As expected, Thursday's episode of NBA on TNT focused on the blockbuster trade that sent James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets to form a scary trio with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Charles Barkley revealed his first impression about the league's newest Big 3. Sure enough, the straight-shooting TNT analyst offered his skepticism right away.

Per Chuck, the Nets superteam might face some issues moving forward considering Durant is the only unselfish superstar on that roster.

“The only one of those three guys that has proven to me that he is not selfish, and not a me guy is KD. KD went to Golden State and he sacrificed. James Harden and Kyrie Irving have never shown me that ‘I just want to win, that's the most important thing'. Those other guys just care about their numbers. I don't think they will make that sacrifice. They will get less shots”.

As absurd as The Chuckster's remarks sound most of the time, he is surely on point on this one. The Nets now has three of the most explosive scorers in the league in one team.

Kyrie Irving and James Harden are no doubt amazing players in their own right, having won an NBA championship and an MVP award, respectively. However, it's clear as day that Kevin Durant is still the best among the three, not to mention the most accomplished.

KD has taken flak in the past for that move to join the powerhouse Warriors team. But it did speak volumes about his ability to adapt and still be successful. The same cannot be said for Irving and Harden at the moment, considering both have been known as iso-heavy players for most of their careers.

Apart from Sir Charles, his broadcast colleague Shaquille O'Neal also lambasted Harden earlier in the broadcast. The Nets will be hoping their new big three can guide them to the NBA Finals. That's if Irving decides to eventually play though.
