The Milwaukee Bucks created history as they won their 2nd championship in franchise history. Giannis Antentokounmpo was crowned Finals MVP for his phenomenal performances during the Finals.
However, during the Finals, former NBA player and now ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins had heavily criticized the Greek Freak and the Bucks. The former Celtics player even went on to call the Milwaukee Bucks the dumbest team in NBA Finals history.
Big Perk was very critical of Giannis during the 2021 playoffs. The ESPN analyst even stated that Giannis was Robin and Khris Middleton was the batman during the Bucks’ series against the Milwaukee Bucks.
However, Giannis would silence all his critics during the NBA Finals, winning the Finals MVP. The 2x MVP and former DPOY had 3 games with at least 40 points during the Finals, joining the ranks of Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’ Neal.
Thus when Rose and Perkins got onto a debate, the former was seen throwing some shots at Perkins for his poor judgment and analysis of the Finals.
