There was another layer to the mini-drama Thursday afternoon as Perkins reacted to Embiid wearing a hazmat match before boarding the Sixers flight to Orlando.
ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins on Wednesday night slammed Embiid for noting he “disliked” the NBAs strategy to reboot the season at Disney World and still does not think its safe enough. Perkins reaction was devoid of compassion and did not resolve Embiids genuine concerns, rather framing Embiids remarks as “just a reason.”
Do ya thang Big Fella.
While Perkins shenanigans have actually been silly, they should not eclipse Embiids genuine concerns. Perkins does not appear to acknowledge that its possible to weigh various aspects prior to making a challenging choice, which is what Embiid has actually done by choosing to take a trip to Orlando in spite of being careful of playing during a pandemic, and in a location where cases have just recently increased..
More on the Sixers.
Joel Embiid doesnt tweet much nowadays.
A champ with the 2008 Celtics, Perkins averaged 5.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in 782 NBA games. A three-time All-Star, Embiid has career averages of 24.1 points and 11.5 rebounds. Theres plainly a variation..
Perkins later felt forced to reply with a reel of more favorable NBA moments for himself..
He appeared to make a declaration, however, through a current tweet he liked.
