Kevin Duranthas had enough ofCharles Barkley’s criticism.
Durant’s message was part of a quote-tweet that included a video of Barkley calling Durant “very sensitive” during an interview with CBS.
Barkley continued, “He’s part of that generation who think he can’t be criticized. He’s never looked in the mirror and says ‘Man, is that a fair criticism?'”

Barkley and Durant have been trading slights for years since Durant’s rise to NBA stardom, but the two have been especially critical of one another in recent months.
In February, Durantquestioned a quote Barkley attributedto LeBron James during a television segment. “I don’t remember Bron saying this…somebody link me to the article,” he wrote. According to the replies to Durant’s tweet, he may have been correct about Barkley’s mistake.
Durant isn’t the only athlete Barkley is critical of, however. TheNBA on TNTanalyst regularly shares his unfiltered opinions on the behavior of current NBA stars.
During a recent interview with PEOPLE, Barkley spoke about how he sees players wasting money on luxury cars. “Dr. J taught me that a long time ago. He said, ‘Son, don’t waste all your money on cars. Everybody knows who you are.'”

Barkley said he’s noticed NBA players spending “$300,000 on a car, and I’m like, ‘Yo man, everybody knows who you are. You don’t have to show them.'” He added that the hefty NBA checks allow players “to change not just your family,” but “anybody you want to help” financially. “So you’ve got to make sure you use that wisely.”
Alternatively, Barkley warns that with more money, comes more problems. “You have to really, really be careful. It’s interesting, I always sit back and I saw that… Money’s a great thing to have, but it causes a lot of problems in your life. Anytime money’s involved, crazy stuff is going to happen.”
