- Charles Barkley was totally right about Kevin Durant, but no one paid attention. The Kevin Durant Phoenix Suns saga continues. Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and Bradley Beal have played minimal games together, and they're actually winning, but what happens when they don't? They're not all able to stay on the floor together for long durations, and when you see Phoenix Suns highlights, you don't see what's missing and how KD can fold when things aren't working. Do you think Charles Barkley is right about Kevin Durant? Let us know in the comments!

Guys in the league have crazy longevity compared to just a few decades ago, but being 35+ and not accepting your spot as maybe the 2nd option only hurts your chance of winning.
They are playing the equivalent of flag football. Bo Jackson would still be playing if noone was allowed to tackle him.
They sit a lot of games
Better scorers at Forward Position: Just off the top of my hat Bird & Nowitzki for sure. Never forget Dirk played KD in his title run and straight up embaressed him.
KD is great not Top 10 but Top 25 for sure and a great 1 on 1 guy however the Celtics showed that it is quite possible to deal with him if you defend him properly and use your team.
Has more scoring titles than dirk and bird combined u fool it’s not even close and u bringing up kd getting swept u forgot he tore his Achilles ? So name me the guys who come back and dominated after that injury sir and I can name players like Lebron kobe bird included who has had horrible series in their careers so bringing up a instance where kd had a bad series means nothing actually learn how to break down basketball instead of just saying bs dude it’s literally impossible to name 25 players with better stats longevity and accolades than kd dude I bet u can’t even name 10 cause it’s impossible literally
Youngins don’t know what u speak of. I too can name tons of better forwards than kd. These kids only know basketball from 2010 to today
@@elturko1128 funny u said 2010 kd was literally a all nba 1st team player at age 19-20 in 2009 u sound foolish name me the fowards better than kd and they better have 4 scoring titles top 8 all time in playoff points a 15x allstar a 12x all nba a top 75 player and was great 15+ years cause buddy kd literally has been great since 2008 why do u dudes come on UA-cam and lie it’s literally only 1 small Foward all time with better stats more accolades and longevity and it’s Lebron that’s it so once again name me the small fowards with better stats longevity and total accolades let me see how dumb u are
Boston defense was 3 for dummy lmao kd is top 5 are you on drugs casuals
@@elturko1128name a ton. MJ and kobe acknowledge him as a great talent. you arent going to name a ton of forwards that are better.
Let's just tell it like it is: KD is selfish and insecure. Maybe not as much as Lebron, but definitely. These two personality traits go hand in hand, and KD has them in spades.
Truth!! The burner account and he sits and tweets with trolls he’s great but so insecure and he has to own perception over the rings sorry don’t care about the final MVPs 😮😂
I’m trying to sympathise with him but being only the second or third or fourth best player of your generation (and top 15 of all time) is really a first world problem as the expression goes
He is REALLY not that good. He's not that guy at all.

Remember guys this is just a video of opinions. KD is a great in his own right he is talented.
KD is talented but there are lots of great points here
Well said by both of you two things can be true!! He’s not an alpha but still great but he will toss you under a bus him and Kyrie still a fan 😂😂
Bro that "for KD he thinks that means get going to a new team" fucked me up lol damn that was funny. Making some food and heard that. Had to laugh a little bit.
73-9? He's not BATMAN OR ROBIN more like Alfred!
very funny. i agree kd has talent but he ain t a closer. charles is correct. 100%.
73-9 means what without a ring 😂😂
Alfred was pretty tough..go Pacers
It means the greatest regular season of all time!....DUH....@@snowmontana2547
@snowmontana2547 Context matters. Idiot
You cannot forgive his gs move 😂😂😂 nothing he does moving forward will outweigh that move
If you can forgive Lebron for Miami you can forgive KD for Golden State
@@emiliothepoetthey wont because KD the reason lbj is 4-6 in the finals 🤣🤣theyre mad. these gs guys flew out to acquire this man but they wanna make it seem like KD was still in contract with okc and begged to join the warriors
@@hddh3221 Exactly, it's not just the Lebron fans though. It's the salty OKC fans that's mad that KD went to their opps. Emphasis on THEIR opps. Cuz the Warriors fanbase was talking spicy after they beat the Thunder so it hurt them the most. But they should be over it now. They have a great new young team that looks destined for greatness.
@@emiliothepoet So lebrons team with mo williams being the second best player left to join miami is comparable to kd leaving the most talented team on paper at that time to join a 73 win team that beat him is comparable🤣.

@@emiliothepoet who tf said i did lebum is a coward too
Every year that Durant was with the Warriors, Curry was still the team's leading scorer.
😂 No way KD is top 10 of all time. If that’s on your list, throw it in the trash
He is top 10 fool
He’s young. Only youngins like dude in ur comments would say he’s top 10. Let alone 15. They only know ball from 2010 and on :)))) for sure they think lebron is greatest all time too (greatest stat chaser and ring chaser that is)
@@elturko1128 the goal of the game is to win and chase rings u fucking fool it’s a championship for a reason and the goal is to win it fucc your feelings and everybody else’s who feels some type of way about players chasing rings
@@elturko1128plenty of ppl that watched would put him top 15. dude is a top 10 scorer in nba history for regular season and playoffs. top 5 scorer in playoff eliminTion game former mvp 4 time scoring champion. 2 fmvp. imagine how good you have to be to win back to back fmvp with the only unaniomous mvp on the team and at 35 after tearing his achilles the man is still a top 5 player in the league. in the 50/40/90 club. if he was chasing stats he would hog the ball and score more which he could. he barely shoots sometimes.
Knicks really dodged a bullet these 2 fools😅
Great player. All time great talent no doubt but like this generation can’t take constructive criticism without feeling the need to clap back. Everyone that has advice is not a hater. Learning is a daily activity.
Barkley should know, winning a championship is hard.
People need to get over KD leaving San Francisco and more on with their lives.
K.D is a phenomenal basketball player without a question of a doubt. Like how he portrayed himself, he truly is an easy bucket sniper especially in today's nba league with its rules. Yes, he played major role for the 2 championships that the GSW won with him. He is one of the top nba players of all time easily but as far him being the one of the Goats, one of the legends, one of the true champions is absolutely far fetched. First, he joined the best recording breaking team in NBA history to win rings. He chose the easiest way out that the NBA has ever had to win rings. Not to forget it was the same team whom his OKC fumbled their 3-1 lead in the prior season. Second, instead of sticking out with the team and trying to figure out ways to make the team better, he point fingers and blamed others whether it's teammates, staff and in this case even coaches and wanted them out indefinitely which he has done in more than one occasions. Despite having all those superstars but exiting 1st round in embarrassing fashion but still denying or not owning up to it shows his mentality side of the game. These kinds of traits are what has been preventing him being included in the discussion of NBA top GOAT status alongside the likes of MJ, Lebron, etc.
As an individual, he is phenomenal but as a team player, *not so much*
This is a team sport and there is also a mentality side to this game off the courts which i believe K.D does not excel unlike how he does on the court.
Straight facts 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
straight cap😭😭😭
when he joined the warriors was they 73-9? stop that dumb narrative.”he choose the easy way out” you sound dumb did he do what lebum did? no the warriors flew out to kd and acquire get your shit right mate. yhh loss in the first round but no problem when the warriors couldnt beat a young grizzlies in the play in😭😭but embarrassing to lose to the what made it to the finals
he exited from the first round once with one superstar so what you talking about “superstars”🤣🤣🤣
you just said “its a team sport” so why you shifting everything on kd you clown you sound stupid
Curry is NOT the best PG in history. He’s probably the best SHOOTING/SCORING PG in history, but that’s far from being the best PG ever. He’s actually a shooting guard. And there’s no way in HELL Durant is Top 15 all time. Lucky to be considered Top 50.
He said the greatest pg without the ball clean your ears
@@jaridatkinson4907 Yup. My bad.
@kens2328 no biggie 👍🏿
I agree with your statement on Curry being more like a shooting guard.
@@MrT67 I was, however, wrong about the video claiming he was the “best PG in history”. I misheard the statement. The actual claim was he is the best PG in history in moving without the ball. My error.
KD is one of the greats but will never be one of the greatest.
That lets me know your a casual who don’t know basketball
KD's a great scoring weapon, but he's missing important leadership intangibles.
mate get off your knees
I'm so tired of hearing the baseless "leadership" argument. Tell us what leadership is. Everybody swears KD isnt a leader, but nobody can explain why he isnt. You know why you cant? Because there's not one way to lead.
@@smoothsavage2870 That's because you look at it as insult.KD's just a passive, introverted guy who'd rather retreat when things get tough.He'd rather ride the bus tucked away in a hoodie & some headphones rather than be the driver.In the Avengers, he'd be the Hulk.An offensive weapon of mass destruction you can just point in a direction on go "Smash!".He can win you a battle given a clear role & objective, but he's not the guy made for rallying the troops.Just watch him.And watch the moves he's made in his career.He'd rather be on a team where the leadership is already established & he can just slide into a supporting role.
@@dirtyface-capone7622 He led the Thunder, he led the Nets. Draymond Green was always the leader of the Warriors, but KD led them past Lebron. KD is leading on the Suns right now.
KD has had one hell of a career that thousands of others who played in the NBA would absolutely love to have.
Injuries are a part of the problem and every other player mentioned in the video has lost a season or two because of injuries and KD was never the GM of any of the teams he played with so im not sure how he"picked" all of his teammates. Finally as a Suns fan, freaking Barkley screwed up several times and blew his chances at getting a ring himself as the "driver" on the same team KD is on right now. So if Phoenix is successful this season and wins the chip, the "rider" will have done what the "driver" failed to do.
Look warriors don't win those two championship without KD PERIOD,i didn't like that he join Golden S. Weak move,but he was the main reason they won both championship nor Curry,lets keep it a buck
The Cavs sold out completely to stop Steph rewatch the Finals I remember one instance with KD driving down the middle and the Cavs just part like the red sea to all go to the 3 point line to stop Steph not KD Steph is who they were concerned with and he didn't even have the ball
@@DanielGonzalez-vo5niyep u remember 1 instance which was game 1 that was 1 play now I dare u to tell me 3 more times in that whole series where kd was wide open fool I watched those finals and curry took more open shots than kd 97.3% of kd shots was contested and in that 2017 playoffs including finals curry was 2nd in wide open shots Avery Bradley was 1st and kd was 12th buddy so stop with the lies see what u dudes do is lie for no reason and then in 2018 finals kd tried to force feed steph finals mvp Steph took way more shots than kd that finals and kd still outscored him averaged more assist more points rebounds and blocks all categories stop tryna rewrite history that shit don’t work on people who actually watched those finals sir
But the Warriors probably couldn't have beaten my team, the Cavs, without Durant, at least not in 2017 when Kyrie was still there.
Yeah, they would have. It took injuries, a fraudulent suspension, and nba assistance just for the cavs to come back and only win by one possession.
@@remnant8898then that makes curry the biggest chicken ever
@@remnant8898 Love didn't play at least 2 games in 2016 championship due to concussion and he was not 100% for most of series. Green is a good but dirty player and deserves every suspension he gets and even deserves far worse.

That sounds like he took a play book from lebron James
Lebron won in all teams he played with

@@budski9542don't you dare ever call LeBron Lebum or you will be sorry.

"tired of second".....that is why he has an aesterick next to his warrior chsip as do the rest of the warriors because none of todays players want to EARN a championship always trying to create super teams as if you are at a pickup game ....you are guilty of this too charles but you went 0-3 trying (sixers, rockets, suns)...that is why we should really appreciate the Nuggets cship team that took several years to build from within
and that is the reason kd and every one who leaves their first nba team would NEVER be in the goat conversation...(the same with leflop)
Jordan left his team as well. He went to Washington . You make no sense.
Kareem left his original team. MJ ended his career with the Wizards.
Jordan kept getting swept by Detroit before teamimg up with Rodman Pippen and Steve Kerr plus Phil Jacskon. Learn some facts.
@@OJay1986 Jordan never get swept by the Detroit, and in the first tree peat, was without Rodman and Kerr.
@@nobrerovai5320 three straight seasons losing to them sounds like no good to me. Still could beat them without Pippen. Perios
KD's destiny in the league will always be a second option. being a 1st option doesn't work if your trying to win a championship. he has been chasing lebron his whole career then he though he could go to GS and be a leader that is stephs team. the nets was main Kyries team in my opinion. and pheonix will always be bookers team. he is yet to be on a team where he is "the guy" being in pheonix as a second option suits him and he should be happy with that. i think booker has a better chance to show up as a leader more than KD
He’s the first option buddy
He’s always been the first option
if he's "the guy" he would have folded Westbrook in their OKC years especially on 2012.
But nah, he's too weak.
Buddy whenever he was the first option he failed
KD already said he doesnt want to be a leader🤣🤣like he doesnt have to be the most vocal to be a leader and your being serious whos really the leader of the gsw its draymond like stop that dumb narrative
Kd is having a great season on both sides of the ball! Funny this video comes after they loose to warriors! This is so irrelevant!
facts🤣🤣🤣and the suns owned the series 3-1. these guys just hate on KD
Dude was getting 30+ shot attempts in the playoffs with Russ. He should never have left OKC and I think he would have got at least one chip there.
nope he wouldnt because they werent making the right moves and didnt wanna sign harden and they loved russ more than kd. when lbj left for the same reason because the cavs didnt acquire guys no one said nothing but when its kd now its a problem clowns
Once again another lier he has never took 30 shots a game in a playoff series in okc dude you dudes be lieing his average in okc is 20 shots per game in playoffs not 30 u dudes just b making shit up without research casual talk
yall be lying for no reason
You did KD dirty saying JT is his young self 🤦🏻♂️
I’m sure you probably put the “but nobody listened” as click bait 😅
KD is top 10 or top 15 of all-time ? What !
Kd isn’t even greater than Isiah Thomas Isiah has two rings on a team he lead and dropped 45 points on injury in a close out finals game KD hasn’t done anything that epic
@@jaywbell2002kd dropped 48… thats more than 45 😂😂😂 in a closeout game and averages more points in elimination games in the playoff and that was after he tore his achilles 😂😂😂
Put context behind your points, the video is entertaining and follows the national narrative tho. Also funny right after a loss.
Durant had another top 75 player for years. Made 1 Finals. Not saying either team would've beat them but what if Kawhi Leonard didn't get hurt in Game 1 of 2017 WCF? They were blowing the Warriors out in the 3rd quarter. 2018 WCF the Rockets were up 3-2 before Paul got hurt. Thats why 2019 when KD got hurt, i didnt want to hear it since they benefitted mightily the 2 previous seasons from injuries
Kd had another top 75 player fool he made a finals at age 23 and after that up until 2016 he was either hurt or Westbrook was hurt u dudes use 0 context shit is sad and since u bringing up injuries what happened 2021 when kd was about to win a ring but his team was hurt what about 2023 his suns team was hurt what about 2013 2014 2015 when his teams was hurt so stop with the would’ve could’ve should’ve shit we can do that for every player actually learn to talk basketball
@melorileytv3408 what about 2016? Up 3-1 with a full healthy squad, but Curry was banged up. They were up 8 after 3 qtrs but got squashed. Go look up how the great KD shot in the 4th quarter of those final 3 games of 2016 WCF. Hes a great scorer except when the pressure is on apparently
@@SelfResearchedNBAFacts so u bring up 1 series trying to nitpick which means nothing I can tell u series Lebron shot 35% multiple times I can name u series Kobe shot 35% does that mean they not great scorers Kobe choked a 3-1 before Kobe been swept 4 times does that mean he not a great player? Lebron been swept and has played like shit in plenty of series does that mean they not great mj been swept bird has been swept and has played like shit before so has magic Kareem steph literally all the all time greats has played bad in a series actually learn basketball instead of trying to nitpick I dare u to name me 5 series in kd 17 year career where he played bad he is 1 of the best all time playoff performers top 8 all time in points and 3rd in 40 point games only player in history with a 30ppg finals average on 50-40-90 you dudes come on here and say dumb shit
Is weird cuz , it started with lbj, James harden ,kyrie ,kd , the best players in the league all where hard to work with ...
Who is a better scorer from the forward position? Larry Bird. That was easy. He was the bus driver.
Back to back to back MVP when the league had Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajawon, Dominique Wilkins, David Robinson, Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Isaiah Thomas.
Many people claimed the game plan was formed according to Steph not kd
Many people watched that finals and kd was best player on court by far
The league is as real as prowrestling, why should KD pretend?
Like in showbiz, Durant is the lead actor in the movie, the face of it, paid well for it, carry it but never directs it.
5:27 I don't like Harden since I'm a Houstonian and hate the way he bails out on all his teams when the going gets tough, but blaming Harden only for the Nets failure is ridiculous. Did you forget that other guy who didn't play the majority of the season? Yeah, remember that guy that believes the Earth is flat? His name is Kyrie Irving and is the only other player that I would never want on my team other than Harden since he's infamous for going MIA and missing a ton of games for stupid political reasons. TBH, I don't really like Kyrie, Harden, nor Durant despite the fact that he went to my alma mater, because they are all spoiled brats.
Its funny, because bus drivers can drive but doesn't mean they will take you to a championship. If that bus doesn't have the right pieces you can drive all you want.
If the team does not have a driver it does not move. At least with a driver you are moving.

and no one is winning a chip when several starters are injured. steph couldnt make the playoffs when his roster was injured.
@@MatheusTurossiyour point was silly bc you tried to act like he has no impact on winning but the data proves otherwise. thats why the warriors are a dynasty and only won back to back rings with kd. thats why okc only went to the finals with kd and struggled to get out of the 1st round without him. thats why nets went from #1 and #2 team in the east to the playin when he got hurt. he was clearly a driver and winning games. now look at the nets. ppl tried to act like mikal was better than kd 😂😂😂
I know Charles isn't talking?!! He went from team to team towards the end of career, trying to win a 💍🤦🏾♂️
When he was an old man
That's the difference.
He really didn't. Charles was traded to Phoenix and then Phoenix traded him to Houston. He didn't go anywhere through free agency.
To add to what other people said, Charles has said it himself that when he was driving the bus he couldn't get it done. The difference here is that Charles admits to his failings.
@@DerethAC - Exactly. Charles didn't choose those teams. A better analogy to Durant would be if Charles gave up and decided to join Jordan and the Bulls during their run.
Its a shame that you have Larry Johnson, Danny Manning, Dennis Rodman and Derrick Coleman when you are talking about better scoring forwards..when none of them were better scorers than Bernard King..Rodman as a scorer really????? he never average more than 10 pts a game and thats when he was in Detroit
6:15 ahmmm... Tim Duncan
NEWS FLASH!!
LeBron James got impatient left Cleveland as the "Bus Driver" in 2010, then joined the Coattails of Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosch, and Ray Allen in Miami, who had already won a Championship back in 2006. So, Kevin Durant is not the only "Bus Rider".
Durant=Scottie Pippen.

@@hddh3221 Durant carried the Warriors? bitch please
GTFOH lmao. You have to be a hater to even say this. KD led his team to the finals at the age of 23. Scottie never went to a finals series without MJ.

@@rolieg81 Pippen never led a team to the finals as the best player on his team. KD did.

The problem with people is they think being a leader is about controlling people and telling them what to do. The problem also with most of these players not just KD they aren’t good leaders because they worry to much about themselves and aren’t consistent with their character and decisions. Players nowadays care about themselves (Brand) than the success of the team most of the time.
No. Being a bus driver just means caring about something more than yourself. You don't have to own the bus, just have a destination from the start and help push to get your group there.

I believe Larry Bird would be as good a shooter as Durant. And the game is higher scoring now. Bird's PPG isn't quite as high, but he did more work with assists and rebounding.
Would’ve could’ve should’ve

Charles Barkley is the WORST person to push the narrative that KD's a bus rider. The Rockets went through Charles TWICE and the 2nd time Charles blew a 3-1 lead. They won a title both times. Charles joined them a season later. And you cant be a bus rider while being a FMVP twice.
KD, if you can read this ........ Come to New York, win one title in New York on the New. York. Knicks. 1 title. Your name will be praised forever as the best to ever do it. But it has to be New York!
He is a rider, but a very important one. Had he not been hurt in the Finals 5 years ago, the Dubs would have one more title. I do hope he can be the difference that finally brings a championship to Phoenix. Something Charles choked on.
11:04 you wouldn't know it if you let Jordan fans tell the story 😭😭
Anybody with me? I'm getting on the bus. KD to the Thunder; I'm getting on the bus? Anybody with me? KD to the Warriors. Anybody with me. I'm getting on the bus? KD to the Nets. I'm getting on the bus? KD to the ... where's the next stop? Nobody knows.
Basketball in the head of Kevin Durant. What's in it?
In times of trouble, I remember the classic Temptation song: "A BALL of CONFUSION." No wife, no kids, no family.
After all these years, just a luggage bag and some bus tickets for the man who would be king. It's not easy being Kevin, that's for sure.
I am a KD fan, but he is not on my top 15, he barely made it in my top 20, but he is still a good player. he is just not in a Goat level, his only chip is on GSW, thats it, he team up with Kyrie, Harden and now with Booker, no one can argue that he dont have help during his carrier coz pretty much all the teams hes been with are stacked, but he still falls, he will be a legend some day. but not on a top tier.
The only time Kd had played in a system style offense aka offshoot of the triangle offense with high end players he won .
In Brooklyn what was the problem
Steve Nash had no system for them
Think about that squad all those guys played system ball 🏀.
I would have hired a coach with a system conducent to the talent I had while I developed Steve Nash
Steph - Kyrie
Clay - harden
Kd - as himself kD
Green - Blake Griffin
DeAndre Jordan
Tell me what was missing coaching
A system
Kyrie - duke
Kd - Texas
James harden - Arizona state
College basketball is built on systems
Wherever KD has played he has played in a system
Again you have a big 3 in Phoenix what system do they run
I said this before nobody in today's NBA is the top 50 player of all time Kevin Durant might be a top 10 15 player of this era but this era sucks the NBA this era sucks
Old head
Well, if the NBA would quit letting LeBron get away with crying and cheating and giving him everything, Kevin would have beatin lbjay in the championship game but the referees and nba gave LeBron everything over Kevin Durant? And Charles Barkley switched teams two times to win a championship so he needs to shhhh. And what everybody have seemed to have forgotten clay green and curry. Ask Kevin to come play with them. They told Kevin Durant we cannot beat LeBron James without you they asked him and Kevin is a two time champ and mvp and he earned it . He’s just as good as LeBron James no less but a better score. And he is not top 10 what is this guy talking about? He’s right up there with the best top three period!!!
he wasn't shotgun for the warriors chips, but everything looks shacky
Back to back finals mvp sir
He passing the ball like a point guard. They had GP3 guarding him in the post, passing it out
His playmaking ability is gone since hes lost a step so now he is just a 7`` jump shooter. His free throw attempts have been cut in half almost since his prime OKC years because he does not drive to the basket.
But yet since he tore Achilles he has been putting up his best assist numbers in career sir
And then u lied fool in okc he only took 7 ft a game and since then returning from Achilles injury it’s at 6.5 so once again stop coming on yt saying dumb shit and lies you dudes be casuals
It amazes me how if someone who everyone listens to says something. Everybody runs with it! He AIN'T IT! We've already seen it. People today for some reason love lies!
Charles AGAINST IN WARRIORS!
IT'S WRONG. KD IS A RIDER NOT A BUS DRIVER!
Love you, Kev…don’t worry abt all the BS
That is not even a question ofcourse KD is not that kind of a guy he is not that guy he is a pull up jump shooter and that is all he is and yeah he is great at that but that doesn't make you to 20 all time
Ok so if he isn’t top 20 all time name me 20 players with better stats longevity and accolades than kd it’s literally impossible to name 20 but let me see u try u dudes be casuals it’s sad man
pull up jump shooter and thats all? not true.
If KD had any balls he would have left OKC and gone to San Antonio.
3:16 "... those of you who argue that Steph that curryed to 2 rings by kevin durant...""
I see what u did there my boy 😅
I personally think KD is a great player , but sometimes it’s better to be a great team player than searching for all the personal accolades. You’re blessed with talent great enough to play on the NBA stage making boat loads of money … enjoy the ride
U sound dumb
Should've not given up on OKC.
Well he isn't what you would call a bus driver, but does it really matter? This guy made many people enjoy watching him play, and many children start playing basketball. Truly one of a kind tall forward who can score any way you want him to. So what if he never enters a goat discussion. There is only so many people in NBA history who ever did enter. He still had himself a career that will surely have him remembered in years to come.
Dumbest title ever. Literally the first thing everyone thinks of if you’re not a KD Stan.
Facts bro straight hate
It is absolutely better to have comments,or any advices,, to whom has a championship,,.than Barkley's hasn't...
If KD was smart, he'd have just re-signed with the Warriors and kept winning championships.
First of all. The artists were 73-3. They could not beat LB and Kyrie. They needed Durant. They called KD. KD didn’t call them. This bus driver description is incorrect.
a) KD couldn’t beat LeBron without the Warriors
b) The Warriors literally beat LeBron the year before
c) He signed as a free agent, so he clearly wanted to go
d) uhhhhhhh 73-3? I’d check that math
@@jakeclark5007they both benefitted. Opportunity chip for KD. And clearly Draymond and curry felt they needed the best forward scorer in the NBA In kd
Place KD in a situation with talent and a coach he will win you a ship
Imagine him with popovich
I'm just saying
He is a Bus rider not a Bus driver like Barkley said. He is always get off the bus and looking for a new one.
I think this is erroneous, to say Durant cannot be the driver of the bus leading to championship. A lot of things can happen or should happen also to get a ring. Barkley is just a bitter old man who failed on his turn as a bus driver and rider also. GSW without Durant during their games vs Lebron's will be nothing more than ordinary. :Barkley : KG you are borderline Hall of famer, KG : Barkley you are almost a champion
Amazing player, he doesn’t have that dog in him like Kobe, MJ. Not everyone has that inner killer, psychopathic winning mentality. Some players have it for a season or two, some their whole career, some need teammates with it. No knock on his skill, throughout his career you can put him on a court and he’s argument for best player on the court… pretty much any court. Steph Curry is all smiles, but he’s a stone cold killer.
Kd aint a killer but still he comes back from a achilles injury . Hes not a killer hes bn consistent all career ..yall jst type watever . Bn selfish and shooting 30times in a game dts d definition of a killer in your world right ???
why couldnt steph kill kyrie? he blew a 3-1 lead
No. People did pay attention and he got backlash for it
As a Suns fan im missing Mikael Bridges & Cam Johnson.
KD is soft and wont get them to the promised land.
Your weird as fuck and what did bridges and cam get u to did yall win the chip? Shit is sad
You ain't wrong
KD avg 35 &11 in The Finals! Back to Back MVP.. This shit makes no sense
He wouldn't be able to do that without Steph and Klay on the team tho. Steph attracts so much of the defense, leaving KD 1v1 or one of those 2 guys open if doubled. The team was 73-9 the year before. 🤷🏽♂️
…..when he played with Steph in 2017-18
@@hooperslnball still has to go in basketball regardless how open u are😂 you
@@hooperslnand bird wouldn’t have been able to do it without 4 hof magic wouldn’t have been able to do it without 4 other hof Lebron wouldn’t have been able to do it without all the hof he played with I can literally keep going u dudes sound dumb I can nitpick and take away the top guys Lebron bird magic etc played with then tell me the rings they won without stacked teams and by the way curry took more open shots than kd did while he was on gs might wanna do your research before u say dumb shit
Kevin Durant is a great talent and player but has no shown no leadership qualities.
U sound dumb
A good player…ROLE PLAYER….NEVER A LEADER….
Those Warriors teams would have won with or without KD. Heck, I could have joined the Warriors, and they still would have won!
Well if they felt they could they wouldn’t have ran to got him buddy and the players on the team said they wasn’t beating cavs healthy cavs without kd so who word imma take a random like u or actually nba players and since according to u winning rings on a superteam is easy explain to me 2011 finals when it was 3 stars vs 1 and heat was heavy favorites why did Lebron choke? Answer that I’ll tell u why cause games not won on paper dude the games still has to be played no matter what nothing is garunteed and when u fools say shit was easy for kd winning with gs u realize u basically saying Lebron is trash u do realize Lebron also had Kyrie who averaged 30 in the 2017 finals he also had love who averaged 16 the same amount of points as klay did 16 and oh yeah curry was only 26ppg that finals so explain to me how it was easy for kd fool ill wait
What Barkley and this narrator are missing is that Steph and the Warriors never beat Lebron's Cavs team when they were at full strength, in a 7 game finals series without KD. They only time they beat Lebron and the Cavs in the finals, 73 regular season wins or not without KD was the year Kyrie Irving and KLove missed nearly the entire series with injuries. You can debate that who was the bus driver and who was the rider garbage, but they won playing together as a team and neither KD or Steph would have beat the Cavs at full strength without the other.
The only person that is a forward that could be consider a better scorer is LeBron. Just because the ppg is the same and he has more all time points. But he is a better shooter for sure
Nobody still paying him no mind. Y’all know Kevin is everything that is why yall keep naming him in videos for views ..yall are fans
He better get used to being second.
The Kyrie slander in tthis video is WILD
Kyrie in the last decade has been WILD
@@jakeclark5007 The only place you could really say that is in Cleveland.. He was young and a little too egotistical. That's like 75,% of the NBA.. In Boston. He was injured when they made the run to the ECF and the young bucks there didn't think they needed him anymore. Bad chemistry as a result. Brooklyn... He was made en example out of bc he didn't want to get the jab. Dallas... No issues outside of trying to figure out how to make it work. Has nothing to do with him not trying.
@@Urban_Paradise Dallas has been great, no argument there
@02:30 about Steph, he is NOT really that good playing without the ball, as a PG, because he does NOT get many assists. As a PG, he should, and could, be getting many more assists per game. At least 8 assists per game. (I love Curry, he is greatest 3-point shooter. But considering he only averages low 20's at his best, in PPG, he could be dishing out many more assists per game. Especially when playing with epic shooters such as KD and Klay.) Although in 2014-2015 he did get 7 APG.
He gets ton of the Hockey assists he doesn't care about being the last person to pass the ball for the assist he moves the ball and draws people with his gravity
No I can't agree with that because Kevin Durant average the same many shots he did when he was with OKC so I can't see where his role decrease or increase then if this your argument him and LeBron the same but the difference will be LeBron asked to go to Miami and Golden State begged KD to come to Golden State
I mean what does he want out of life? He earned the right to go to Golden State by arguably being the best player on Earth. He wasn't bus riding....how many people would have been given that spot? Maybe just him. He should have taken that opportunity to evolve his game. When you don't have to carry the team every night you can let injuries heal, you can try different practice techniques, you can experiment with your mental prep, your fitness routine. His fragile ego torpedoed his career. Just like Kerr said, Jordan evolved. KD hasn't.
People comparing KD to Larry Bird need to stop. Larry Bird would ABUSE HIM.
Cause u said so? U dudes be casuals
Greatest Bus Rider of All Time
No everyone agreed with Barkely the moment he said it
he really is a GSW Bus Rider.
If Charles joined MJ or Bird or the Pistons "EARLY" on his career, idiotic fans wont clown him for not having 1.
GSW could have the easiest and lightest 3-peat if not for injury.
Your a casual no ring is easy to win games not won on paper I recall in 2011 when it was 3 stars vs 1 and heat was heavy favorites and Lebron choked so stop with the “easy” bs u dudes don’t know basketball at all shit is sad
KD is a hired gun
No offense to the man but he isn't anywhere near 2nd. Let alone first. Dude can score the ball but of cpurse he van when he can shoot over every1 except centers. His choices ruined his legacy in fans eyes. Just opinions though. Kawhi,steph,lebron,giannis all give it to KD OFTEN. Kawhi destroys him everytime.
yhh for you hating lbj fan boys 😭😭he never ruined his legacy in my eyes he was called upon to do a job and he did it and yall mad🤣🤣🤣but if he had failed yall would clown him right get off your knees
@@hddh3221if he would’ve lost they would be saying lebron beat GS with kD 😂..can’t have both ways
Kd is 20-17 vs kawhi in career 13-9 in playoffs kd is 28ppg 8 rebounds 4 assist 1.2 blocks kawhi is 19ppg 7 rebounds 2 assist 0.5 blocks so once again u straight up lied for no reason kd is also 21-15 vs steph in career and is 3-1 vs him this season kd in those games for career vs steph has better stats also so once again u lied he also has winning record vs Giannis and winning record vs Lebron in finals so u lied dude u dudes be casuals
Thanks for pointing out how many times he was second in MVP voting which just proves how many times the media has really robbed him. And your source about KD being a bus rider comes from Barkley whose job is to say the most outrageous things to get views generated. Everyone who plays the games and steps on the court with KD knows who he is which was the best player making the toughest shots in those two championships. It’s understandable that Warriors generate the biggest revenue for the league and Curry is behind it but it doesn’t mean we were blind from witnessing KD pulling up and busting all over. You can keep telling yourself stories from TNT whose only job is to generate views and believe it. But I do agree on many points you made.
Preach bro I watched those finals and it was kd hitting all contested shots outside of game 1 where he had 1 or 2 wide open fastbreak dunks the rest of his buckets was literally isolation heavy contested shots he was bailing them out especially in clutch dudes be tryna rewrite history and lie like guys like me and you didn’t watch the games 😂
