Kendrick Perkins: ‘Everything that comes out LeBron’s mouth ain’t the damn gospel’
March 28, 2025
ESPN basketball analyst and former Boston Celtics player Kendrick Perkins says enough is enough with the sensitivity of the current generation of NBA players, including their King, who has been on a mission to challenge Stephen A. Smith and discredit the analyst because of his sports commentary. “LeBron James needs to stop; he needs to stop. I’m so sick of him with this (bellyaching about), oh how the league is covered because he wants it to be covered in the way that he wants it to be covered. This is what it comes down to with LeBron and I’m a big LeBron fan. I have known LeBron since 1998. The problem that I have is, one, everything that comes out LeBron’s mouth ain’t the damn gospel. Number two, we are in 2025. It’s a different era. Dammit you have to adjust.”

More on this storyline
“The coverage of the NBA in my opinion has been the same since I arrived in the NBA and I grew up as a youngster watching the NBA,” said Perk. “Magic Johnson, was he not criticized? Kobe Bryant, was he not criticized? Michael Jordan, was he not criticized? Allen Iverson, he was criticized. So in today’s game these players are so sensitive that it just don’t make any damn sense.” -via The Shadow League / March 28, 2025
Kendrick Perkins: “A lot of times we talk about LeBron James and his lack of relationships, and we look at both parties. But we don’t look at one party—LeBron.” “You came into the league wearing number 23, proclaiming yourself to be the GOAT. Eventually it was to be the GOAT.” “Just ask Hollywood about the negotiations for Space Jam and some of the stipulations he insisted on. I won’t go there because we’re being nice this morning.” “Look at Kobe Bryant. Their relationship wasn’t much until they were Olympic teammates. How much of a relationship did they have after that?” -via YouTube / March 27, 2025
Kendrick Perkins: “But let me say this, Molly. MJ is petty as hell, too.” “If you go in my closet, it’s nothing but Jays. I keep Jays on my feet. I was signed to Jordan for about two years when I was playing.” “I wore Jays throughout my time in Oklahoma City. I used to get boxes in the mail before the shoes hit stores.” “I started my media career, and as soon as I said LeBron James was the GOAT—those boxes stopped coming.” -via YouTube / March 27, 2025
