Kendrick Perkins‘ hypocrisy over the current situation that Ja Morant is dealing with has garnered quite a lot of attention. As many NBA fans will be aware, the Grizzlies star has gotten himself into trouble after flashing a gun on an Instagram Live Stream. Considering that he has been engaging in this kind of behavior for a while, it is possible that he is looking at a lengthy suspension.
Perkins is a former NBA player himself and is now part of ESPN and comes on air as a guest speaker constantly. Since he has been around the league, his perspective and takes have been valued so far. However, when he criticized Morant, it inadvertently opened doors for people to question his own character and past. Let us take a closer look and find out more.
Kendrick Perkins broke the law unlike Ja Morant
NBA fans who have been actively following ESPN and other similar channels will already be familiar with Big Perk and his controversial takes. Although he has proven to be accurate at times, he has shown a tendency to greatly exaggerate and blow things out of proportion. Perhaps this is a crime that the majority of modern media are responsible for committing.
In any case, Perkins has been one of the strongest voices against Ja Morant. He has even gone far enough to state that Ja’s behavior so far might have just cost him the chance of ever being a face of the league.
Fans have been hearing what Kendrick Perkins has to say about Morant for a while now. Finally, one reacted and revealed to the public that Perkins was arrested for assaulting a woman at a night club,” Kendrick Perkins was ARRESTED during his time in the NBA for assaulting a WOMAN in a nightclub Yet has the audacity to come at Ja for a legally owned firearm.”

This also indicates the main defense that Morant fans are holding onto. At the end of the day, guns are largely legal in the United States and Ja did nothing wrong by just producing one. On the other hand, Perkins allegedly hit a woman and was arrested for it. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who has gone further in terms of breaking the law between the two of them.
