Kendrick Perkins reacts to Julius Erving’s list with sketchy comment

NBA champion Perkins shared his opinion in a conversation during the ‘Pat Bev Podcast’. Revealing his disappointment with Dr. J’s list, he shared, “Old heads have a problem with giving more credit to the new generation. We need to face it. The new generation is just way more skilled than you all.”

He continued, “He came up with a bougie list and I am just sitting up here and saying it to myself. I just don’t understand. I have so many young guys that pay homage to all the great that paved the way, but they don’t get the same in return.”
