Charles Barkley was one of the people questioning Durant's ability to be a "bus driver," voicing his opinion that those Warriors teams were still Stephen Curry's, despite that Durant was winning the Finals MVP awards.
"Before KD gets that great respect from all the "old heads," he's going to have to win a championship as the 'bus driver,' said Barkley.
"He joined that team that already won a championship, no disrespect, that's just a fact," added Barkley.
New Orleans Pelicans' star C.J. McCollum defended Durant on Monday in response to Barkley, which is when Durant caught on the Barkley's latest comments and responded to them.
Brooklyn Nets superstar called out Barkley on Twitter, calling his comments a terrible analogy and calling Barkley "hatin' old head".
"All this sh*t is nasty, another terrible analogy from a hatin' old head that can't accept that we making more bread than them," wrote Durant. "It's just timing Chucky, don't hate the playa."
It's not the first time Durant and Barkley had comments about each other. They had another feud back and forth in April.
Durant posted stories of Charles Barkley on Instagram from his Houston Rockets days with the caption, "Where would the chuck be without homies".
