Kendrick Perkins is wondering whether or not star quarterback Tom Brady would face the same parenting scrutiny if he showed the same behavior as Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James did on his son's AAU game.

LeBron drew plenty of criticisms for his antics during Bronny James' AAU game. The Lakers forward was seen joining his son's team during their pre-game routine, even throwing down a dunk. LeBron didn't hold back during the actual game itself, celebrating like crazy after his son thrilled the crowd with a massive throw down.

There was also an instance when James lost his shoe in celebration of a play that Bronny wasn't even involved in.

Plenty of critics questioned James' behavior, which they deemed inappropriate. However, other players like Jayson Tatum and Kyle Kuzma defended James and argued that he is just doing his duties as a father.

Perkins seems to be in support of the Lakers superstar, as his tweet suggests that it's unlikely Brady will receive the same criticism if he was in LeBron's position.

It's really hard to blame LeBron James for his celebration and behavior. For someone who grew up without a father, the future Hall of Famer is simply doing his best to support his children and be a good role model for them.
