Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green ripped into Kendrick Perkins after the former NBA center admitted to once praying for LeBron James to get injured.
“Are you kidding me? You actually thought that was OK to admit? Come on, cuz,” Green said on his podcast (13:45 mark). “You can’t think that’s OK to admit. Even if you felt that way—which, by the way, why do you feel that way? That’s a problem. But even if you feel that way, take that to the grave, my man.”
Perkins admitted he was so “terrified” of James during the 2008 Eastern Conference Semifinals that he hoped the then-Cleveland Cavaliers star went down with an injury before Game 7.
“I ain’t going to lie, man, I was scared as hell going into that Game 7 against LeBron James,” Perkins said on the Old Man and the Three podcast. “This was the only time that I actually prayed that something happened to him at practice. … I was like, ‘Let us get breaking news that LeBron tore his ACL or something. I did, bro, I’m not even lying. I’m not even exaggerating.”
