Kendrick Perkins doesn’t seem to have many friends in the NBA anymore. His work at ESPN seems to have a number of hoopers fed up with him.
One of them, most notably, is Kevin Durant. The two former teammates and friends have been on the outs for months now, but it all came to a head back in January when Perkins told Durant on Twitter he pulled the “weakest move in NBA history” by going to the Warriors.
Durant has been roasting this man ever since. It even got to the point where he called Perkins a “sellout.”
The roast session continued Wednesday during Durant’s visit to the Tea with A and Phee WNBA podcast hosted by Las Vegas Aces’ forward A’ja Wilson and Minnesota forward Napheesa Collier.
The two WNBA stars asked Durant what he thought Perkins’ scoring average during Durant’s 2013-14 MVP campaign was. Durant thought it was 5.4 ppg but…it was lower. And everything took off from there.
The whole exchange was hilarious.
“Durant: No way he averaged less than 4 points per game.
Collier: He averaged 3.4.
Durant: Oh my Gosh…Yo he really averaged 3.5 points a game?
Wilson: That’s a good GPA.
Collier: Less than 3.5.
Durant: That’s terrible.”
The pettiness is palpable. Ouch. Durant called that flat out terrible and then laughed him out of the room. Perkins had it coming, though. He’s been going at Durant for years now — this is just him firing back.
This certainly won’t be the end of the saga. Just wait until Perkins hears this. He’ll probably have a lot to say.
