Phoenix Suns legend Charles Barkley has had several ugly altercations with NBA stars in the past. Over the past few months, Barkley and Suns superstar Kevin Durant have been embroiled in a war of words that doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. The beef took the center stage after Durant’s response to Barkley’s long KD roast on live television a few weeks ago. The media and hoops community have extensively discussed the ongoing beef between the stars. Recently, a former NFL star joined the bandwagon and brought out further layers of the beef. 

This isn’t the first time that Barkley took a shot at KD. He previously called out Kevin Durant for not sticking to a single team. Moreover, he brought up the same debate during his latest KD roast. He said, “He’s very sensitive… He’s part of that generation who thinks he can’t be criticized.” In response to Charles Barkley’s comments, KD took to his Twitter with a strong remark. He said, “This ain’t gettin tiring chuck? I’ll never respect the words that come out ya mouth fam just deal with it.”
