Ex-Boston Celtics player who never suited up for Cs never got revenge game
Former Boston Celtics championship center and current ESPN Analyst Kendrick Perkins predicts that the Milwaukee Bucks will emerge from the Eastern Conference and win the NBA Championship in June. This surprising revelation came during Perkins’ appearance on ESPN First Take on October 27.
When asked if the Bucks had convinced him that they were the team to beat in the East, Perkins confidently answered in the affirmative.
“They didn’t have to show me a damn thing, Molly. I already picked them to be the team in the East. In fact, I’ve got them winning the NBA Championship,” Perkins stated.
Former Boston Celtics big man creates controversy with his prediction
This statement is truly disheartening, considering that Perkins played a crucial role in the Celtics’ 2008 NBA Championship victory. While his contributions to the team are cherished and appreciated, Boston Celtics fans strongly disagree with his current stance.
It is disappointing to hear someone who experienced firsthand the electrifying atmosphere in Boston when the Celtics were at the top display such a lack of faith in the team.
The Celtics boast one of the most formidable starting lineups ever assembled, at least on paper. Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Kristaps Porzingis are five players who have the ability to score 25 points on any given night. Although the Bucks, led by Giannis and Lillard, pose a significant challenge, the Celtics have more depth and should be recognized as the team to beat in the East and the entire NBA.
