Perkins is a typical low IQ bball personality.
1. Mostly emotional "Its the Facts, the Facts, the Facts" he yells while rolling his eyes, turning his head and talking over guys when pressed. Little to no logic (i.e. which is hallmark of Lebron's crew). Reddick schools with 3 Magic Johson MVPs while never scoring top 10 in any of them.... Then goes on to explain Mavs were 67 win team (tops in NBA) the year he Dirk won it....so was it crazy to not give it him? Nash was best players on Suns amazing offensive team that was top seeds...was it crazy to give it to him?
2. ESPN wants black guys and many women to be their analysts in the name of diversity....but pick intelligent black guys like Richard Jefferson...where they dig up Perkins is beyond me.
But here is the rub for guys like Perkins who goes on to describe the real problem in that show. He's mouth piece for many current black players that are butt hurt the foreign players are displacing them. Giannis, Jokic, Luka, Embiid is from Cameroon, Sabonis is pushign for top 5 bigmen, etc...the American born black player is being displaced with foreigners and many guys lke Perkins in his day...have no place to make top dollars as the game is global and changing the way it's officiated. More shooting, passing, skill sets are in demand vs. physical athleticism (not as much rough play in paint) and many don't like it. In a way they are the ones being racial by acting like it's their game and the foreign born players are infringing on their turf a bit.
