Kendrick Perkins praised Jaylen Brown as the best player on the court in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, stating that he is “on a damn mission” after being snubbed from the All-NBA team. Brown’s dominant performance on both ends of the floor, showcasing his passion and tenacity, was a testament to his capabilities as a top player in the series.
Kendrick Perkins noted that while Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, and Kyrie Irving have been the focus of attention, Brown’s powerful plays and demoralizing performance against the Dallas Mavericks proved that he should not be disrespected. Jaylen Brown‘s ability to make impactful plays on both ends of the floor solidified his position as a force to be reckoned with in the series.
Jaylen Brown was the best player on the floor and this dude is on a damn mission right now. Ever since he got snubbed from being all-NBA or he felt like he should have made the all-NBA team he has taken his game to another level, and I know we’ve been talking about Luka, we’ve been talking about Tatum and Kyrie, who’s gonna be the best player in this series. Jaylen Brown once again reminded us last night, “Do not disrespect me because I have the capabilities to be the best player in this series.” And the way that he dominated on both ends of the floor, the passion, the tenacity, that he played with, he didn't have popular plays, he had powerful plays.Kendrick Perkins said on ESPN’s First Take
Perkins predicted that the series would go to seven games, with the Celtics emerging victorious. However, he emphasized that the Mavericks need to regroup and address their issues after Brown’s impressive display. Brown’s mission to prove himself as a top player in the league is evident and his performance in Game 1 was a statement to the rest of the NBA.
Overall, Jaylen Brown’s standout performance in Game 1 of the NBA Finals has earned him the recognition he deserves, and he will undoubtedly continue to be a key player in the series. As Perkins noted, Brown’s passion, tenacity, and powerful plays make him a formidable opponent, and his mission to prove himself as one of the best players in the league is well underway.
Jaylen Brown aside, Kendrick Perkins calls out Rudy Gobert’s playoff performances
Kendrick Perkins criticized Rudy Gobert’s playoff performances, saying he’s never been the deciding factor in a win. Despite his Defensive Player of the Year awards, Gobert hasn’t made a significant impact in the postseason.
Look, bro. You cannot be going back to France with four Defensive Player of the Year awards and not showing up in the postseason… You don’t need Rudy to be average, he’s not supposed to be good. Rudy has yet to have a game where we came out and were like ‘Rudy won them that game, he was everywhere’…Kendrick Perkins said in a recent interview with Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson
Perkins claimed that he had a better playoff career than Gobert, citing statistics about blocks and impactful plays. He pointed to players like Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively making significant contributions, implying Gobert should be doing more.
The comparison between Perkins and Gobert is challenging due to different metrics and expectations. However, Perkins’ points highlight the expectation that Gobert should be making more significant impacts in the playoffs. The discussion raises questions about evaluating defensive players in the playoffs.
