ESPN analyst and former NBA center Kendrick Perkins brought up Kevin Durant's leadership abilities once again after the Phoenix Suns superstar called him out in a social media post.
"When I challenged KD to leadership, it's not because he's not the best player on the team," Perkins explained Friday on NBA Today. "I'm wondering why can't he bring the best out of those players, of what you've got right now, to try to make a late push."
Perkins, who was teammates with Durant on the Oklahoma City Thunder, previously expressed his belief that he was the one leading the Thunder instead of Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
