Kendrick Perkins fired back at Draymond Green after the Golden State Warriors forward labeled the ESPN analyst a "big dummy" and questioned his basketball intelligence. Speaking on the Road Trippin' Show, Perkins stated that Green is not above criticism regarding his play during the 2026-27 season. Perkins defended his credentials to evaluate interior defense by citing his own career as an NBA starting center.
Perkins highlighted his matchups against legends such as Tim Duncan and Yao Ming, noting that late Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant once called him the league's top post defender. He also urged Green to apply what he learned in therapy and improve his conduct.
