Perkins vs. Barkley: “He attacks Durant out of jealousy”
Perkins defends Kevin Durant from Charles Barkley’s constant criticism: here are the words of the ESPN analyst
Kendrick Perkins also intervenes in the discussion between Kevin Durant and Charles Barkley. The current ESPN analyst defends his former Thunder teammate (between 2012 and 2014) from the criticism of the NBA legend, who often accuses KD of not being open to criticism.
We’re talking about the greatest scorer the NBA has ever seen. KD led the Thunder to the Finals, as Barkley did with the Suns and then added to Olajuwon’s Rockets, but couldn’t win. Durant did it and had much more pressure considering he played with Curry and Thompson

Perkins, in highlighting his clear stance, despite having expressed himself critically towards KD in the past, also emphasizes a secondary and more subtle aspect of Barkley’s regular attacks on Kevin Durant.
It’s just jealousy on Chuck’s part, otherwise I don’t understand why he always has to bring up KD’s name. I’m on his side.

Barkley’s latest attack on Durant came last month: Kevin Durant responded sharply on Twitter, silencing Chuck. Will it be the right time?
