Hours after Kobe Bryant tragedy, Kevin Durant’s ex-teammate buries Twitter beef

A few weeks ago Kendrick Perkins, once a serviceable NBA center, now an inelegant provocateur, was doing what he does best — building himself up by trying to belittle others.

Perkins’ profesional zenith was being a strap hanger on the 2007-08 Boston Celtics as they captured the NBA title (beating the Los Angeles Lakers and Kobe Bryant in the Finals). Later, Perkins was a teammate of Kevin Durant for five seasons when the two were in the employ of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Still later, Perkins endeavored to slime the Golden State Warriors of recent vintage, going so far as to accuse them of medical malfeasance for letting Durant return to the court in last June’s NBA Finals.
