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

[Flywin Lannister]

He's in that same class as AD and Kareem (imo). Always gonna be the most talented player on a team, but they just lack something internally to be the driving force.

EDIT: but fukk all that, what was Charles then

Charles was a bus driver who got to the Finals and ran into the best player ever

Barkley would’ve NEVER joined a 73-9 team with 3 All-Stars to coast to a chip. This is why everybody respects Chuck’s career and words.

all this slander either gonna motivate KD to take it to another level

or twitter gonna be on fire for the next couple months

Getting bored with hearing this year in year out

fukk outta here. They make fun of Chuck every damn show because of his lack of rings.

Shaq holds that shyt over him constantly. No one, including Chuck, will ever take away KD winning 2 FMVP's and 2 titles. No one.

Damn near all great players wouldn't humiliate themselves like that

Been saying for years, KD love is just antithesis to Bron hate

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

People need to stop correlating the best player also having to be a leader. Those are two different characteristics and skills.

He's not the best player either tho

Nikka whet?



Worthy was a #3 his entire career thats why you should have been mad. Him and KD had 2 different situations for their teams.

Its not an apples 2 apples comparison

KD would actually be a great James Worthy on a championship. We can dead the #1 talks

Nets not being a good team is a goddamn lie

They were 27-15 before KD went down and Ky was playing half of the games

Barkley specifically got traded to the Hakeem led Rockets to try and win rings, except he got bounced out by the fukkin Jazz... the hell are you talkin about

tatum got a long way to go

Kenny always trying to be politically correct. Chuck is hilarious

That team was built around having 3 present superstars. When don't have that on court, they aren't good. Their record and performance says enough.

 

[bl2k8]

All that goodwill KD built back up after the Bucks series and it’s all down the drain unless he pulls off the unthinkable

 

[Braman]

Steph Curry is not the leader of The Golden State Warriors

Duh, but his energy and his overall temperament/vibe whatever you want to call it is what drives GS’ culture. Ie, him being the reigning MVP but still having no ego to add KD and make him comfortable. And the on-court selflessness too

KD on the flip is a ‘different’ type of dude and that reflects on his teams. He just a hoops mercenary. BK laid down quiet and calm just like KD’s personality. Steph is no magic Johnson leader but he energizes his team and crowd l with his antics after 3’s. They ‘play for him’.
