Charles Barkley Rips Kevin Durant As ‘Abject Failure,’ ‘Mr. Miserable’
Death, taxes and the Charles Barkley vs. Kevin Durant feud.
During an appearance on the Arizona Sports 98.7 FM, Barkley ripped Durant for his trade request from the Nets and how he has carried himself throughout his career. The team announced that Durant would be staying with the team going forward on Tuesday.
“He get mad when we say it, he piggyback on the Warriors to win his first two championships, but if you go back and look at his career, as the best player and being a leader that all goes with that, he’s been an abject failure,” Barkley said. “I mean, every time he’s been like the guy who has to be the leader and the best player he has not had success.”
