Kendrick Perkins says Warriors’ Draymond Green isn’t scoring enough, Draymond Green says Kendrick Perkins is ugly
Playoff Draymond Green appeared in game 6 with the Memphis Grizzlies. The Golden State Warriors forward then took a break from basking in the bright light of a 14-point, 15 rebound, eight-assist performance to address comments made by ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins about his 24 aggregate points in the first five games of the Grizzlies series.
Via NBC Sports:
“Something came to my phone earlier,” Green said in his post-game press. “Some people say that I am afraid of shooting basketball. Fear and I in the same sentence are brutal. But you have a big elf on TV talking about what Draymond says is not the gospel. That is the gospel. What I say is the gospel. When you say it over and over on a number of different passages, you must think what I’m saying is the gospel. So sometimes you have to go out and close some people. When you get people talking out of their necks. ‘Anyone can make the pass that Draymond does.’ That is stupid.”
Perkins’ war of words that began with Green is ongoing First after Game 5 to imply that he could get out of his chair and cause more offensive behavior in the Warriors lineup than their mechanical keyboard forward.
“I’m sitting here watching all the sales. He didn’t even look at the basket.
“He is afraid to shoot right now. So with some of the support he got for Steph Curry, Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson, I could go out there and get the same support. They are open. ”
Understandably, that analysis would bother Green, who has never been the type of player whose value is shown in the scores and who has no idea how his worth is perceived outside of Golden State.
Leaving his own devices on Friday night after he came across Green’s press conference comments, Perkins posted a social media introduction to Green’s “goblin” digger. His answer was a bizarre, juvenile hemorrhagic fever. Instead of responding to the jabs of his career in the NBA, where he’s seemingly gone crippled up to this point, Perkins played the victim, dragging his wife into the mix to prove it his uhh… attraction and concludes with his calling Green UGLY.
“Hey Draymond, let me let you do a little something, man, all that elves, whatever you say I look like, man, you’re not cute,” he said. . “You’re not handsome man, you better thank that NBA logo, you better thank Jerry West. I’ve been with my wife since 10th grade, coin pre-NBA, so don’t make it complicated. ”
Perkins probably pressed sending feeling as if he were Kendrick Lamar walking out of the booth. In fact, that would be silly for a 40-year-old man with backgrounds like First and Today’s NBA at her disposal to shoot back as Mean Girl.
Before the end of that taping, Perkins should have gone out and touched some grass. I’m sure he had dozens of texts on his phone telling him he had to shoot back ASAP, but he inadvertently made himself sound more like a joke. I don’t know if Perkins is self-conscious about his appearance, but a beaten dog will squeal.
The NBA’s most baffling man used Perkins’ comments as fuel, and Perkins plunged into another battle. That’s Perkins’ role. And as we’ve learned from his NBA career, he plays his role brilliantly. Big Perk was a low-profile club defender in his playing career, tasked with keeping the door open and protecting the stars he got the chance to play with. Since moving into the media field, he has become the antagonist of his former teammates and several active players.
In recent weeks, he has received a rebuke from the wife of former teammate Russell Westbrook. You can edit all the times Kevin Durant had problems with Perkins’ scenes. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s family was devastated because Perkins called Giannis, Robin by Khris Middleton.
His value at ESPN does not lie in his insights or thoughts on smoking. He’s not a leprechaun. He’s like a media troll, there to get reactions from players and then eating that fodder to create more content for their studio shows. We’ll find out how successful he is as he and Stephen A. are bumping their gums on Monday to milk their self-sustaining drama for all that’s worth it. price.
