We know you’ll find this hard to believe, but…Charles Barkley doesn’t agree with Kevin Durant’s decision to join the Warriors!
Barkley—the same guy who steadfastly refuses to put LeBron James anywhere near his top five NBA players of all time list, regardless of what LeBron does—made an appearance on ESPN’s Mike & Mike on Wednesday morning, and of course, he was asked to comment on KD’s recent announcement. Barkley said that he thinks KD is cheating by playing alongside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green:
He also went on to explain exactly why he doesn’t like the move KD decided to make:
I’m disappointed like I was disappointed when LeBron went to Miami. Kevin is a terrific player and he’s a good kid, but I’m just disappointed at the fact that he weakened another team and he’s going to kind of gravy train on a terrific Warriors team. I’m just disappointed from a competitive standpoint, because it would mean more to win one—just like it meant more to LeBron to win one in Cleveland—it would mean more to Kevin to win one in Oklahoma than it would be in Golden State.
Barkley is entitled to his opinion, and he makes a lot of the same points that other KD critics do. But there’s another side to this coin, too. If you want to read about why people like Barkley should leave KD alone, go here.
