NFL, MLB, NBA, Los Angeles Angels, Brooklyn Nets

Charles Barkley has some words for Kevin Durant, Taylor Ward's grandmother is a good-luck charm and more from our quotes of the week.

"He gets mad when we say it, he piggybacked on the Warriors to win his first two championships, but if you go back and look at his career, as the best player and being a leader that all goes with that, he's been an abject failure. I mean, every time he's been like the guy who has to be the leader and the best player he has not had success."

"He seems like a miserable person, man. I call him Mr. Miserable, he's never going to be happy."

Barkley, also on Durant. The Brooklyn Nets and Durant recently agreed to "move forward" together after his trade demands

"Yal can sit and don't say nothing but that ain't cool. It's dudes with families out here who haven't got a job because of this KD s---. And to be on and off ain't cool. Blessing Gang"
