Monday marked the premiere of a new morning show on ESPN called Get Up. Charles Barkley, who made an appearance on the new show, offered his two cents about the supposed heel turn that Kevin Durant has undergone since signing with Golden State in 2016.
In response to a question from host Michelle Beadle, Barkley gave his trademark honesty that makes him endearing and also (occasionally) gets him into trouble.
“Well you know Kevin is interesting because he used to be one of the nicest nicest guys in the world,” Barkley said. “And when he went to Golden State, he’s trying to prove something to people I think … it seems like when people turned against him, he let it really affect him and he’s turned into a totally different person.”

It’s clear KD is a follower and a real sucker deep down inside, he was the nice guy now trying to play the bad boy
we always call out complex for having awkward hosts but man…you gotta give it to pierce simpson
The biggest snake in nba history and lebron also had a superteam when he started winning. Both trash
Warriors in fo
Probably because he’s tired of being called a “snake” for making a business decision
Nah he morphed into a whole 'nother species, ole snake ass
Crazy coming from Charles Barkley 😒
nnaaaaahhh KD been saying n doin dumb shyt. shyt he said about Dwayne wade back in the day made me b on the look out 4 his fukkery
It’s still fuck that nigga KD
It’s coz he’s hanging around with Draymond Green, and he’s a prick! People influence others behaviour.
I don’t think he’s different at all
KD wants people to like the decision but no real competitive hooper or fan will ever. Warriors 73-9 KD up 3-1 on them then choke and join them 🤨. KD is the Greatest scorer I ever seen 💯 but he did a lame move and that’s why he not comfortable out here.
Nah he still need a brush
wheres everday struggle?
well……DUH
same thing i though when i saw chuck wearing a dress
What Chuck got to say doesn't take away from him being the best basketball player in the world. He's the reason why LeBron will not win another one.
KD is tryna act all hard and shit when he joined an OP team. He’s a pussy ass bitch at heart, hope he continues to get the hate he deserves.
Lmao the description says KD underwent a heel turn 😂😂 someone at Complex be watching WWE.
Kd a better person. He seems a lot nicer and happier than before. But at the same time he’s more aggressive
Ooooh my god, ruzzel wesbruuuk. SSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Nah. KD said in one interview in his 3rd or 4th year that he is tired of being treated as a nice boy that NBA drew for him when he got drafted. He said he wanted to be himself which is a bad ass person so he can get some advantage on the court. If your image is "nice" you can hardly play in this league.
He's been around Draymond too much
My nigga tryna repeat but the best players are injured. This is causing games against easier teams to be much harder. Is he supposed to be happy?
Na he was always this guy. We just didn’t see it until he won he lotto
People get tired of the bullshit criticism day after day. Sooner or later that "Nice shit" goes out the window. They need to leave the man tf alone and let him do his job.
Snake gon be snake. 🐍
That's what a ring does Chuck
