The beef between Charles Barkley and Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant continues.
Barkley, an NBA analyst for TNT, has been critical of Durant over the years – while acknowledging his greatness – questioning the path Durant took toward winning two championships with the Golden State Warriors.

Durant has clapped back on social media and through the press, saying he doesn’t require Barkley’s approval.
KEVIN DURANT 'PART OF THAT GENERATION WHO THINK HE CAN'T BE CRITICIZED,' CHARLES BARKLEY SAYS
And now Durant is getting on Barkley for calling him "very sensitive."
"This ain’t gettin tiring chuck?" Durant posted to Twitter. "I’ll never respect the words that come out ya mouth fam just deal with it."
Durant was responding to a clip from a recent sit down between Barkley and "60 Minutes" on CBS, where Barkley was asked for his thoughts on the 13-time All-Star.
"He's very sensitive. Great player," Barkley said of Durant. "He's part of that generation who think he can't be criticized. He's never looked in the mirror and said, 'Man, was that a fair criticism?’"
