Kevin Durant Hits Back At Charles Barkley As Both Exchange Words
Charles Barkley was asked by Kenny Smith if Kevin Durant was the best player when he played for the Warriors to which the TV analyst replied that he was not. Smith then interrupted and said that KD was the best player at Warriors while Chuck responded, “He got MVP. He wasn’t the best player. Iguodala wasn’t the best player, he got MVP.”
Kenny Smith: "You don't think [Kevin Durant] was the best player on the Warriors?"
Charles Barkley: "No, I do not."
Kenny: "He was the best player."
Chuck: "He got MVP. He wasn't the best player. Iguodala wasn't the best player, he got MVP."

Brooklyn Nets got swept out of the NBA Playoffs in the first round of the Best-of-seven series against the Boston Celtics. After this, the Nets star Durant took over his social media handle to reply to his “haters” ultimately it was to the former basketball player Barkley.
It is just an assumption as of now looking at what KD posted through his media probably must be about replying to Barkley for his comments over him to the team he won two titles with. He via his Instagram story posted a picture of Barkley while he was in a Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers jersey while he played for the teams and was surrounded by players like Hakeem Olajuwon, and Clyde Drexler, Julius Erving and Scottie Pippen.

KD also wrote, “Where would Chuck be without the big homies,” probably targeting his words and saying that he would have not been what he used to be without the big player in his team.
The Television analyst also indicated saying that he rather was a “bus rider” on those teams than a “bus driver,” as per Inside the NBA.

While Durant clinch two MVPs in a row there in NBA Finals, Barkley’s statement is considered very strong for not calling him the best player at that time.

On the other side, Barkley has never clinched an NBA title and that’s how he was trolled by the Nets’ star for calling out his name this way that made him get trolled by the Tokyo Olympics gold medalist.
