Kevin Durant responds to Charles Barkley's TNT comments on ring chasing

[BlueHeffner]

Yea but he has won and GS hasnt,, saying Kd can't win shyt without GS become laughable under that context because they haven't won shyt either. On top of that.....KD damn near knocked off the bucks by himself, if that's not a carry job I don't know what is

nikka didnt win shyt, wtf are u talking about


“Damn near knocked off the bucks by himself”


They were up 2-0 because Kyrie played the first two games. KD only won 1 out of the next 5 games

yeah, I keep seeing "KD almost beat bucks by himself" and I'm like Son only beat the bucks once w/o Kyrie and were 1/4 with just Durant

KD still a beast and this won't diminish him in my eyes. He was a seventh seed with an undersized team, with a player who refuses to play.. going against a second seed..I didn't expect a sweep but he obviously is gonna get trolled.

The thing with KD though is he doesn't take this shyt lightly. He should be trolling back the way Shaq and em are doing. Don't let people know it's getting to you. Film a bus driver clip. Make jokes around it.

If I’m KD I’d be in Ibiza eating pizza with a lil thoty

 

[fifth column]

See you muthafukkers keep talking about bags..

fukk a bag nikka

That bag shyt means nothing when you don’t have the basketball character , intelligence and toughness to “unleash that so called bag” when you have to..

KD has ZERO leadership skills. ZERO.. He also is 175 lbs at 6’10..

All he can do is shoot jumpers he can’t post he has no upper body strength.. Why couldn’t he get in the post in this series?

He stayed on the perimeter

KD has extraordinary talent but doesn’t have toughness or leadership skills

He’s a follower

KD got this far by just being a jump shooter, how did the rest of the NBA let this happen

This dumb ass is hilarious

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Doesn't matter what you think he FACTUALLY outplayed him when it mattered most...true or false?

Durant had some great numbers but how much is attributed to Curry being a decoy?

Must i bring up that even with both Durant and irving healthy they actually lost game 3 of that series and were trailing Mil in game 4 when irving went down?

Chuck's expression as the bus driver

I mean that wasnt the first time kd put up big numbers or played at the level. But since when do we even do this? When have we ever discredited an mvp won just cause a player's teammate recieved more defensive attention? It's not a valid criticism unless you plan on quantifying it somehow and applying it to every player in the history of the league. Kd's performance against the Bucks last year was proof he is capable of dominating at that level with no help on the team . So to pretend KD only won his mvps cause steph got clamped is disengious....kd is kd

Don't be obtuse. People are bringing up the bucks because guys like yourself are acting like kd's success is a product of steph/warriors and that he can't dominate like that without another player receiving more defensive attention. He shut that shyt down last year by playing even better than he ever did in GS with far less help. So yea, that's the problem with that narrative. You're telling us he can't do what we've seen him do.

Yea and the warriors couldn't make the playoffs, either way you spin it...up until now KD has accomplished more than the warriors have since leaving.

He got swept this year.. He signed up for this. HE felt the titles on GSW weren't enough because HE wasn't the biggest name on the team. That's how he felt..

So he accepted what we're saying now as the bus driver challenge. He wanted this so now he has to deal with the criticism that every other player receives who accepts that challenge..

Charles was up front about that.. he said that at the end of the day he got roasted and never won a ring. Durant is in that seat and you can point to the rings on GSW but obviously Durant didn't feel they really counted or he wouldn't be on the Nets.

Regardless however you, kd, or anyone feels about the rings...the rings count. Playing on a stacked team has never been grounds for saying a ring doesn't count. If that's the case we have to review alot of players careers.

He obviously needed a new challenge and i was happy he made that move to the Nets because it showed how much legacy meant to him. But now he's gotta step up

what about now
