “If you ain't driving the bus, don't walk around ...

On his Instagram story, Durant appeared to respond to Barkley’s “bus rider” criticism by posting a series of photos of Chuck alongside other NBA All-Stars during his playing career. The 12-time All-Star put up 39 points in the final game, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Brooklyn from falling at home, 116–112. Unsurprisingly, Durant didn’t take Barkley’s comments lightly.

The morning after getting swept out of the playoffs, the Nets star jumped on Instagram to...

Barkley nearly won a ring in 1993, but lost in the NBA Finals to Michael Jordan and Pippen in six games. Four years later, Barkley signed with the Rockets to team up with Olajuwon and Drexler. His best shot for a ring in Houston came in that first season when the Jazz knocked off the Rockets on a John Stockton buzzer-beater in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals. Durant was the team’s second-leading scorer that first season as he won his first championship. When you’re the bus driver, and you have all that pressure when you have to play well or you’re going to get the blame. One of them was of him in his those horrid Rockets' pinstripe jerseys as he stood between Hall of Famers Hakeem Olajuwon and Scottie Pippen and another showed him in those same pajama uniforms standing with Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler - hey, we see you Matt Maloney in the background of that pic, too. Durant hopped on his Instagram story and posted four photos from Barkley's playing days.

Philadelphia 76ers legend Charles Barkey doesn't exactly have much faith in his former team beating the Toronto Raptors in Game 6.

After Philadelphia ran over Toronto in Games 1 and 2, it seemed like a series many expected could be among the first-round’s most competitive would be finished in short order. Embiid’s injury and the Raptors’ much-improved approach on both sides of the ball changed everything, though. The Toronto Raptors are younger, fresher and deeper, readily exploiting their athleticism and versatility advantages now after a rough start to the first round.

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant roasted Charles Barkley on Instagram after he called him a "bus rider" on TNT....

But, Durant is still learning how to lead a team on his own to a title. While Barkley recently explained what he meant by that and claimed he wasn’t trying to put down KD by any means, Durant didn’t forget. By no surprise, Kevin Durant and Co. were roasted all over social media because of their collapse, especially since they had the best title odds of any team prior to the 2021/22 campaign.
