Retired Celtics big man Kendrick Perkins has not exactly been a vocal supporter of his former team this season.
From disparaging Jayson Tatum’s impact on this Celtics roster, to giving the Pacers a shot to upset Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals, to calling out Joe Mazzulla, Perkins has routinely called out Boston despite their dominant play this season.
Even before the 2024 NBA Finals matchup has officially been set, Perkins has already warned Boston fans to not antagonize Dallas guard Kyrie Irving in a potential showdown — even with the star’s notoriety on Causeway Street.
