Kendrick Perkins sipping on a refreshing cocktail of xenophobia with a splash of racism this morning on NBA Countdown. He thanked Anthony Edwards on behalf of himself and all the “NBA OGs and old heads who retired and went away from basketball, we are ready to renew our vows and come back to the NBA because he has given us life again being that type of competitor being that type of leader . . .”
I’ll stop here with the verbatim quote because up to this point I assumed he was going to talk about how Ant has never complained about being in Minny, no drama, just worked hard and elevated his team, not demanding trades to join superstars, game not based on flops, etc. A refreshing change from many of our modern superstars.
But it’s Perk, the AK of NBA analysts, so he went into full double down Perk mode and completed the sentence with “. . . we’re in the era right now when the Europeans were looking like they were taking over the game of basketball and Anthony Edwards has stepped up to the plate and said hold up, one second, we’re still here.”
I know ESPN has a long and proud history of sprinkling morons into their broadcasts to help generate controversy and train-wreck gawking, but Perk is below all standards of competence. It’s embarrassing.
Once a pickle, never a cucumber again.
