“He’s so uninformed” Skip Bayless calls out Charles Barkley for ‘piggybacking’ comments on Kevin Durant
Follow Us
Former NBA player Charles Barkley went all guns blazing at Brooklyn Nets star player Kevin Durant when he confirmed that he would be staying back with his current team. Responding to what Charles said, sports analyst Skip Bayless disagreed with him. Charles had commented on Kevin’s trade demands and called him desperate, and he has been scrutinized since he made some unrealistic demands. Skip Bayless counter-attacked Charles when he talked on the show, “Skip and Shannon: Undisputed.”
Skip quoted, “I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Now I will give you the ‘Mr. Miserable,’ Charles Barkley. ‘Can’t seem to find happiness, Mr. Sour Puss, Mr thin-skinned,’ well, I get all that. But I gotta tell you, in everything that Charles said other than Mr. Miserable, he is so wrong and so uninformed. On so many levels that it really just makes me sick when I read this. So, I’m gonna start with the keyword here piggybacked. He’s saying that Kevin Durant piggybacked the Golden State Warriors to back-to-back championships.
He added while talking about Golden State Warriors title loss to Cleveland Cavaliers when Kevin was with the Warriors, “Remember when Draymond Green fled into the parking lot at Oracle. While crying crocodile tears and via cell phone called Kevin Durant and said ‘Please, please come save us.’ So, piggybacked is just flat-out dead wrong. They sought Kevin because they knew they couldn’t beat LeBron without Kevin. They knew if it came down to superstar versus superstar, … they were not going to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers without the nuclear weapon who is Kevin Durant.”
What road lies ahead for Kevin Durant?
Kevin Durant has decided to stay with Brooklyn Nets for the 2022-2023 season. With multiple years still left in his contract, it will be interesting to see whether Kevin continues to play for the Nets until his contract expires or if he can find a new home for himself. But with the season just round the corner, the Nets management must get along with Kevin and chalk out plans to take the Brooklyn Nets to a championship title. It will be a matter of time to see how well the Brooklyn Nets fair is in the upcoming season.
