Demanding ESPN to Shut Their Doors on Ex-NBA Star, Warriors Fans Live in Denial of Stephen A Smith’s Colleague’s Outlandish Remarks

In the NBA, opinions are like shots from half-court—sometimes they hit the mark, and sometimes they miss by a mile. A former NBA star recently shared his opinion about the Golden State Warriors dynasty on ESPN’s First Take. His critical approach toward the current situation of the Golden State Warriors irked DubNation. However, fans didn’t waste time responding when the video was shared on Twitter. Amid the furor around the ESPN layoffs, some fans even claimed that the 1x NBA champion should have joined Jeff Van Gundy and Jalen Rose on his way out.

Let’s dive into the unpopular opinion and see how the Warrior fans reacted to the former NBA star.

Unveiling the controversial opinion about the Warriors

During a lively discussion on First Take, Kendrick Perkins made a statement that left Warriors fans incredulous. Furthermore, he boldly declared, “The dynasty is over“. He was very harsh about the state of the team and didn’t shy away from expressing it. However, his opinion still has some substance to it, as there was some uncertainty looming on the fate of the Warrior Dynasty.

He went on to say, “The Suns are better than them, the Denver Nuggets are better than them. Hell, I am willing to go out on a limb and say the Sacramento Kings are better than them.” While the Warriors finished below the above-mentioned teams in the regular season, they proved their mettle as they overcame the Kings in 7 games in the first round of the playoffs.

However, they were disappointingly eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers, who themselves went on to get swept by the Nuggets. The West has a lot of talent currently and making it out of the Conference will be an achievement in itself.

This unexpected take on the Warriors’ status sent ripples of disbelief through the basketball universe. Furthermore, First Take shared the clip on Twitter tagging Perkins. Safe to say, Warriors fans weren’t pleased with the former Boston Celtics center’s take.

The outrage unleashed by fans

As expected, the reaction to Kendrick Perkins’ proclamation was swift and fiery. The comment section was flooded with passionate responses, with many users brutally disagreeing and questioning Perkins’ credibility. One fan wondered, “how did you not get fired,” while another fan wrote, “Can’t believe Kendrick Perkins still on the ESPN.”

Another fan claimed that takes like this are the reason why Perkins is still with ESPN. The comment read, “Well Perks really draw a lot of viewership and comment bec he hold the Warriors and Steph near his heart. He knows if he talk the right way no one will listen.”

There were some fans, however, who felt there was nothing wrong with his take.

After all, the Warriors have enjoyed a dominant run in recent years, with multiple championships and an array of superstar talent. It’s natural for fans to fiercely defend their team against any perceived slight or criticism.
