So, former RBA player Kendrick Perkins finally hops off the little bum James nut sack. Kendrick Perkins finally comes to his senses and realizes that D-riding is not a form of transportation and that it will get you absolutely nowhere. Kendrick Perkins is by far top five on the Glazer Goat list. I repeat, top five on the Glazer goat list.
And may I add that he's actually up there with great company, by the way, with the Shannon Sharps of the world, the Nick Wrights of the world, the Chris Brousards of the world, the Rachel Nichols of the world, hell, the entire ESPN staff as a corporation, as a organization. And from what I hear, Kendrick Perkins is actually in talks with getting a sponsor by Dunkin' Donuts from all the glazing that he does with Le Bum James. And I hear that his new slogan will be, "I got so much cream in my palm from glazing LeBron." I repeat, so much cream in my palm from glazing LeBron. The narrative pusher. Kendrick Perkins is shaped like six person's ultimate fanboy.
But Kendrick Perkins finally admits that LeBlum James isn't as influential as the media portrays him to be and that none of the RBA players from the younger generation really look up to Leam James or model their game after him. But here's what Kendrick Perkins had to say. This article is per basketball network via Yahoo Sports and the headline reads, quote, "A lot of these guys looked up the Kobe." End quote. Kendrick Perkins claims today's young stars never idolize Leum James.
It goes on to say, "Lum James time in the RA is coming to an end even though he's still performing at an elite level allegedly in his 23rd season." While official announcements about his retirement haven't been made, he sure seems like he could play at this level for several more seasons. As his career winds down, the league is increasingly searching for the next face of the RBA. Someone who can attempt the impossible mission of stepping into the role of Leum has dominated for over two decades. on the court. The search is also for someone who could continue what he started back in 2003 with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
But according to the Kendrick Perkins, he doesn't believe many young players are influenced by Leb's game. He would go on to say, quote, "A lot of these guys, these young stars and rising superstars, they don't look up to Leb anyway." Perkins stressed on first take. So they're not following in his footsteps. A lot of these guys looked up to Kobe. A lot of these guys came on record and talked about how they look up to Kevin Durant more so they look up to LeBum James. They don't idolize him. It goes on to say Kobe and Katie are different type of inspirations.
They also made sure that they put in there still when you look at the players dominating in the league today, it's hard to say Lil Bum hasn't had a direct influence on his generation with whom he still competes at a high level. Just look at Luca Donic, Cade Cunningham, or Jaylen Johnson. Versatile players who can cover multiple positions and see the game differently. Well, you notice they always have to save face and have to spin the narrative back in Le Bum James favor to make it appear as though Bum Jane was just so influential. And although that these former RBA players with actual experience with playing the game and actually have knowledge and played with Leum James and played with other former players, they want to go against what these players are saying when it's their eye test. You know, Kendrick Perkins of all people, this would come from an unbiased perspective because he's nut hugged Lil Bum James for so long. the fact that he's speaking the truth. It's not like that he's trying to shame Leum James or trying to downplay his legacy, but they've been praising LeBum James for so long that people are still caught into the programming and feel like he's the king. You can't criticize Lil Bum James. You can't be objective.
Luca Duncan is not dominating the league right now. Players such as Shay Gildris Alexander is dominating the league right now. He's constantly in MVP conversations. He literally went on record and always explains how he modeled his game after Kobe Bryant. This is why he he operates in the mid-range and constantly work on his footwork. He just won a RP and he's more than likely going to reach the finals again this season. You got players such as Giannis Antompo who is dominating the league who looked up to Kobe. Kyrie Irving looked up to Kobe. They're not going to mention these players. They looked up to Kevin Durant. All the young players, the winters, these players looked up to Kobe because of Kobe's mentality. But they want to praise LeB. And he doesn't even play defense. But I mean, it's just facts, ladies and gentlemen. And you damn sure don't need a lie detector test to tell whether Kendrick Perkins is telling the truth or not.
Leum James wasn't influential at all. And if he was, it was in a bad way to where players are flopping, players are forming super teams, etc. You know, players like Anthony Edwards looked up to Kobe Bryant. This younger generation of basketball, they may just heard the media constantly and desperately trying to convince you how great LeB is, but players never really wanted to be like LeB. Players in the '9s wanted to be like Michael Jordan. Players in the early to mid 2000s wanted to be like Kobe Bryant or Allan Averson. And then in the 2010s, players want to be like Steph Curry. Steph Curry is literally in LeB era. And younger players still don't want to be like LeB. You got players shooting from half court damn near trying to be like Steph Curry, the Trey Young's of the world because LeB game is basic and he lacks the passion for the game.
Some of these young players, all they know is basketball. That's like 24/7 for them. For some players, that's all they know. But Leam James, he was more so driven by money. And that shouldn't be your end all be all. He thought that he could carve his own legacy and he could shape his own story and narrative. But at the end of the day, the people got the final say and determine and dictate what your legacy will be. And a lot of fans, real basketball fans, don't view you as the greatest. So when you retire, your fan base is going to retire. The RNA is going to continue. But some of these players, that's all they know is basketball.
But you know, in other words, LeB don't have no morals. He's a sellout. And the type of codes that he live by, players don't grow up like that, bro. Like flopping, crying, complaining, making excuses, quitting, forming super team, blaming others, cheating. No man of influence in this world would teach their sons or coaches would never teach their players that it's okay to share the same like mentality that Le Bum James have or the behavior that he displays. You can only fool the eye but for so long. But fans, many of us, many young players, the programming, they were tricked into believing Leum James was a great player. They believed that he was a better player than Kobe Bryant. But now they're starting to see for themselves how great Kobe was and how fundamentally sound Kobe Bryant was and his approach to the game. His mindset pushes them to follow his path because it leads to great results.
LeB ruined the entire game. He ruined Allstar weekend. I didn't even watch Allstar weekend because he ruined it and he got to play when it's tons of players that's far better than him. But he didn't just ruin the All-Star game, he ruined the entire All-Star weekend, bro. Why? Because he refused to compete. And not just the All-Star game, refused to compete in the dunk contest. He took away the competition from the All-Star break. And according to the people that he paid within the media, allegedly he used moments during the All-Star break to recruit players. They finally understand that saying, "Never meet your idols because you'll be disappointed." The media made Labum James appears this loving and fuzzy warming guy who remembers handshakes from preschool, from prek. But then when you actually meet him and play with him, you realize how much of a ball hog, how much of a coward, and how much a backstabber this guy really is. He will pretend to be your friend and then have you traded behind your back and then had the media trash you and then his fans will send you death threats if you say anything critical of him. But they realize that Le Bum James is secretly a devil, allegedly working with the Illuminati, allegedly. And then they say, "You know what? I'd rather be like Kobe." The younger generation, they love Kobe. And you know, Kobe Bryant Pierce love Kobe. And that's why Lil Bum James blood sacrificed Kobe allegedly because it plucked his nerve. It struck his ego seeing how respected Kobe was amongst his peers, how much impact and influence Kobe Bryan had. Although Kendrick Perkins is obese, I agree with his.
