The ongoing feud between Charles Barkley and Kevin Durant is heating up, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to end anytime soon. Barkley recently referred to Durant as “sensitive” during a segment on ’60 Minutes’ that aired on CBS. Not surprisingly, Durant fired back by sharing a tweet from Awful Announcing that featured the clip.
In response, Durant tweeted, “This ain’t gettin tiring chuck? I’ll never respect the words that come out ya mouth fam just deal with it.” It’s clear that the tension between the two is still running high.
During the ’60 Minutes’ interview, Barkley was asked about Durant and his opinion on the two-time finals MVP and 13-time All-Star remains unchanged. Despite the ongoing drama, Durant continues to dominate on the court and prove his critics wrong. It’s clear that he won’t let anyone, including Barkley slow down his basketball game.
Earlier this year, Charles Barkley spoke about his relationship with Kevin Durant during an interview on Showtime’s ‘All The Smoke’. The NBA Hall of Famer revealed that he and Durant have been “cordial” but have also “taken shots” at each other.
While acknowledging Durant’s talent, Barkley also referred to him as “sensitive” and said that he would have to win a championship without the Warriors to earn the respect of the “old heads”. Despite the criticism, Durant has proven himself time and time again on the court and continues to be regarded as one of the best players in the game.
It’s clear that the relationship between Barkley and Durant is complicated, with both men expressing their opinions and taking jabs at each other. But as long as Durant continues to perform at the highest level and add to his impressive resume, it’s unlikely that he’ll be too concerned with the opinions of former NBA stars who never won a championship.
Michael Jordan, the basketball Hall of Famer, was the subject of a recent conversation between him and his former colleague Charles Barkley. Barkley, an always outspoken broadcaster, shared some details about the last phone call he had with Jordan. According to Barkley, the conversation was filled with profanity and marked the end of their relationship.
The rift between the two basketball legends started back in 2012 when Barkley criticized Jordan’s performance as a team executive. Barkley suggested that Jordan needed to surround himself with better people, as the people around him were more interested in enjoying the perks of Jordan’s fame than being honest with him. Barkley mentioned in November during an appearance on the “Let’s Go!” podcast with Tom Brady and Jim Gray that he had not spoken to Jordan in almost a decade.
Barkley mentioned during a heated phone call ten years ago he had with his longtime friend, Michael Jordan. According to Barkley, the conversation ended with Jordan using colorful language and telling him off. Despite this, Barkley defended his decision to criticize Jordan’s decision-making as owner of the Charlotte Hornets.
Barkley explained that as a sports analyst, it’s his job to give his honest opinion, even if it means criticizing his best friend. He emphasized that having an ego doesn’t excuse being a jerk. It’s worth noting that Jordan has not given any interviews since 2020 and has been quiet about his relationship with Barkley.
Despite their severed relationship, Barkley has always been vocal about his admiration for Jordan as a player. He has often described Jordan as the best basketball player he has seen, and he even once said that Jordan was so good that he could score 100 points in a game if he wanted to.
