Charles Barkley has always been consistent with his take on issues surrounding the NBA. The Hall of Famer wears his feelings on his sleeves and is known for being no respecter of a person’s feelings.
In a recent interview with “Brickley & Marotta” on “Arizona Sports,” Barkley called out Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant, calling him miserable. The statement from the former NBA Philadelphia 76ers forward sent the basketball community into a frenzy.
“Undisputed” host Shannon Sharpe agreed with Charles Barkley’s comments about Durant. He went on to break down various issues surrounding Durant’s insatiable behavior. Sharpe added that, even after a solution is rendered, the 12-time All-Star will always find a way to turn things around and create another problem.
“I agree a lot with what he said [Charles Barkley] said. The reason why he left Russ was to win a title, and when he won a title, he didn’t fulfill it. You know why? Because he was seeking happiness in something else.
“A lot of times people seek happiness in a relationship or cars or money and inside they’re miserable. And when they get cars, they get money, they get into a relationship, they’re still not happy.
“‘You see, Kevin Durant, you’re still not happy. You won two titles. You won two finals MVP. You’re not happy,'” Barkley said. “You went to Brooklyn. You built a team in the image of what you thought was gonna bring you a title, and you’re still not happy.’
“Charles was absolutely right. Kevin Durant will find a way. You give him a solution, he’ll turn around and give you another problem.”
