    This is a selective memory because Jason tatum always struggles when he plays Ben simmons and so does trae young. Ben simmons did not fold on the defensive side of the ball he folded on the offensive side because in reality he should be a third or 4th option scoring wise but he has always played great defense against the leagues best. Near the second half of that series trae young was shooting horrible.

    Ben Simmons was top 3 in the DPOY race last year plus he’s the 3rd scoring option so he can use most of his energy defensively.

    Perk gets too much airtime. I like my guy but I think the podcast is where he’ll shine. His takes are more feelings then facts.

    Trae young played terrible game 7 what is perk talking about?

  9. Brian Brown

    April 11, 2022 at 12:46 pm

    I’m with KP embiid covered up for Ben Simmons alot. He was always overrated defensively he’s very good but don’t act like Tony Allen or sum. But kp tripping Simmons did slow down young

    • Tuan Deezy

      April 11, 2022 at 4:30 pm

      And vice versa

  11. KSI Sniipez

    April 11, 2022 at 1:29 pm

    He was top 3 Defensive player in the league perk 🤦‍♂️ & you do know you cant stop Great players, you can only slow them down

  12. Benjamin From The Tribe of Judah

    April 11, 2022 at 1:30 pm

    He was literally in contention for defensive player of the year last year lmao 😂😂😂

    • Giorgos Lolos

      April 11, 2022 at 6:30 pm

  13. Benjamin From The Tribe of Judah

    April 11, 2022 at 1:31 pm

  14. KSI Sniipez

    April 11, 2022 at 1:31 pm

    Cmon Perk make sense LeBron averaged 28 against Kawhi Leonard in the 2014 Finals and he’s a great defender 🤦‍♂️

  15. Jay Patel

    April 11, 2022 at 2:30 pm

    He’s not playing. Doesn’t care about bball. Irrelevant discussion.

    Kendrick Perkins just runs his mouth if he doesn’t like the team, Trae Young shot 20% from The field in game seven n shot at 18% from three so kp know ur numbers bro! Because literally when it counted the most he shut him down

  17. Im Clutch

    April 11, 2022 at 4:00 pm

    Last season perkins said he is the best defender in the game we haven’t seen him play so how we know

  20. Giorgos Lolos

    April 11, 2022 at 6:32 pm

  21. ShAdowGames24/7

    April 11, 2022 at 6:40 pm

    He blew his back out blowing kendell back out, that the only conclusion I can come up with🤷🏾‍♂️

    I’m a sixers fan and I hated the way Ben Simmons acted this season but Ben did a good job containing Trae Young the whole series… The problem was his offensive mindset… he looked like he didn’t want the ball and just stood out there… but in the defensive end he was awesome

  23. Adam R

    Tell me Perk shouldn’t work at ESPN, without telling me he shouldn’t be working at ESPN.

  24. JAWS0524

    April 11, 2022 at 9:23 pm

    Y’all kill me acting like Tatum, vanvleet, Luka, young etc. don’t struggle against Ben when he plays them just because of the current situation he’s in lol. This social media era different yo…everyone care everything outside of the actual profession. Can’t wait for Ben to get back on the floor and block out the pettiness.

    Perk doesn’t know what he’s saying.
