When LeBron James appeared on Wednesday’s broadcast of the Pat McAfee Show, he ignited a fire that has enveloped the basketball world. James’s ESPN exclusive interview with McAfee produced a lot of viral content.

James brought up a number of individuals and produced so many headlines that, based on the reactions of his friends, enemies, and former teammates, additional news was produced today.

Kendrick Perkins, a former teammate and NBA analyst for ESPN, was one of them.

Perkins opens up on LeBron James and MJ incident

Kendrick Perkins had a funny story on First Take earlier today about how he misplaced his Jordan Brand footwear supply. Perkins referred to Jordan as “petty as hell,” saying: “If you go in my closet, it’s nothing but J’s. I keep J’s on my feet. I was signed to Jordan for about two years when I was playing.”

“I wore J’s throughout a few years of my time in Oklahoma City. After that, I used to get boxes in the mail all the time, the J’s before they even hit the stores. I started my media career, as soon as I said LeBron James was the GOAT, those boxes stopped coming (laughs).”

Given that Perkins wore Nike for practically his entire career, many NBA fans on the internet questioned his account. Nonetheless, there are photos of him playing NBA games while sporting vintage Air Jordan sneakers. We also know that Jordan is sensitive to slights.
