Jusuf Nurkic had some words for NBA analyst and championship center Kendrick Perkins after the Portland Trail Blazers made easy work of the Denver Nuggets in Game Four. Post game, Nurkic called the ESPN commentator a “clown” who would be a “mascot in today’s NBA” following a Perkins tweet questioning Nurkic and Enes Kanter’s defensive acumen after Game 3.
“I don’t know if I can talk about defense, some guy, clown out there saying I’m one of the worst in the league. The guy named, I guess he’s an analyst, ESPN guy Perkins, the big fella Perkins, Kendrick Perkins.
