Charles Barkley called Kevin Durant 'very sensitive' in an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday night, and the Phoenix Suns star may have proven Chuck right by responding in a tweet on Monday morning.

'This ain't gettin tiring chuck?' Durant asked the NBA on TNT analyst. 'I'll never respect the words that come out ya mouth fam just deal with it.'

Following years of contention between Barkley and Durant, 60 Minutes' Jon Wertheim asked the 60-year-old Alabama native about the NBA superstar in the interview that aired Sunday.

'He's very sensitive,' Barkley said. 'Great player. He's part of that generation who think he can't be criticized. He's never looked in the mirror and said, ''Man, was that a fair criticism?''

When Wertheim told Barkley they're in agreement that players are more sensitive nowadays, Barkley responded: 'That would be an understatement.'
