Kendrick Perkins on Kevin Durant, says its disrespecting

The former NBA champions Kendrick Perkins said, “Like the issue you know, where he (Durant) thought I was disrespecting him by saying that Russell Westbrook was the greatest of all time as a Thunder. Now this is what I’m trying to explain the KD just because you’re the greatest player doesn’t mean that you’re the best player they ever put on the Thunder uniform.” He said how Westbrook took over Kevin Durant dumb struck with his performance.

Adding to his argument Perkins said, “Okay? See, they don’t love you like they love Russ and a lot of people agree to that, Russ leads that team and every statistical category.

“And when I say that on that day, I was actually saying that because Russ was returning back to OKC. And I said, Look, roll the red carpet out for him. He’s the greatest Thunder of all time, in my opinion. He stood there. He embraced the moment and he capitalized on.” After 8 losses the Nets really seem to get their defence together if they don’t want to mess up their struggle.
