2 Months After Jumping on the Kevin Durant ?Bus Driver? Slander, Shaquille O?Neal Makes Major Suns Prediction

Kevin Durant has been locking horns with the Philadelphia 76ers legend Charles Barkley for quite some time now. The two have called each other out numerous times during interviews and TV shows. But after joining Barkley in taking shots at Durant, it seems like the Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O?Neal has eased on the two-time NBA champion. O’Neal has made a big prediction for the Phoenix Suns heading into the postseason and it might indicate his true feelings about KD.

The beef between Kevin Durant and Charles Barkley started when the latter called him a “bus rider” instead of a “bus driver”, implying that Durant joins teams that are already well-positioned to win championships instead of leading a team on his own. O’Neal has often criticized the two-time champion as well, but that apparently changed on Thursday night.

Shaq with a change of heart toward Kevin Durant

During the ?Inside The NBA? show, the hosts discussed the two teams they?d be picking as a lock to win the championship and a sleeper in the Western Conference. That is when Shaq chose the Phoenix Suns as his “for sure”?team and the Golden State Warriors as his sleeper.

This only goes to show that the 15-time All-Star may have had a change of heart toward Kevin Durant. For him to pick the Phoenix Suns over his former team, the Lakers, might mean that he?s got some love for Durant after all.

KD has been one of the best players of this generation. While he has made some debatable calls over his career, there is no denying his brilliance on the court. O’Neal is well aware of that too and that might be the reason why he chose the Suns to win it all.

Shaquille O’Neal slammed KD on multiple occasions

Shaquille O?Neal had hopped on the Kevin Durant slander train along with Charles Barkley. The four-time NBA champion went on to agree with his co-host and friend on his take about the ?Slim Reaper’.

Shaq went on to take a few more shots at Durant as time went on. He retweeted a clip of Durant sitting down for an episode with ?Boardroom.? That is when the seven-footer referred to himself as the “bus driver“, while cryptically taking another dig at KD.

Shaq tweeted, ?I don?t kno ball, but i kno how to brush my hair,or decide to cut it when i was going bald. love always THE BUS DRIVER.?

Here, the big man very slyly brought up the whole ?bus driver-bus rider? dig that Barkley started out. However, it seems like the Los Angeles Lakers legend believes KD and the Suns are the best in the West. Durant is now part of the fourth-seeded Phoenix Suns team in the Western Conference, who many predict to be the favorites coming out of the West.
