VIDEO: Kendrick Perkins Hot Take Fest Continues With Brutal Condemnation of MJ and 'The Last Dance'
By Andrew Gullotta
Kendrick Perkins is continuing to rile up the basketball world with his opinion on Michael Jordan and 'The Last Dance.' He hated on the documentary and the six-time champion Tuesday on ESPN's 'First Take.'
"I'm glad [Michael Jordan] is not my GOAT. ... He lied, he threw everybody under the bus. At the end of the day, The Last Dance was to make MJ look like a super hero, and make everybody else look like a villain."@KendrickPerkins responds to audio contradicting Jordan. pic.twitter.com/WqB6Ox6gbP

In the video, Perkins said that Jordan was made out to be the "hero," while everyone else is a "villain." He theorizes this as the reason that Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant also have issues with the docuseries. Additionally, Perkins said the documentary was "full of lies and snitching."
Add this to the list of hot takes by the former Boston Celtic, as he continues to hate on Jordan and proclaim LeBron James as the GOAT. Comments like these are pretty irresponsible, as many have heralded 'The Last Dance' as one of the best sports documentaries ever.
The 10-part series was clearly given from Jordan's point of view, but that's what made it so compelling. Who wouldn't want to take a look inside the mind of one of the best athletes ever?
Perk being on the air reminds me of the time ESPN had Ryan Hollins as an analyst

Perkins job as an NBA analyst has to include some smoke, but he's taking it to another level.
