Durant started to fight with netizens again. Barkley said on the show: "The trend of alliance grouping is rising because Durant and James, who went to the Peak Warriors, and the other went to the Heat to form the Big Three."
James did not respond, probably preparing for a trip to China, and probably didn't want to pay attention. But Durant was still very interested in this kind of thing. He directly replied: "If you want to play the blame game, then I will choose Bob Myers to take the blame. (Former General Manager of the Warriors)"
The meaning of this is still very clear. It should be that when he went to the Warriors, he was invited by Miles, and it is said that many Warriors players personally came forward to invite him. In the 2016 finals, after the Warriors lost the game, Green immediately called Durant and expressed his willingness to recruit.
It is reported that Warriors boss Lacob, general manager Bob Myers, Curry, Thompson, Green and Iguodala met at Durant's home in Long Island, New York. Curry promised Durant that he would get better shots and that the team didn't care who got more attention, just the number of championships. Green expressed his willingness to join Durant with tears in his eyes, and said that the team would share the responsibility when he encountered resistance. Cole also showed Durant a tactical plan and offered a 2-year, $55 million contract, with the second year as the player option.
In addition, after leaving the meeting, Curry also sent Durant a private text message saying that he didn't care who was the top player in the team. If Durant was the MVP, he would be the first to applaud him. In the end, Durant decided to join the Warriors and signed a two-year contract with the team for $54.3 million, of which the second year was the player option.
It is unknown whether these things were true at that time, but there is no wind or waves, and there is a high probability that they are different!
continued to say that Durant and netizens argued with each other, and the fans responded to Durant: "If you didn't come to an excellent team with MVP and won two championships, your final result would be Charles Barkley."
Adu said: "Brother, you are afraid that you have any misunderstandings, or really don't watch basketball. Barkley is a basketball legend. If you really like basketball, you shouldn't look down on him so much. Barkley is one of the most special athletes in sports history. It is not as embarrassing as you think."
Barkley should be unfortunate because of his peak period, which coincided with Jordan's Bulls Dynasty. Jordan blocked Barkley's road to winning the championship many times in the playoffs. Barkley's famous moment: Game 7 of the 1993 Western Conference Finals: Barkley scored 44 points and 24 rebounds, helping the Suns defeat the Seattle Supersonics 129-121 and successfully advanced to the finals.
Barkley played 16 seasons in his career, scoring a total of 23,757 points, 12,546 rebounds, 4,215 assists, averaging 22.1 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. He won the regular season MVP once, was selected into the NBA All-Star lineup 11 times, was selected into the Best Team 11 times, and was selected into the Hall of Fame.
Durant, like James, is both players who are very controversial in fans. The most common thing is that Durant has not proved himself after leaving the Warriors, and the other is the closed loop of the "Green Formula".
I hope Durant can lead the team to win a championship with the Rockets at the end of his career! This should be the only way to retire, right?
