The clash between former Oklahoma City Thunder teammates Kevin Durant and Kendrick Perkins still exists and is making the headlines. Perkins’ comment on Kyrie over NBA return and how he is the main distraction saw Kevin Durant call him a ‘sell out’.
Skip Bayless then weighed into Kevin Durant’s description of Kendrick Perkins as a ‘sell out’, pointing out how Perkins is LeBron biggest ‘PR man’.
A series of tweets from Bayless highlight how Kendrick Pekins has shifted camps, and now speaks out against any and everyone who tries threatening LeBron’s legacy
Almost feels like Kendrick Perkins has joined LeBron’s inner circle as No. 1 PR man/public defender. If KD makes case for Best Player on Planet, Perk attacks him. If Kyrie challenges LeBron as the NBA’s most outspoken racial-justice activist, Perk discredits him as “distraction.”

Kendrick Perkins: LeBron is better than Jordan! (Laughable.) LeBron is the NBA’s greatest athlete ever! (Stop it.) What next, Perk, LeBron is Greatest Human Who Ever Graced the Planet? Where is all this coming from, big fella?

Kevin Durant called Kendrick Perkins a sellout bc for 4 years in OKC, Perk was KD’s enforcer/bodyguard. KD thanked Perk in his 2014 MVP speech. Then Perk played briefly w LeBron and sold out to him. Now KD is the enemy and LeBron is Beyond Jordan. Mav/Rich/Randy/Perk.

Perkins is Always with LeBron
On June 17, Perkins retweeted a tweet from Hoop Central where Perkins marvelled at the athleticism of LeBron James as he … leaped to rim-height to catch a pass before getting fouled. “Most Athletic Player in NBA History!!!” Perk exclaimed.

The comment that started the dispute
Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is on Perkins radar from the start, when the NBA return was favored by the players with (28-0) votes in favor of the return. Perkins called Irving “Brain Bird” and called him the real distraction to the ongoing movements in America. Kevin Durant then came to this teammates’ rescue and that’s where the entire verbal battle started.
