There are those who disagree with Kyrie Irving for the stance he’s taken recently — that the NBA shouldn’t resume the 2019-20 season at Disney World in Orlando — and then there’s Kendrick Perkins.
Irving’s former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate, and Kevin Durant’s former Oklahoma City Thunder teammate, has been critical of the Brooklyn Nets point guard for his “lack of leadership” in the past and reiterated that stance recently.
Then on Wednesday, Perkins tweeted he “took it light” on Irving during his most recent rant on ESPN. The retired NBA center also indicated he knows more about what Irving is doing “behind those phone conversations” that Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News recently reported on.
Kevin Durant has responded to his old teammate’s remarks. Wilson Chandler also chimed in, first tweeting:
Ex players turning into suckers right before your eyes on television.
Divide and conquer tactics at a all time high.

Then Chandler responded to Perkins’ directly on Twitter with this message:
If you got something to say, say it. Don’t [try] threatening us with gossip.
