Kevin Durant’s decision to leave Oklahoma City is what it is. He was a free agent and has every right to exercise all that comes to him by way of being unrestricted. But it’s the fact that he chose a stacked Warriors team; one that just defeated him and has already won a title without him.
No surprise, but Charles Barkley didn’t like Durant’s decision to join the Warriors. Chuck was critical of LeBron’s decision to head to South Beach six years ago, and you could argue what Durant did was even more egregious. Here’s what he shared on ESPN’s Mike and Mike:
“Kevin is a terrific player, he’s a good kid. But just disappointed with the fact that he weakened another team and he’s gonna kind of gravy train on a terrific Warriors team. Just disappointed from a competitive standpoint. Because just like it meant more to LeBron to win one in Cleveland, it would mean more to Kevin to win one in Oklahoma than it would be in Golden State.”
