Kendrick Perkins has been an analyst since retiring from the NBA in 2018. Perkins has had some terrible takes live on air, which makes him entertaining.<\/p>\n

However, his recent claim that MVP voters have racial bias towards Nikola Jokic has been heavily slammed by fans and former players.<\/p>\n

Perkins recently got into a heated debate with ESPN co-analyst and fellow former NBA player JJ Redick regarding the topic. The one-time champ believes Jokic, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki won the MVP award because they are white.<\/p>\n

However, Redick blasted Perkins for calling Jokic a stat-padder and implying that MVP voters are racists.<\/p>\n

“What we just witnessed is the problem with this show, where we create narratives that do not exist in reality,” Redick said. “The implication, what you are implying, that the white voters that vote on NBA are racist, that they favour white people, you just said that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After his heated debate with JJ Redick, Kendrick Perkins defended himself on Twitter and clarified that he’s not a racist. Perkins stood by his terrible take and noted that he only spoke facts. He also pointed out that Draymond Green<\/a> called him a “c**n” last year<\/p>\n

@KendrickPerkins<\/a> You didn\u2019t offer one single fact about the MVP vote. Not one. You just said, \u201cBecause it\u2019s a fact\u201d with no facts to back it up.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

@KendrickPerkins<\/a> Buddy you are a horrible analyst, that\u2019s the FACTS. Joki\u0107 deserving his 3rd MVP is not based on anything else other than his skills as a basketball player<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

@KendrickPerkins<\/a> What you said was race-baiting on a situation that doesn\u2019t exist. Magic Johnson was a game-changing talent but rarely ever ranked in the top 10 in scoring. Jokic\u2019s play is definitely not as stylish as Magic, but he is just as vital to his team as Magic was to the Lakers.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
