Kendrick Perkins implies MVP voters may be racist

Related Topics: Kendrick Perkins

Former Boston Celtics center and current ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins is not one to back down from a fight. He thinks Nikola Jokic's record setting season is due to stat padding. Perk covers a lot of issues in his First Take appearance below, but the one that pops out is the implied accusation that the NBA or NBA MVP voters in specific are racist due to the wins by Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki, and most recently Jokic.

The first bomb Perkins drops is that he would turn down short jump shots when he played for the Celtics in order to become at the time the team's all-time 2-Point Field Goal Percentage leader.
