Perkins “race baiting” back fired on him horribly. JJ completely annihilated him👌

[diegorod]

Perkins sounds like someone when they are losing a argument and start getting loud lol

[truevergil]

Lol I’m black and JJ is right. Perkins is crazy man.

[minecraftlifesports]

So Kendrick Perkins denied he said that and then proceeded to double down on his ridiculous take by screaming “that’s the facts!”

[Cuervi]

Perk is a coward. Everyone knows he was implying Jokic only getting MVP because he's white. But since he got called out for it, now Perk's acting like he never implied that.

[melvynwindmon]

Kendrick Perkins making it seem like no one black has ever won MVP in the NBA

[GT_]

I’m black but I agree with JJ here…. Black folks love playing the race game when it’s not even necessary

[OsmaroAcosta]

Racist people only see diversity in colour. Steve Nash is Canadian, Nowitski is German and Jokic is Serbian. The one thing they have in common is they played in the NBA.

[MrDoit]

JJ is way too good at this to be working at this clown show

[NINDOXD]

Look at what Stephen A. Smith says too. Dude really compared Ime Udoka's firing to police brutality. They are exploiting real issues for sports hot takes that generate views and ad revenue. It's atrocious.

I’m glad BLACK PEOPLE are getting called out for their RACIST takes, too! It’s not just the white man that can be racist, but any ethnicity/race capable of being racist!!!

[dbsuper]

Kendrick Perkins is a prime example of just because you played the sport doesn’t mean you know wtf your talking about

[michael__times]

Racists usually don't realize they are racist. 😂😂 perk is a prime example

[TheeTonyClayton]

The only fake stat mentioned by JJ, was that First Take is a respected Sports show.

[stephengurnik]

Why is Perkins getting paid to talk on TV ? He's the worst

[sportspsp]

Kendrick Perkins basketball or sports takes are ridiculous or delusional. This Jokic hate has to stop.

[BoxChevyBino]

Perk dead ass wrong. As me being a black man, some of yall have to stop saying everything is racist or race biased. Its been 3 white guys, that are HOFers btw, to win NBA MVP since 1990. Really Perk. In the last 33 yrs, its only been 3 caucasian males to win NBA MVP & you trying to say there's biases? 😂🤣 Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself brodi!

[VRhys]

JJ Redick was 100 percent correct and I'm a black brother saying that

[renevasquez]

99% of the mvp winners are black.. Perkins has to go. Fire him

[Trumpetjoe]

Race hustling is all Kendrick is doing. Redick called him out for his BS-earned my respect big time
