Kendrick Perkins says ‘no one in the NBA is scared’ of the Celtics this year

Kendrick Perkins is at it again.

The former Celtics big man and 2008 NBA champion has become a vocal critic of Boston and its star players since becoming a basketball pundit on ESPN.

Whether it’s advocating for Boston to split up Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, criticizing Joe Mazzulla’s basketball IQ, or routinely dismissing Tatum’s ability to deliver in the clutch during Boston’s eventual title run, Perkins has largely become persona non grata to Celtics fans.

And sure enough, Perkins was quick to throw cold water on Boston’s hopes of winning back-to-back titles this upcoming season during his latest appearance on ESPN.
