The second rich line has risen because of me? Durant responded: Since I want to blame, I will choose Myers

NBA legendary star Buckley recently publicly stated on a podcast show that the reason why the league set the second rich line was because James and Durant formed a super team together.

Barkley said: "Why did the league set up a second rich line? Because James brought all his brothers together, Durant ran to the Warriors to play. They wanted to join the team to dominate the league, and they didn't want to compete with each other anymore."

Regarding Barkley's accusations, Durant reposted Barkley's remarks on social media and replied: "Oh, since we are playing the blaming game of shirking responsibility, I will choose Bob Myers as the scapegoat." Bob Myers was the general manager of the Warriors, who created the Warriors' 4-Crown dynasty.

Durant joined the Golden State Warriors as a free agent in the offseason in 2016, and the Warriors won 73 wins last season and just reversed 4-3 in the Western Conference Finals to eliminate Durant's Thunder team. The luxurious lineup formed by Durant, Curry, Klay Thompson and Dream Green, has reached the Finals for three consecutive years and won the championship in 2017 and 2018, while Durant also won two consecutive FMVPs.
