Kendrick Perkins Destroys Paul Pierce For Not Having LeBron James In All-Time Top 5

Celtics legend Kendrick Perkins has something to say about Paul Pierce and his comments on LeBron James. Pierce said the Lakers superstar is not a Top 5 all-time player in the basketball history. His former Celtics teammate took a shot at him. According to Perkins, this was nothing but a “delusional” statement.

Perkins had a Q&A session with Alex Kennedy on the HoopsHype podcast. One of the questions included Pierce’s take on LeBron.

“I mean, I can’t knock P for who he had, but I don’t know,” Perkins said. “I think it’s something else there. Like, there’s no way that you can not have LeBron in your Top 5. Now, if you don’t have him as your GOAT, I’m okay with it. But to say that he’s not in your Top 5? Come on, P. I love you to death, my brother, but you’re a little delusional.”

Kendrick Perkins teaches Paul Pierce a lesson

Perkins and LeBron spend some time on the floor together, and this was just enough for him to realize that LeBron is an excellent player. Some say Perkins has a bias towards King James, but he denied all that.

“Why? How? I don’t understand it,” Perkins explained. “I’m biased because I appreciate greatness? When he’s gone, the game is going to miss him. So because I give LeBron James his flowers [while he’s here], I’m biased toward LeBron? I’m not biased toward LeBron. I don’t work for LeBron, I don’t work for Klutch. I work for ESPN. At the end of the day, if a guy’s playing great basketball and we’re witnessing an all-time great (arguably the greatest player of all time) and he’s still playing the game of basketball at his highest level, if me giving him his flowers and his praises and his just due is being biased, that is crazy to me.”

Perkins is not biased towards the king of basketball. He just likes his work and likes how LeBron handles the pressure on the floor. LeBron is an amazing player and he is the GOAT. Perkins will always support this claim. A lot of NBA legends would agree with him on this one.
