Chuck Responds to Kevin Durant's Instagram Posts | NBA on TNT 

People are missing Chucks’s point I think. All he is saying is that when you’re the bus driver it’s ultimately on you. The blame will never fall on the bus riders

“The god who sit at home. With a play in banner.” Chuck will always be undefeated.

“Kenny, no disrespect. You not in this conversation!” “Yes I am.” “No you not.” 🤣🤣🤣

*Charles "When I was a Bus Driver, I didn't win anything just like him (KD)"* all Facts! no Fiction. Respect to Sir Charles.

Shaq saying he don’t like people messing w his older brother made me smile

Charles Barkley doesn't need Instagram, Twitter or even Facebook. He's a platform in itself.

"You think they put that play-in banner up already?" Chuck for the WIN! 🤣🤣

“We’re G14 classified” was a nice way of telling Kenny to keep going to the back of the bus 😂

There’s a great self awareness that Chuck has had since he’s retired. He’s reconciled his missed competitive opportunities and moved on with life in probably the best manner a retired great could.

“At home with a play-in banner” 😂 Chuck is the GOAT

Chuck is spot on. When the Warriors lose everyone blames/d Steph for it, even though it isn’t his fault. When KD was with the Warriors he had a free pass. He was completely blameless and that is what Chuck was saying. Steph was at the forefront and was and still is the leader for the Warriors. Now KD is control of Brooklyn, he is the bus driver there.

Chuck keeps it TOO REAL. Some people can’t stand it, BUT I LOVE IT! Even his admission of not being able to sit at “the table “ is beyond honest and real. 💯

KD “An army of producers against the god…Just another Tuesday” Chuck “You mean the god who’s sittin at home with a play in Banner…”

This bus driver line has been killing Kenny since Chuck dropped it a few days ago, it resonates deeply with him and how he got his 2 rings

Chuck is a champion in life. People love him championship or not. He’s also arguably the most loved former NBA player of all time 👏🏽✊🏽

My heart warmed up when Shaq called Chuck his older bro ....and big bro protected his sensitivity ....all round life lessons.

“Had a good day, good peleton ride today, got the wordle in 3” Ernie Johnson, a man of simple pleasures

When Chuck said ..."Kenny you're not in this conversation." I lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This line of bus drivers has been killing Kenny 🤩😘🤔

“When I was the bud driver I didn’t WIN anything like him” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

“You ain’t in this conversation!” Chuck is a treasure.

Shaq got that brother mindset "I can make fun of my brother but you can't"💀🐐

Kenny should realize that being a "bus rider" doesn't mean you weren't a valuable contributor to the team. Every championship team needs "bus riders"; every superstar needs good role players. Players who can recognize when they're not the bus driver, and set aside their ego to play a supportive role to the actual bus driver are incredibly valuable and needed for a championship contender. The point Chuck is making is that KD hasn't led a team to victory. The Warriors had already proven they could win a title and had posted the best regular season in history by the time KD joined them. They were already a championship team who KD piggy-backed on to win his titles.

2:24 “Kenny no disrespect, you’re not in this conversation.” “Yes I am.” “No you not. No you’re not. No you’re not. No.” 😡🤣🤣🤣😁👍🏼 Chuck🤴🏾having to remind again Kenny who he really is not who he thought he was all those years ago. And Shaq agreed again 3:38😁👍🏼.

"Sensitive Cindy." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Charles Barkley is too great. 🔥

Dang, I wanted to actually hear Shaq’s and Chuck’s opinion on KD’s tweets and Kenny had to go out with these mental gymnastics and end up getting flamed 😆

4:14 kenneth: "to me that doesn't make sense, to me" Chuck: "that's why you not in the conversation" factssss

Kenny speaking from a bus riders perspective. Shaq and Chuck as bus drivers knew it was get your team to the chip or everyone gonna be lookin at the driver on why they ain’t make it.

When I was a bus driver I didn’t win anything just like him - Charles Barkley

2:46 Charles Barkley screaming “You say it every week!”😂😂😂

I love that Chuck loves these kinda confrontations ... And I love even more how he purposely and nonchalantly gets under Kenny's skin. He's seriously the best, and anyone that thinks otherwise is an idiot.

Jet- you didn’t win a championship! Chuck- YOU SAY IT EVERY WEEK ! Love watching these guys !!😂😂😂

"You mean the god that's sitting at home with a play-in banner?" is legendary.

Kenny: "like hakeem always say to me" Chuck: "kenny bring me some water" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Man Chuck has absolutely no problem in voicing his opinion and such humility to not take Kenny’s “participation” trophy. He knows the level of which he is at and is humble about it. Gonna miss him when he retires no one else is going to risk slander like him! Look at how much dialogue he has created off of one take on KD. We need more talking like this it helps the world

In a weird way KD asked for this, Chuck is spot on. In Golden State everyone knew it was Stephs team, he was the driver. KD might have scored the most points but stephs movement off the ball and unselfish nature allowed KD to be KD. By leaving Golden State and going to the Nets, he prioritized driving the bus over winning more rings. This is what comes with the territory. It's what Lebron and Steph have dealt with for the last decade or so. Is it harsh? Maybe. But it's the truth. You're 3 years into this project. You got swept in the first round. This was what you wanted, your own team. Now drive the bus.

Kenny's soul was injured by Chuck's bus driver analogy and it still shows. 😂💀

This aged like fine wine

Chuck and Kenny are both right in certain areas. Kenny calling Chuck a champion is a little confusing, but the spirit of what he was getting at is that even though he doesn't have a ring he was an honorable, loyal, and admirable competitor, thus the 'champion' mindset, who lost with grace. Chuck, with grace, accepts with great accountability that him not having a ring puts him a step below his contemporaries that have gotten it. But he's very secure with his career that it doesn't bug him, he's realistic. He doesn’t try to aggrandize his career to more than what it was but he also knows he was a an absolute baller, which he was. Highly respect Chuck.

Day 3 of Kenny trying to recover from the bus driver analogy😂

Kenny lost his sleep after that bus driver quote man still talking about that 💀💀😭

I've always wished that people like Chuck would try coaching, assisting, something on a team and win a championship. I know it isn't the same as playing and winning one, but I think he deserves it.

The undefeated Mr. Barkley he was spitting straight up Facts. Some may misunderstood him, hey he is for real tho. This guy bring so much hype in Inside the NBA

Kenny: Can I say something? Charles: No disrespect Kenny your not in this conversation. 😂😂😂😂

“Bus driver means it’s your team”… Shaq put it the best way plain and simple

Man, I sincerely loves these guys! So much genuine entertainment.

The Boston series, and other happenings this season gives me hope that the NBA is getting back to the old NBA. Team driven, well coached, nut up or shut up basketball with no excuses! The young DAWGS this season are feasting on the old guys,not cause they are better, they want it more. Chris Paul is the only exception to this.

Chuck: "when I was a bus driver, I didn't win anything just like KD." 😂

Chuck: "It bothers him. He's sensitive Cindy" 🤣🤣🤣

Kenny really fighting for his life over these internet comments lol.

I’m 23 and I understood Chucks point. How Kenny miss it? 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

Gotta respect Charles Barkley acknowledging he cant sit at certain tables. He knows he's not a champion and he wont act like it even though he is an all time great HOF.

Someone give Kenny a hug. Dude is a broken man after that bus rider comment.

I like how Shaq was about to defend Chuck for a minute. And then Chuck's "You mean the god who's sitting at home with the play-in banner" 🤣🤣

Sometimes in life we do things that we wish we would have done differently. KD probably wishes in hindsight that he didn’t join the warriors. That one decision overshadowed a career full of greatness. One championship in OKC would have meant more than those rings in golden state. I think KD is finally realizing the magnitude of that decision and the impact on his legacy. I think Giannis winning in Milwaukee shined a light on ring chasers. As crazy as it is to say, Giannis will have a greater NBA legacy than KD. Something no one would have ever predicted 2 years ago.

Kenny believes Hakeem wouldnt have won without him, which is completely right: Hakeem carried the team and Kenny brought him water

I love Sir Charles so much man. He is one of my favourite people on the planet. I could listen to him talk basketball for hours on end and I do haha

I Love How Shaq told Kenny he wouldn't understand about being a Bus Driver cause he was never a Team's to Superstar and He is Right. It's a much Different Animal when you're on the Passenger Side or in the Back Seat, Compared to you actually being behind that wheel driving and watching out for every little thing that could and will go wrong.

I like how Shaq said people messing with his older brother and he was serious about it. Shaq and Charles may argue but you come for one of them you come for both of them. I like that.

Chucks point is so nuanced and spot on it’s ridiculous, and can only come from a handful of players in his position. The fact that he is so comfortable in his own skin to give that kind of analysis on a national tv show is what makes that guy a privilege to watch. Never leave us Chuck lol

These fellas are gold champions! Kenny, Shaq, Chuck and Ernie!

Bro all the stuff with chuck and kd is so hilarious from the “yeah” to the James harden all star draft now this😂😂

😂😂”Kenny no disrespect your not in this conversation”. 😂😂

That "bus rider'" comment struck a nerve with Kenny.. just like when Charles said if "Kenny didn't play with Hakeem, he'd be cut." Kenny been holding on to that pain and resentment, ever since. And no Kenny. In basketball mortality, Sir Charles is not a champion, but he's still recognized as basketball royalty, for his great individual accomplishments. And pushing his team's to the brink of championships. However, Sir Charles is most definitely, a champion in life. Growing up poor in Leeds, Alabama. And now creating generational wealth for his family, is how he's a champion, in life. But in basketball on the NBA level.. he's not.

Kenny was saying that Chuck, even without a championship, as a bus driver is a well accomplished player. He was a huge part in team USA dominance. The reason the Sun's made it to the finals and someone in the NBA that was also dominant. He would say the same about Karl Malone.

I love listening to these Guys and i'm not even a big NBA fan, but They are entertaining.

Kenny called Chuck a “champion” hoping Chuck would call him a “bus driver” 😂

Kenny every day fighting for his life on this show 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I love how Shaq just flat out tells everyone what it is for those "casual" fans that don't get it. I also love how Shaq just straight up tells Kenny he's not a part of this. Say whatever you want about Shaq there is one undisputable fact about Shaq that no one can deny. He is the last person to win back to back to back Finals MVP's. He deserves some respect no matter what he says

Perfect example of this... When Jordan retired for the first time. Scottie Pippen was the bus driver. The blame fell on him. In all seriousness. I think Chuck is a champion. No doubt about it.

Another episode of Kenny talking just to talk. Chuck a champion now 🤣

Man Kenny is REALLY in his feelings even Ernie is tired of it

Kenny talking the most and he's the biggest example of a bus rider in the game.

2022 best show period.. Guys keep up the great work..

Finally, thank you Chuck for saying "Kenny you're not in the conversation." We all know that stung him hard but it's true. Chuck is not saying KD ain't great, he's just saying that when KD has been the bus driver, they haven't won rings. And Chuck knows that's true for himself too. Players these days really get so sensitive about criticism. Imagine if MJ let that happen. MJ got mad and got better. Same with Shaq. That's the difference in eras.

KD can take all the petty shots he wants at Barkley, but it won’t change the fact that Barkley is 100% right. KD may have won 2 titles as a mercenary for Steph’s Warriors, but KD has never gotten it done as the bus driver of his own team. That’s true no matter how many Barkley memes he posts.

Cant believe just subscribed to TNT when I've been watching these video repeatedly 🤣

Kenny always has to bring himself into every conversation 🤣

Love how real Chuck is. He doesn't buy the conversation that he is a champion, because he literally does not have the ring to prove it. Others who aren't in the conversation are just in denial.

Chuck fully owning it with "We didn't win nothing there" 💀💀

Just like what Shaq said, the "bus driver" is the leader of the team. KD got his feelings hurt, and also Kenny. 😂

Remember when Kenny tried to joke about being a champion with Chuck, Chris Webber and Reggie on the set? Then Chris said "we carry different responsibilities so don't ever compare yourself to us". He said something like that, I'm paraphrasing. I love how Chris shuts Kenny up. After that I really haven't seen Kenny and Chris in the same room.

“Sensitive Cindy”… lol. I love it

Dale Pidcoe DuBoistown,Pa. What was the first episode of the classic Sesame Street that concluded with the characters on the stairs of the apartment in the morning and The Amazing Mumford's voice announcing the letters and number of the day?

You can tell Kenny has spent the last few days thinking about this lol

Shaq saying ppl messing with his older brother is so wholesome

Ernie is in the convo because he's the bus driver of the best sports show of all time.

1:47 "you think that put that play-in banner up already?" 🤣😂🤣

Kenny is really aggrieved by the bus driver analogy. It really riles him and just cannot let it go. Chuck has got him good with that one🤣🤣🤣

I love how Shaq called Charles his older brother. They argue quite often, but they know they both mean a lot to each other. Especially when they talking about them "bus riders"

0:27 “Oh it bothers him. You know he’s (Kevin Durant) SENSITIVE CINDY.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼 Chuck🤴🏾bringing the truth again.

Man, you can tell Kenny is still butthurt by the bus driver comment 😂

Okay I think we need some definitions here: Bus driver: You are the leader of the team, the number 1 option, and you get the blame when things don't work out. Examples: Charles Barkley on the Suns, Hakeem Olajuwon on the Rockets, Kevin Durant on the Nets Bus rider: You may be a great player, but you are not the leader. You will never get the most blame if things don't work out or the most credit if things do work out. Examples: Charles Barkley on the Rockets, Kenny Smith on the Rockets, Kevin Durant on the Warriors

These guys are comedy!!! There will never be another sports show like this

Chuck is correct & he is self-aware enough to say that as great as he is (top 50 all-time & top 5 in his position), he cant sit at the table with all-greats who led their team to championships, so he's not hating or being biased here. However, I disagree with him qualifying KD as a bus rider. When he joined the Warriors at the time, the Cavs had huge psychological edge over them. They were not a genuine 73 win team, they had massively overachieved in regular season & it cost them in the playoffs, so after that comeback, they would not have beaten them again without him imo. Also, although Steph remained the most important player, Durant became the main offensive threat on that team, so he wasnt just a rider. At worst its a partnership like Shaq & Wade, so the pressure was the same. The fact Steph had won before he got there & gone back to the finals after him puts him higher on the all-time pantheon, but while they were together, he wasnt the alpha and I dont think this resurgence could have been possible without KD, so thats where I think Chuck is being unfair here...

"You mean the God that's sitting home with a play-in banner. Did they put the play-in banners up already?!" 💀🤣🤣🤣

Charles in his career 1. Carried the 76ers franchise after Dr J and Moses retired. 2. Moved to a Suns team that wasn’t anything special and made the finals in his first year. The only thing stopping him being Michael Jordan. 3. Had a small stint on a team with one good year from Hakeem, an often injured Drexler and Pippen who never played well and really just caused issues. Kevin trying to compare anything in Charles’ career to him going to a 73 win team while he and all of their players are in their primes is ridiculous.

If anybody has ever watched "A Bronx Tale" before, perhaps you all can appreciate my Cologero/Durant comp as Curry/Lorenzo drove out to Coney Island while listening to jazz lol.

Charles is one of my favorite players all time. Most ppl on social media never saw him play. KD gotta get Ring as leading man, or he will never be viewed the same by those of us who know what Chuck is saying.

Charles Barkley is a legend 😂😂😂😂
