JJ Redick Unloads On Kendrick Perkins In Heated Debate Over MVP Voting

All hell broke out in between JJ Redick and Kendrick Perkins on “First Take” Tuesday early morning … with the 2 previous NBA gamers going at it over the league’s tight MVP race.

Redick and Perk have actually been quarreling over the subject for the previous week … with the Boston Celtics champ implicating MVP frontrunner Nikola Jokic of stat-padding to win the award — and suggesting white NBA press reporters have a predisposition towards white gamers when it pertains to voting.

Fast-forward to Tuesday, when Redick slammed Perk’s concept race had anything to do with the MVP race … stating, “What we just witnessed is the problem with this show, where we create narratives that do not exist in reality.”

JJ continued … “The implication, what you’re implying, [is] that the white voters that vote on NBA are racist. That they favor white people. That is exactly what you stated. We all know what you implied the other day. We all know what you implied just now.”

Perkins emphatically disagreed with Redick’s criticism … shouting at the previous NBA star-turned-commentator … stating, “I stated the facts and you not about to sit up here and act like it’s something more than that.”

In case you missed it, Perk described his side recently … stating, “When it comes down to guys winning MVP since 1990, it’s only three guys that won the MVP that wasn’t top 10 in scoring — Steve Nash, Jokic, and Dirk Nowitzki. What do those guys have in common?”

Kendrick doubled down on his position after JJ’s callout on Tuesday … tweeting, “Last year I was a c***. This year I’m a racist. Well damn, which one is it? IT’S NEITHER. I call out facts and not afraid to address the elephant in the room.”
