Kendrick Perkins and Bill Simmons are beefing over the Toronto Raptors.
man steps for losers man i don’t get involved in that stuff but
George Milligan rolling out
that’s a good question
one quick question hey Michelle
perk versus uh apparently Perk and Bill Simmons is beefing because Kendrick Perkins said that he believes the Toronto Raptors are going to be a top six seed in the Eastern Conference next year and uh Bill Simmons called him out and said like “Oh but I guess Bill Simmons has probably been doing this thing for a while now where he just kind of makes fun of of Kendrick Perkins as do a lot of people.” And that’s a whole another thing because there is some stuff to make fun of with with Kendrick Perkins being on ESPN but it’s also like same thing with Stephen A right there’s a lot of things you can like make fun of and talk about with Stephen A being on ESPN and things of that sort and becoming the face of ESPN and the current state of sports media and everything like that but there’s also I feel like a line and a lot of times when the lines are blurred people can cross that line what am I talking about talking about white people talking about black people just leaving set heading to this other event that I got to do thinking about Bill Simmons cupcake ass always got my name in his mouth but I’mma address you Sunday okay believe that i’mma address you on my special edition uh me only yours truly Sunday on road tripping okay they give me my spot and I’m I’mma get on your ass like back pockets cuz I’m about tired of you i don’t know who anointed you uh uh the the the preacher or king of uh the head honcho of overseeing basketball and way things need to be what have you done what have you done what have you done period in the game of basketball have you ever played
he wrote the basketball book the thing about it though Bill Simmons a lot of times when people are like “Bill like what have you done?” And then he’s like “Well I wrote a 500page book about basketball and this and that.” Like even after all of that and his podcast where he talks about like basketball like 247 and he’s done it for the last 15 years or whatever with all that said Bill Simmons has had some of the worst takes I’ve seen in basketball history bro everything is like major with him it’s like oh this is the worst trade in modern sports that like that’s what he said yesterday about the Pelicans trade with the Hawks to trade up 10 spots and then um what else he said the Trey Young trade for Luca Donic on draft day was the worst trade in the NBA in the last 50 years he said it was the worst trade since the Hawks traded Bill Russell from the St louis Hawks to the Boston Celtics he called the Paul Pierce Kevin Garnett trade from the Brooklyn Nets to I mean from the Boston Celtics to the Brooklyn Nets he called that the worst decision in Boston Celtics history despite the fact that that trade built the foundation for the next championship for the franchise in Boston Celtics history and essentially what Kendrick Perkins said what Kendrick Perkins essentially said here to Bill Simmons was he said “Hold on hold on give me a second give me a second give me a sec.” But what he said to Bill Simmons was “Who made you the king of the blacks?” That’s what Kendrick Perkins is just now saying he said “Who made you the king of the blacks Bill Simmons?” The the way that Bill Simmons is talking about folks is insane dog but but I mean it is what it is like I said that’s his job he he wrote a 500page book he became a millionaire off of speaking about the NBA why not continue to speak about the NBA uh does Spinman have a sports network uh I know Colin Coward h has his network simmons did he used to no no no does he still own the Ringer did he sell the Ringer hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on the Ringer because Bill Simmons owns he uh founded the Ringer I believe did he sell it sell hold on i’m tweaking i’m sorry spotify sell mints the ringers Bill Simmons okay spotify signs Bill Simmons to a new deal spotify paying up to 250 mil so yeah yeah his his network gets the ringer that’s uh Bill Simmons super rich dude but it’s just like his takes be all the way off bro so for him to talk the way he talks about other people about like oh that’s asinine that’s this and that is it’s kind of ironic cuz you be the main one missing stuff speaking of the Hawks can I offer Trey Johnson for uh Derek Queen the The Hawks don’t have Derek Queen derek Queen he he uh he on the Pelicans you got to talk to the Pelicans for that okay so I guess I also represent the Pelicans now huh uh do the Pelicans want Trey Johnson oh the Pelicans got Jeremiah Fierce they good we move simmons is too much of a homer for me he’s uh back in Bellich over his girlfriend bossing out i got to go
and I usually don’t even
go pop my car listening to the B Simmons podcast hey
address people cuz I don’t even be really caring about it but it’s kind of pissing me off cuz you feel like you sitting on this throne you got in your feelings you gotten your feelings because I said that I felt that I feel like the Toronto Rap Raptors are going to be a top six seed in the Eastern Conference uh this upcoming season so that wasn’t a crazy that wasn’t a crazy take or anything to that nature it’s a real thing fool when you look at the Eastern Conference Indiana Tyrese Hallebertton most likely going to be out for the entire season we know what Jason Tatum is going through with his Achilles as well boston blowing the whole damn thing up the only teams that I’m thinking about right now is the Cavs right the Orlando Magic the Detroit Pistons going to be back in the New York Knicks that’s four teams and when you think about the mo most important position in the NBA which is the perimeter they have that they have two allstar caliber players two maybe three if you include RJ Barrett with Brandon Ingram and Scotty Bows you know what I mean so why was that like oh Perk yeah he said this and I’m Man shut up you didn’t think before you started drinking them Hinekans and then you got your little peanut gallery up on the podcast who just agree yeah Bill yeah Bill yeah you’re right stand up stand up man shut the hell up the hell you done but I’m going to get more on your ass come Sunday believe that i got I’mma finish doing my research on you enough is enough like you some type of head honcho you ain’t no shot caller uh a beef over the Toronto Raptors being a top six uh seed in the Eastern Conference is hilarious this is such a weird beef drake got to get involved he’s got to the international ambassador of the uh the Toronto Raptors has to get involved they are beefing over the Toronto Raptors being the top six seed in the Eastern Conference and mind you it’s not even July they’re talking about who’s going to finish as a top six seat uh six seed in the Eastern Conference of the NBA in April 2026 in June 2025 that’s what this is all about just so you know so Bill Simmons responded and it was a sub tweet because he didn’t say his name i’m honored that you sat in the car for two plus minutes to scold me on your iPhone like this as I type from my iPhone even though we are a combined age of like 92 if you actually think Toronto would be a top six seed in the Eastern Conference and anything other than quote unquote most fun place to visit let’s wager on it ASAP if Perk was smart uh he would get dirt from former ESPN co-workers well Kendrick Perkins says “Welcome uh Bill Simmons to the Sharante.” Um man all right so with this thing bro like I said it’s a bigger conversation to be had here and I know the comment section is going to be upset with me on on the on the replay it is what it is like Big Nate said Rashad this is your channel if they don’t like it they can kiss your behind thank you Nate for that for that reassurance there is this thing within basketball coverage and basketball media that’s always kind of existed especially in the age of the internet it’s been more heightened and more kind of focused with like blog right with blogs podcast online basketball coverage we’re seeing coverage of basketball more in depth than ever it’s like the best coverage the best breakdowns of basketball the most intricate things like you have an entire podcast just speaking about advanced statistics of one role player on a random you know what I’m saying tim seed in the league like like that’s where we are right now in basketball media if you look for it long enough on on online at the same token the stuff that’s being posted and pushed on a lot of the major networks and a lot of the big wigs and the stuff that most people see on a more casual basis is the laziest basketball analysis ever right so it’s like with the kind of I don’t know paradox of those two things existing within the same time frame you have a lot of the people from this world of online blogging and podcast and things of that sort looking down upon and patronizing the people in the mainstream and the big wigs and things of that sort not to say that that’s necessarily 100% Bill Simmons because Bill Simmons was a former ESPN employee and he’s a 250,000 you know $250 million man you know what I’m saying quarter billion dollar man and things of that sort that’s the head of the ringer and owner of the basketball book writer of the basketball book and things of that sort just just like a pretty much a bible talking about the history of basketball despite all of those things there’s still kind of like this undertone of like you guys aren’t as smart as us you guys aren’t smart you guys are stupid you guys are this you guys are that nikkias even kind of hinted towards it like earlier this week he said when you ask your questions before you ask the question ask yourself why you know the question that you thought of asking and that will lead to more smarter and more kind of effective um conversations surrounding basketball i remember the first time Nikkias was credentialed for the NBA All-Star weekend he went up and he uploaded a video and he said “Hey I was the only person to ask Jared Allen an actual question about basketball during All-Star weekend all-star weekend is like the place for fun where you guys got any puppies what are your puppies names Jared Allen?” And he asked about the the pick and roll uh and rolling with Darius Garland like that’s what he asked and then he went away and it’s kind of like a patronizing tone there there’s this thing that if people have fun that they aren’t smart now we talking i You ain’t know we was talking for real you ain’t know we was talking for real and I say this as a person who has a lot of fun in what I do and stuff like that shouts out to to my bro that just texted me everything like that uh shouts out to my Oh he post okay okay okay sarah all right yeah yeah um shouts out to to USA they play uh they play tomorrow uh the USA woman they play tomorrow uh where are they they’re like Brazil or something like that shout out Faj whole team and stuff like that but there’s this thing of like fun equals not smart fun equals not intelligent and that’s just not the case bro like people just choose different ways to present information and I think at the end of the day like when you notice that the people who break down the game and the crevices of the game to down to the each detail and everything like that and their predictions are still all the way off like I seen KO like shout out KO ko’s a cool dude and stuff like that here in Atlanta been covering the Hawks for at this point like over 10 years right ko Shunnard give him a follow listen to his podcast ATL and 29 and things of that sort ko is one of the smartest people I ever know and um one of the smartest people covering the Hawks right he compared Torian Prince to Kawhi Lanner and then Well well no no no with with with the Kobe Buffkin thing he was a little more conservative he said “I believe that the front office sees Kobe Buffkin could potentially become this person.” So I I won’t tag that one on him but but it it’s been another one that he’s been way all the way off and he could break down uh when you shoot from this one you have a so and so percent chance of making this the halts are short rolls they aren’t working right here that are so and so and Trey spaces like he pointed out the fact that Trey like lets the ball uh kind of dribble out so when he gets the ball the shot clock he you know maximizes the game clock and things and Trey was like thanks you you noticed the small things about the game i appreciate everything like that you know it’s just I’m saying all of this to say the smartest people are way off with their takes sometimes so you know what that means at the end of the day all basketball media all people covering the game all people commenting the game the fans whether you on Jeff Teague and you laughing and things of that sort and I know I had a problem with and I called out Jeff Te podcast and stuff like that before whether you on the Gills Arena and you laughing with Gilbert and uh and Kenyan Martin and Rashad Mccants who took away my spot that’s the most Googled uh Rashad M in in the basketball world or or uh uh TNT Stephen A first take whatever the case might be wherever you get your your your basketball takes from at the end of the day we all we’re all guessing with like predictions we all don’t know 100% we’re guessing based off of um patterns from from what happened before cuz like you know Chuck says all the time we ain’t God ain’t no expert but God bro at the end of the day so it’s like to go with a patronizing tone against somebody else because the way they choose to cover the game versus the way you choose to cover the game and both of y’all at the end of the day wrong it’s like what’s the point you know what I’m saying bill Simmons probably going into the season last season like “Oh yeah Boston was the greatest basketball team ever because I’ve seen some people say Boston had last season the greatest NBA season ever.” Like they were the best NBA team ever right in 2024 when they won the championship so going into 2025 they like “Oh yeah Boston’s about to go on a run of winning five straight championships.” That was a talk in the preseason they could try to gaslight you into thinking that wasn’t the conversation that was the conversation they were like “It’s Boston and everybody else.” That’s what everybody was saying in the national media right in the preseason boston before Tatum towards Achilles was struggling to get past the first round and the second round and and end up losing in the second round so it’s just like bro you can do all that expert stuff you want and I like you the king and the god of basketball and basketball predictions at the end of the day nobody knows nothing bro so the patronizing tone I think it’s a difference between going back and forth in debates and actual just like looking down on another human being and I feel like a lot of times in the basketball media space and coverage it’s a lot of other people looking down on other people in the basketball media space no one’s better than anybody bro i don’t care how smart you are i don’t care if you use the word pacifilus to describe a rebound you’re not better than anybody else bro word to bro i don’t care how many million Spotify give you you’re not better than anybody else bro uh yeah let me see let me see i’m confused that uh Chuck he called Kendrick for his takes out like it was an issue that was funny charles going against Perk that whole back and forth because both of them are kind of essentially the same thing perk is just a little more country so it was just funny to me that that entire back and forth in fairness I predict the Connecticut Sun beating Chicago Sky in the finals against Vegas that’s funny i did predict the Connecticut it’s funny it’s funny it’s funny but but you guess something different and at the end of the day they’re all guesses bro like we ain’t God dog that That’s all I’m saying yeah people need to take stuff more light-hearted um the way some people talk you would think they they were in an NBA front office 100% even if you were in the NBA front office like SGA was traded on draft day for Miles Bridges they don’t know what they doing all the time either bro people need to be more open-minded 100% bro is more ways than one to present information you know what I’m saying now at the same time I’m one of those people that that be talking about so and so but I feel like it’s a difference between critiquing and being like “Dang this spot could go to someone like a Kenny Beichum this spot can go to someone like you know what I’m saying uh a journalist who went through school and everything like that worked his way up like Deshawn Tate who’s been covering basketball on a grassroots level all the way through up the NBA for the previous 15 years of his life he’s dedicated his life to the game of basketball and things of that sort and he’s still trying to find his way out of like a regional or local market on the radio scene and things of that sort like I would love to see other people get opportunities as opposed to a Morris twin retires and now we got both Morris twins taking up two spots on first take like you know what I’m saying like I’m 100% with that but I feel like there’s a difference between critiques and patronizing tones which can kind of almost in a way also come with the undertone of a bit prejudice and I know you hate to hear it this and that but that’s just what it is when a black person speaks with a certain certain dialect and uses slang on the air you equate that to in your mind in your subconscious where you will midair or not lack of intelligence and and I think that that’s a big it’s it’s it’s a big thing bro it’s a big problem xnba players uh rent always the best uh aren’t always the best analyst 100% like I think the biggest thing when people say “Oh you didn’t even play if you don’t play you can’t have a an opinion.” As Wilson said that right on on the subway before the season started i think the worst probably person with basketball and I’ll be very interested to see how this works on NBC as of but as of right now is Michael Jordan bro michael Jordan be having the worst basketball takes i ain’t gonna lie to you he’s the greatest player of all time and he be having the worst basketball takes and he drafted Kame Brown and he drafted Michael kid Gil Chris and he drafted you know what I mean so it’s just like I don’t know bro i think everybody I think keep it to critiquing keep it cute that’s all I’m saying keep it cute keep it to critiquing because when you get to that patronizing tone and think that someone just overall you tried their overall intelligence I think that’s when it gets over the line and it’s a problem that we’ve had in this space for a long time and it translates to real life it’s bigger than that so yeah um steps for losers man i don’t get involved in that stuff but Rashad Milligan rolling out
it’s a good question brandon quick
