Kendrick Perkins has a reputation for being an opinionated individual. Hearing John Walls‘ criticism of his former team, the Houston Rockets with Theo Pinson on the TidalLeague podcast, and the management once more didn’t stop him.

Earlier on the podcast TidalLeague, John Wall said, He told Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr: “This sh*t y’all getting away with here if you go to any other teams, you would be out of the f***ing league. You wouldn’t play. I’m trying to explain it to them because they think it’s sweet.”

Kendrick Perkins reacts to John Walls’ comments by saying, “I’m bothered by John Wall’s comments towards those young guys and the [Rockets] organization… Veterans matter! You need the right vets in those locker rooms to be an extension of Coach Silas”

Former Houston Rockets guard John Wall recently gave a tough interview in which he discussed his two seasons (2020–21 and 2021–22) in Houston. Of those two years, only the first had Wall playing actively. Wall made a number of claims, including that the reconstruction is still going on and that the club culture that goes along with it encourages negative habits in young players like Kevin Porter Jr. and Jalen Green.

The next day, Rockets head coach Stephen Silas addressed these claims in an interview with SportsTalk 790’s Matt Thomas, “When we go out every night, we’re trying to win a basketball game. And we prepare the same way that I prepared when I was walking for perennial playoff teams. We have the same expectations for play. We do things in a manner that is putting us in the direction to win every single night that we’re out there.“

He then went on to further add, “Is that going to happen? No. We’re a young team, we have 19 and 20, 21-year-old guys who emotionally they go up and down, and with their games, there is going to be inconsistency.” He concluded by saying, “The best teacher is experienced, and that’s what they’re getting right now. You don’t look at certain guys around the league, and just because they went through a rebuild, they have a losing attitude. There have been teams that have done it before.”
