Kendrick Perkins blasts LeBron James over his comments on health and safety protocols and the team’s chemistry

Former Cleveland Cavaliers star Kendrick Perkins recently appeared on the ‘First Take‘ show. During the show, he talked about LeBron’s post-game comments after their loss vs. the Spurs.

“Here’s the thing. LeBron, you my dawg, I’ve been knowing you since the seventh grade. But that interview? That ain’t it. But a simple fact that the whole league has been battling this whole situation for us. COVID protocols, injuries, or whatever the case may be,” Perkins said on the ‘First Take.

“So when you get beat by 28 by the Spurs, that’s a problem. That don’t have nothing to do with chemistry,” he added.

After spending the majority of his career in Boston, Perkins retired at Cleveland Cavaliers. However, he had one more stint with the Cavs before, during the 2014-15 season. LeBron powered the Cavs to the NBA finals that season, but they lost to the Warriors in six games.

Despite being teammates with King James, Perkins has been vocal about him and has criticized him on several occasions. LeBron, however, is currently focused on the Lakers’ game vs Brooklyn Nets. A win could end the Lakers’ 4-game winless run and bring some confidence within the camp.
