Charles Barkley: Kevin Durant is a Bus rider, not a Bus Driver

[Dwight Howard]

I’m so tired of how we allow an abject simpleton to spin narratives because he’s on TV. This sports entertainment media, hot take bullshyt is killing the game by killing the appreciation for the game and it’s players. KD is one of the greatest players ever. He’s struggling against a great defensive team while receiving limited help from his team and ZERO help from his dumbass coach. In what world does this mean we erase or question the things he’s done?

Nor do I want to hear about him not “driving the bus” when GS pursued him after being bested by Bron. Not to mention the team falling apart against Toronto when he got injured.

Thank you.

Also only on the coli can a man be the arguably the greatest basketball player...not NBA player..but the greatest basketball player of all time. Be considered to be not a driving force.

A man that lost 2 game in college and the NCAA had to literally change rules to slow you down...yet you still dominate is not considered a driving force....

This is less about KD and more about the Celtics. They're playing great. Simple as that.

Nah, Both can be true an both are true in this case. KD is reputed to be able to score on anyone and shoot over anyone. Yet he's not only getting clamped by guys shorter than him but he's being outplayed on both ends of the court.

He’s not getting clamped by guys shorter than him. He’s being swarmed by multiple people around his height or that outweigh him.

I'm not saying that it ain't about KD. I'm just saying that it's more about how great the Celtics are.

Until KD shows he can handle doubles, while still producing and leading his team to a chip he's just not better. Bus rider

In that case Stephs lack of finals Mvps proves that he ain’t no bus driver either

 

[Rekkapryde]

Charles was dismissing bus riders talking up their championships. If he was calling KD a rider you have assume that he feels Kenny wasn't even on that level. He Luke Walton him.

Chuck always says Kenny has rings due to Dream

 

[Originalman]

All you KD'ers have are Final MVPs that he got because the opponents doubled Steph

He's a gay version of Adrian Dantley

A scoring machine that couldn't be a #1

You know what is hilarious about this? In his 50s Adrian Dantley became a elementary school crossing guard as a way to give back and spend time with kids.

Not only is your post hilarious its also ironic with the whole bus driver thread....

2 finals mvps

Your idol is finished. Everyone knows his accomplishments on GS were fraudulent now. Cry more

 

[ECA]

Breh its the sports media. If he loses they will be shytting on him too....its a hot take industry. You lose its you didn't step up you the worse and everything you done up to that point means nothing. You win and its you the best thing since slice bread and your championship means more than everyone else championship, you on the way to be greater than such and such.

Just dumb ass talking points for folks with few brain cells that got they brain matter burned up from watching too much TV, surfing the internet and reading social media.

Giannis already went through all that. He's solidified now

 

[Piff Perkins]

It's clapback from the media and KD stans saying he was the best player in the world, and also rewriting history by saying:

He's been the best player since 2014
He surpassed Bron in 2017 and 2018
He saved GSW and Curry and his finals MVPS are proof
He is already top 10 all time, as skilled as Jordan

And lastly, lebron has been crucified for less.

Don't get offended when people reanalyze and keep that same energy

I'm not even a huge Bron Stan like that, but it was WILD disrespectful how KD stans were talking so naturally there's pushback.

I’m fine with some pushback but the lack of context is bad and the tone is embarrassing to me. This is bad for basketball and again…you do not see this type of bullshyt in NFL discussions. People who hate modern football aren’t working NFL games (announcers, half time studio, etc), whereas half the people working NBA games clearly hate the modern game and the money involved.

The Nets are banged up, their coach can’t draw a play to save his life, and Kyrie is struggling to run offense. Yes KD is struggling, yes Boston’s defense is great. But this isn’t an equal match right now and the only person is blame is Kyrie for missing most of the season and putting the Nets in this position against a top seed.

Oh look a pathetic Bron fan still mad Kd sonned Bron back-to-back. Nothing that happens this season can discredit the fact that kd shytted on Bron back-to-back when it mattered most. Nothing. You dudes legit operating like trump supporters trying to rewrite history. Nope. Not happening. We all "witnessed".
