‘He Doesn’t Need Security Shaquille’: Kevin Durant Claps Back at Shaquille O’Neal as 7 Ft Legend Openly Defends Charles Barkley’s Comments
Follow Us
Kevin Durant has attacked Charles Barkley again on Twitter. The two-time champion hasn’t forgotten Chuck’s words on “Inside the NBA” yet. With Golden State winning the title again, Durant’s departure will be a hot topic of discussion. It was already said by many that Durant didn’t do much to enhance those Golden State teams, but now, this accusation has exploded on his face.
The Brooklyn Nets getting swept in the first round of the playoffs did not help his case at all. Barkley has repeatedly stated that Durant has to win a ring by being the “Bus driver” of a team. Only then he could garner respect from the “old heads” of the game.
All this shit is nasty, another terrible analogy from a hatin old head that can’t accept that we making more bread than them. It’s just timing Chucky, don’t hate the playa https://t.co/43BWSuijjV

Durant took notice of the clip where Pelicans guard CJ McCollum was seen defending him. He wrote, “All this s**t is nasty, another terrible analogy from a hatin old head that can’t accept that we making more bread than them. It’s just timing Chucky, don’t hate the playa”. Durant, now, has been told to stop by legend Shaquille O’Neal after seeing KD’s response to Barkley. Shaq is also an analyst in the “Inside the NBA” show.

So Durant has now clapped back at Shaq too. “He’s a grown-up,” wrote Durant, “He Doesn’t Need Security Shaquille.” This has led to arguments among fans on social media. Durant has not yet repented his words but has doubled down.
How did Kevin Durant start his argument with Chuck?
It all started when Barkley called Kevin Durant a “bus rider”, not a “bus driver”. Chuck said that when championships are used to measure the greatness of a player, it should only count when the player has led his team to that championship.
