Austin Rivers: "I don't take anything I said back, so I don't give a. I don't really care, by the way, Patrick Mahomes said yesterday courtside that guy could definitely play in the NFL. I got Brandon Marshall, Saquon Barkley, all these guys call my phone like yo, you know you're right, right? Okay, so listen, if the one guy from Green Bay, who I never heard of, wants to say his little piece or talk, then so be it, man. I don't really give a damn. Is it 30 players? I don't know, it could be 10, could be 12, by the way, I'm only talking two positions, tight end, wide receiver."

Now, in a recent Instagram post, Durant was less reserved in his criticism of Barkley. BasketballNews.com's Etan Thomas posted about Barkley's recent comment that NBA players "deserve some preferential treatment" when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine because of how much they pay in taxes. "Yea, that'll go over well Barkley smh," Thomas wrote in the caption. In the comments, Durant responded: "I don’t know why they still ask for this idiot's opinion."

"I got money from agents when I was in college," said Barkley. "Most of the players I know borrow money from agents."
