Our heartiest congratulations to Damian Lillard!

For those that don’t know what that’s for, the man recently went from loving fiancé to a loving husband to Kay’La Hanson, after what was a beautiful wedding.

Even during such amazing times for Lillard though, there will always be NBA fans ready to laugh at his expense. And well, recently one of the page ‘NBA meme’ revealed itself to be one. Here is what they posted.

We’re not saying it’s not funny. Au contraire, it’s pretty funny. But come on man, let the man have some time after getting married before he has to see these memes!

Of course, like us, multiple fans found the joke to be in slightly poor taste. And it seems Kendrick Perkins feels the same way as well.

Kendrick Perkins offers the perfect comeback to NBA Twitter’s memes on Damian Lillard

Big Perk isn’t exactly known for his intricate comebacks or any elite debating skills. But, it seems the man can turn it on whenever he wants to.

How do we know? Well, it seems that the former NBA player so the tweet, and had the perfect response planned for it. Take a look at the tweet below.

For what we’ve heard from him so far, this is definitely a step in the right direction. After all, calling Giannis ‘Robin’ isn’t exactly a move that covers you in glory.

As for the page though, the joke was absolutely funny. But, at the same time, we as a basketball community should perhaps stick to basketball when it comes to these matters. This is a big moment in Damian Lillard’s life. Let’s make sure he isn’t being forced to worry about something else during such a special time.
