Charles Barkley doesnt like that Kevin Durant is jumping on the Golden State Warriors gravy train to win a title and said he doesnt feel like a bum because he didnt cheat his way to one in his career.Durant chose to sign a two-year deal with the Warriors this week after nine seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder that netted him seven All-Star Games, one MVP and one NBA Finals appearance but no championship.I was disappointed. I was disappointed like I was disappointed when LeBron went to Miami, Barkley said on ESPN Radios Mike & Mike on Wednesday. Kevin is a terrific player. Hes a good kid. But just disappointed with the fact that he weakened another team and hes gonna kind of gravy train on a terrific Warriors team. Just disappointed from a competitive standpoint. Because just like it meant more to LeBron to win one in Cleveland, it would mean more to Kevin to win one in Oklahoma than it would be in Golden State.Barkley played 16 seasons in his Hall of Fame career with the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets. He was an All-Star 11 times but made the Finals only once, in his 1992-93 MVP season, losing to Michael Jordans Chicago Bulls in six games.Barkley headlines a long list of NBA greats who have never won a championship -- players such as Elgin Baylor, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Patrick Ewing, Dominique Wilkins, George Gervin, Allen Iverson and Reggie Miller. Barkley, who is now a TNT analyst, said he doesnt think it makes them lesser players.We develop this thing where you keep telling these guys, Hey man, if you dont win a championship, youre a bum. I dont feel like a bum, he said. Im pretty sure Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone and John Stockton -- we think were pretty damn good. We could have played with some of those other guys and kind of cheated our way to a championship. But there is this thing that started with this new generation where these guys feel so much pressure. Everybody wants to win.Im a big Chris Paul fan. Im sure Chris Paul wants to win a championship. And he could, when his contract is up, go join one of these superteams and get a championship. But it wont be the same as leading your team where youre the bus driver instead of the bus rider.Barkley did demand to be traded twice in his career in attempts to improve his chances to win a title, leading to moves from the 76ers to the Suns in 1992 and from the Suns to the Rockets in 1996. Houston won back-to-back NBA titles before his arrival, and Barkley spoke openly of his desire to play with the Rockets big stars before he was traded to Houston.The best thing about it would be getting the chance to play with Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. We would be very formidable, Barkley said in July 1996, a month before he was dealt.Durant will join two-time MVP Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala, a core that won 73 games in the regular season but lost in the NBA Finals to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team Durant leaves, the Thunder, had the Warriors on the ropes in the Western Conference finals, leading 3-1 before dropping the last three games.The Thunder are now left wondering if they are good enough to win it all and whether they should consider trading superstar Russell Westbrook before he can leave as a free agent after next season.Barkley doesnt like this whole process.Were gonna have guys on bad teams making $25 million a year. And were going to have three or four competitive teams, Barkley said. Thats the negative of LeBron going to Miami, KD going to Golden State.First of all, the fans love their teams, they love sports. But theyre not going to go see Sacramento, Indiana, Miami, these bad teams where guys are making 10, 20, 30 million dollars a year and they dont have a chance to compete. I mean, thats where were going. Were going to kill the golden goose. Everybodys going to be making a lot of money, but other than five teams were going to be putting a shabby product out there. Thats whats going to kill the NBA in the next few years in my opinion.

CINCINNATI -- Dan Straily has proved to be a valuable commodity on the mound and in the clubhouse for the Cincinnati Reds.Straily, 27, was claimed off waivers at the tail end of spring training, becoming the third team to own his rights in a one-week period.He initially was slotted as a long reliever, which at the time the Reds were desperate for quality arms in the bullpen. He produced a 3.24 ERA in three relief appearances, all of more than two innings.But injuries in the rotation created an opportunity for Straily and he has taken full advantage.The performance has been sensational when you consider how we got him, manager Bryan Price said. He was going to be a long man and became really our most consistent starter from the beginning of the season to date.Straily will start Fridays series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Great American Ball Park. He pitched seven shutout innings on Sunday in a 1-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers, allowing only three hits with a walk and four Ks in a no-decision.On Friday, Straily will make his 21st appearance and 18th start of the season. Hes 4-6 with a 4.07 ERA, numbers that arent indicative of how well he has pitched.Opponents are hitting only .212 against him, the 10th-best mark in the National League. Hell be looking for his fourth straight quality start against the Diamondbacks in his first encounter with them.But what has impressed Price most about Straily is how he has impacted those around him in the clubhouse, where he has been a positive influence on Cincinnatis young pllayers who are part of an ongoing rebuilding process.ddddddddddddStraily has been wonderful, not just as a performer, his paramount responsibility, hes also been a great guy on the team, an excellent teammate, Price said. Hes totally invested in the preparation stuff, the video, the advance reports, really a consummate pro. A fun guy to have on the team.On Friday, Straily will be opposed by right-hander Archie Bradley, who pitched six innings in each of his past four starts but went 0-2. He allowed only one earned run in his last outing, but it was a no-decision against the Dodgers.At some point this weekend, the Diamondbacks hope to set a rehab schedule for ace Zack Greinke, who is trying to come back from a left oblique strain. He threw 20 pitches off the mound on Wednesday inside Chase Field. He threw long toss on Tuesday.Its just a bad injury where you have to wait for it to heal before doing stuff, Greinke told the Arizona Republic. Just used to having stuff bothering you all the time and just going through it still. But with this one, you cant do that or else it gets worse.Cincinnati will be looking to reverse recent history against the Diamondbacks beginning Friday night. The Reds went 1-6 against Arizona last season, their lowest victory total against the Diamondbacks since 2002.Arizona has defeated Cincinnati five straight times overall and five straight times at Great American Ball Park.
