Perkins is known for his confrontational commentary and continues to stir up media feuds.
As he transitions from his NBA career to broadcasting, he brings the same intensity and willingness to challenge others to the media world.
It remains to be seen if Reggie Miller will respond, but Kendrick Perkins is definitely making the NBA broadcasting industry more interesting.
Perkins has a reputation as an enforcer on the court and seems even more drawn to conflict as a member of the media.
In this particular instance, Perkins accused Miller of bias without providing any elaboration.
Reggie Milller rooting for Denver or something? Jesus Christ

However, upon reviewing the game footage, Miller’s commentary did not appear biased towards the Nuggets.
Perhaps Perkins misunderstood or mistook Miller’s analysis for fandom.
Fans reacted as follows:
Kendrick Perkins your not relevant now or never will be your just taking up space on ESPN until you are replaced
