This is not the first time Durant and Barkley had an altercation. Last Year, KD called Barkley a “hatin’ old head” after the latter’s criticism of Durant
Ever since Durant came to Golden State, Chuck has been taking jabs at the future Hall-of-Famer. When he won chips with GSW, Barkley questioned his legacy. Then, when KD signed with the Brooklyn Nets a few years ago, Barkley criticized KD for failing to carry the Nets in the playoffs.

Chuck vs KD: Did Charles Barkley just prove his point?
Many basketball fans have agreed with sir Charles, although he is disagreeable at times. They believe that with his constant criticism against Durant, he’s got under the Slim Reaper’s nerves. This goes to prove Barkley’s previous statement that Durant is afraid of being criticized.
Moreover, Barkley is living rent free in Durant’s head. And, with KD always trying to clap back, it seems that he is the one getting slammed. As we all remember, KD’s decision to team up with the Golden State Warriors in 2016 was considered the weakest move in basketball. As much as we hate to say it, that has since tarnished KD’s legacy. Even after winning 2 championships with Steph Curry, most people think it does not count and that he has to win his own rings, for his own team.
