Jay IMMEDIATELY after this segment abt to text KD, “We cool...?” 🤣

[Mixamaka]

Jay Will never picked a side in his entire life.
He is the kind of guy that mix mayonnaise and ketchup together.

Look perk said disrespectful things about kyrie and kd so even though kd might’ve went about it wrong perk is just as bad if not worse

[josephadams]

So it was okay for Kendrick Perkins to call Kyrie Irving a dumb bird with no sense but it's not okay for Kevin Durant to call Kendrick Perkins a sell-out😐

[architect]

Perkins started the name calling first SAS know that brothers are calling him a sellout for his position so he acting like he defending Perkins when he is defending himself. Perkins talks and gossips and like taking shots at players too much in my opinion.

Kendrick Perkins has to be getting paid by clutch sports, he defends Lebron like he's his baby daddy..

[jcv]

Perkins Is A Coward, He's Been Talking To Much Bs Ever Since He's Got To The Media Like Everyone Else. I'm With KD And Kyrie.

Perkins is saying “how dare you guys try to start a revolution without consulting with the white owners first”

[joelo]

The problem is that Kevin Durant' feelings are always hurt

[jojan]

soooo when Perkins said “if they took the brain of Kyrie’s & put it inside of a bird, the bird would fly backwards” 🤦🏽‍♂️😶 but him being called a sellout is a topic of discussion

[UncCarmkl]

All the names y’all be calling kyrie now y’all want to be offended

[Heart_ken]

He is the Vice President of the NBPA. He was just doing his job: giving players a chance to voice his opinion. Y'all just hate Kyrie because it's cool

[ZachCoward]

KD & Perk have had ongoing beef since Perk left KD off of his all-time Thunder players list

[solo]

How ironic that sellouts disagree with others calling them sellouts.

[dashever]

The real issues is being overshadowed by the nba coming back this season kyrie is right!!!

[sammygravano]

I started fast forwarding every time when Jay speaks. He is a good man, but im 100% sure that he will not say anything worth of listening.

[adunn]

You gotta luv how Jay Williams just answer questions and express himself clearly without really having to argue and going “All around the World” to make his point. Continue to show the art of listening! 🙏🏽👍🏽
Much respect 🥃

[DesignerBass]

I blame those players that voted Kyrie as VP. Who didn't see this stuff coming?

[markreadin]

KD last person who can call someone sell out after signing a deal with the devil...his GSW move makes him look like a massive hypocrite here calling Perk that. KD just talks too much, and always butthurt

[dezdakid]

Perkins is wrong but kd should be the last person calling someone a sellout😂
