Kendrick Perkins calls Giannis Antetokounmpo a ‘coward’ in wild tirade
As the NBA world continues to speculate Milwaukee Bucks All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpothe future of ESPN Kendrick Perkins calls to the nine-time All-Star. Ever since The Greek Freak unfollowed the Bucks on social media as the losses piled up, Antetokounmpo has been in various trade reportssuggesting that his days in Milwaukee are numbered.
However, all this would come to an end if Antetokounmpo address his future quite the contrary, which is why Perkins went so far as to call Giannis a coward, according to ESPN’s Road Trippin’ show.
“Giannis is a coward. Giannis is a coward; let’s call it quits. We wouldn’t even be having these conversations, these rewinds, wondering like Sheamus is reporting this and then all of a sudden Chris Haynes is reporting it,” Perkins said. “And all of a sudden, Doc Rivers comes up to the podium and says there’s no Giannis, we never had this conversation, and then Kyle Kuzma brings up that we didn’t have a meeting after this last report. All this shit**** because Giannis is a coward.”
For Perkins, Antetokounmpo’s silence speaks volumes.
“I say this with respect because he doesn’t want to be there, he doesn’t want to be there,” Perkins added. “And it’s fine, so instead of him just going out and saying, ‘trade me, trade me.’ And stop there.”
The Bucks beat the Celtics 116-101 on Thursday. Antetokounmpo is out with a right calf strain.
