Veteran NBA analysts Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith are usually painted as the culprits for this shift in basketball coverage. Despite that, Bayless recently claimed that Durant feels like 'semi-retired' to him, sticking to his ruthless brand of criticizing the top players in the NBA.

Kevin Durant has never been one to shy away from sharing his feelings on anything or anyone on social media and that continued Sunday night when he took a shot at Skip Bayless after the longtime instigator made a claim about Durant's career.

Bayless praised Durant for putting up “tremendous” numbers in averaging 26.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists in his second season with the Suns, but concluded the video by saying, “And now, to me, as gifted as he is, Kevin is just going through the motions and the Suns have set.”
