Ever since NBA superstar Kevin Durant decided to join the Golden State Warriors, Charles Barkley has been one of the most vocal critics regarding KD’s decision. The Hall of Famer has repeatedly called out the former Warriors player for his choice, going as far as to call him a ‘Bus Rider’. It has been almost a year since Barkley commented on KD. Since then, Durant has fired back with several remarks of his own. However, the beef between the two doesn’t seem to be nearing its end as the duo recently got engaged in yet another verbal dispute.

The 2x NBA champion recently retweeted an interview given by Chuck where the basketball veteran had quite a few things to say. When asked to give his thoughts on Durant, Barkley took a shot by calling him a great but sensitive player.

He said, “He’s very sensitive. Great player. He’s part of that generation who think he can’t be criticized. He’s never looked in the mirror and says ‘Man, is that a fair criticism?'”
