the Brooklyn Nets had a relatively good regular season

but in the postseason the team was a disappointment.

Durant and Irving want a ring together.

Charles Barkley made a recent comment where he pointed to Kevin Durant joining a winning team

to get his NBA Championship ring.

It is not a lie what Barkley says

but it is not true that Durant did not play an important role in winning a back-to-back title with the Warriors.

Barkley’s comment: “…Before KD gets that great respect from all the “old heads”

he’s going to have to win a championship as the “bus driver.”

He joined that team that already won a championship, no disrespect, that’s just a fact
