The Hot Takes of Kendrick Perkins get people a bit too upset.
The former NBA champion and ESPN personality unveiled on the Podcast “Road Trippin” “with Channing Frye that Milwaukee Bucks fans became wild after he said that Giannis Antetokounmpo was the” Robin “by Khris Middleton’s” Batman “during the 2021 NBA -final.
“I started to get a death threat,” Perkins said during the podcast. “It went to my wife’s account. This guy sent me a threat after threat. ” I’m going to kill your children. I know where you are. I’m going to kill you. “This was real life. “
The fan took a serious umbrage with the characterization of Perkins of the roles of Antetokounmpo and Middleton – in Batman Lingo – on the 2021 dollars.
‘I preached that time and again [Middleton is] The Batman of this team and Giannis is the Robin and look, ” Said Perkins in 2021“It’s okay to be the Robin – people think that’s a bad thing. It isn’t.”
Perkins shared the messages with ESPN and he helped with the identification of the sender, which was later arrested.
“They found the guy and locked him up,” said the ex-Celtics star. “This is true and he said,” No, no. I wasn’t serious. ” Such as, Nah, Motherf – Ker, you go to prison.
The moving story of Perkins came as part of a broader discussion about gambling in basketball, in particular with regard to Michael Porter Jr., who sent a scary warning to the NBA about repairing player propines.
Porter’s brother, Jontay, was banned from the NBA for manipulating his players props and pulled out of games with mysterious diseases or injuries so that his under bets would win.
The star of the Nieuwe Nets expressed dissatisfaction with death threats he had received from NBA gamblers who threatened to kill him because they did not help to win their bet.
Perkins added some advice for Porter if he receives threats: Tell the NBA and let them handle it in the same way as ESPN for him.
“The work can be about basketball,” said Perkins, “but the bet can be much higher.”
