"Giannis Antetokounmpo went from Robin to the most dominant player in the league?": NBA Twitter cannot handle Kendrick Perkins and his drastic change in opinion about the Bucks superstar

NBA Twitter cannot believe how fast ESPN Analyst Kendrick Perkins changed his statement about Bucks’ superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo

Being an analyst is not an easy thing. It requires an in-depth knowledge of the game, and the ability to engineer probable outcomes if certain changes are made.

An example of the same is when Kendrick Perkins called 2x MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo ‘Robin’ to Khris Middleton’s Batman. Fast forward to yesterday, barely 2 weeks after his initial statement, Perkins was seen calling Giannis Antetokounmpo ‘the most dominant player in the NBA’.

It is one thing to omit your past views and change them to something else. However, when you change your views as drastically as this, that too on National Television, you are sure to be called out. After the video of Kendrick Perkins calling Giannis ‘the most dominant player in the league’ came out, NBA Twitter could not contain itself.

There were quite a lot of people who called Perkins out on him flipping his opinions 180.
