ESPN's Kendrick Perkins made a jaw-dropping revelation during the latest edition of Hoop Streams. The former NBA center admitted his kids spent a whopping $16,000 on the popular video game Fortnite, a rude awakening for the big man.

“I hate video games,” said Perkins. “My kids drive me crazy with it. I do not indulge — they drive me crazy. My household is nothing but Fortnite, NBA 2K. It just drives me crazy.

“Quick story: I get my credit card bill back, I got to the store, my credit card is declined. Come to find out, my kids spent $16,000 worth of Fortnite bills on my credit card. Every since then I'm cool on Fortnite, I do not indulge in video games”

That admission was so shocking, that moderator Cassidy Hubbarth had to ask the retired NBA big man “how much” again.

“Sixteen thousand dollars,” said Perkins in response. “And it was buying skins every day, whatever that is. I had to dispute the charge and I was like you know what? forget this video game stuff. So they don't even talk to me about it.”

The NBA analyst then went on to say the popular video game is “tricking you” due to being free to play but offering so many customizable options worth real money.

Many games have made use of the free to play model and banked on customization as a source to profit from, but $16,000 worth of skins is worth quarantining those kids for quite a few months.
