Inside The NBA fired back at Kevin Durant in hilarious fashion.
Earlier this week, Charles Barkley took a shot at Durant by saying that Brooklyn Nets was a “bus rider” and not a “bus driver” when he won his championships in Golden State.

“I don’t want to badmouth the dude,” “You guys always talk about that championship stuff. I try to tell y’all. All these bus riders. They don’t mean nothing to me. If you ain’t driving the bus, don’t walk around talking about you a champion.
“If you riding the bus, I don’t want to hear it. All these guys walking around with championship rings, y’all bus riders. When you the bus
driver and you’ve got all that pressure where you have to play well or you’re gonna get the blame. That’s a different animal.”
Durant responded to Barkley’s criticisms in an Instagram post on Tuesday morning.
