The Kendrick Perkins-Draymond Green feud shows no signs of ending anytime soon. The two have been going at each since these past playoffs and while you’d have thought that things would cool down during the offseason, it has instead only gone up a notch.
This feud really took off last month when Draymond called out Perkins for his analysis and called him an ogre on television, with the two of them being at each other’s throats ever since. The latest installment saw Draymond call Perkins a coon on his podcast and Perkins angrily responded to Green on Twitter.
“Hey Draymond you good? The f**k wrong with you? Didn’t you just win your fourth championship? What the f**k you worried about me for. What you mad? You mad because I’m doing it my way and it’s happened to work? I’m doing it my way, I ain’t gotta do it your way.”
“Forget the old media, forget the new media, Imma stand by the old law and the old law says all that disrespect and all that hoe s**t of calling somebody a coon. Man you gotta be f**ked up. Ain’t nothing coon about me, ain’t no coon, ain’t none of that.”
“We all know you all bark and no bite. We know this, the NBA brothers know this. A lot of them that’s talking behind your back with the whispers they know this. They know you not gonna do nothing. This is proven, this is facts. We know that, so stop with all the tough talk”
“You can talk about me as an ESPN analyst, you can talk about my takes, you can talk about everything you want to do. I don’t give a f**k about that. But what you not gonna do is, you not gonna disrespect me and call me no mother****ing coon and I’m gonna stand on that.”
“That’s what I’m not gonna be and especially by you when we all know you not gonna do nothing… We know you ain’t gonna bust a grape in a fruit fight, we know you ain’t gonna pour milk on cereal… but that coonish s**t, man you gotta be f**ded u. We can keep it entertainment, we can keep it ESPN, whatever you wanna do. But we ain’t doing that coon s**t homeboy. Real talk. Carry on”
Perkins has since then taken down the tweet, stating he did it out of respect for ESPN and his colleagues but he clearly didn’t back down from what he said.
I took my post down addressing Draymond Green out of respect for my company and colleagues I work with everyday, but I was heard loud and clear.
Happy Monday and carry on…

With how outspoken both of these individuals tend to be, it’s only going to get uglier unless ESPN definitively steps in to stop Perkins from engaging with Green. They seem to have told him to delete that post as they’d have realized too that it was escalating a bit too much.
We now wait and see if Draymond responds to the video or if he decides to end things here before it gets to the point where both of them end up with big regrets.
