Facts

We was on this board talking bout Harden out Ginolbling Nose

 

[DTXwavey_02]

He’s now going back to the 76ers days with Moses Malone, Dr. J, Mo Cheeks

Gahdamn I’ve never seen such an insecure lame ass nikka like KD, just take your L dawg. nikka having a whole emotional breakdown

 

[SAINT]

He said KD is a bus rider and not a bus driver.

It’s not ring chasing and it don’t seem KD was calling him that, imo. He pointing out that Barkley was also a bus rider.

nah he clarified what he meant after. He wasn’t saying that

 

[Piff Perkins]

The social media shyt not gonna save K this time just gonna have to take those lumps and do better next yr.

You aren't wrong but at the same time...at some point we gotta acknowledge how broken NBA discourse is. And the major driving force is not sports media, it's sports entertainment media. Where former players say the most outrageous shyt imaginable about modern players, out of pure jealously and disdain for the modern game.

Barkley was a ring chaser at one point and wasn't "driving the bus." Barkley had an antagonistic relationship with reporters. Barkley was seen as unprofessional at some points. But now that his money is tied to the TNT platform he has done what most people do: get more conservative as they age and start shytting on younger people.It's corny.

I went to the mat defending KD a few days ago. I can't really do it again, after that game 4 performance. But I'm still gonna say fukk TNT, Shaq, and Charles.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Nope.. Barkley was a bus driver until he got old.

KD hopped on the GSW bus in his prime

 

[young yeesh]

KD is rightfully receiving slander for playing way worse than a top 3 player should in the playoffs. These IG posts aint powerful. Go get some heart and reflect on that sweep

 

[Art Barr]

Oh no, lost to the Heat in 5 vs prime Bron/Wade/Bosh. What a disappointment. The fukk?

This ain't got shyt to do with Bron anyway you goof.

This about Barkley's jealous ass trying to capitalize on KD's loss because he feels bad about never winning a ring.

Barkley was commenting on kd never willing a team for dolo to the finals or a ring.
Which kd never did.
Now granted kd played the okc owners.
who traded away a whip.
to steal a whole franchise in seattle. Yet kd still had to make the most obscene move to goldenstate.
Now his score card is being pulled.
Where kd gon have to deal with it.
till he can will this franchise to the finals.

Chuck was drafted by Philly

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Barkley didn't join the 96 Bulls

Exactly that was the equivalent of what KD did

 

[Piff Huxtable]

Servant went from Mr. Unreliable to Mr. Emotional

what a shame

Its a difference between x-factor & driver. Harden might have been the x-factor but KD averaged like 30 & clearly carried them

 

[Easy-E]

Got fat boy

How?

This is corny as hell. Chuck was 33 and Clyde and Hakeem were 34 and 34

They were damn near .500 the year before (48-34)

The fact they they are "brand names" don't make it a "super team" or "team up"

Only corny ass NBA Twitter thinks this is a burn

 

[stepbackj34spud]

I love KD response lol. fukk Barkely.. he aint never win shyt.

No kd did not.
Harden carried that team over the hump. Then went for dolo and before harden had a tag partner in hou. Harden went for dolo. Then needed a tag partner in paul and later russ. While kd went to ride the warriors' bus.
Kd never got over the hump to the finals.
without overly significant aid from a hydra based team makeup of talent of the superstar variety.
In that kd never ramped any talent to make the finals.
Hence kd's bus rider label sticking in barkley's rant.
