Kevin Durant may be too injured to play at the moment, but his roasting ability is still on point.

Appearing on Inside the NBA Thursday night to announce his choice of players for the upcoming All-Star matched slated for Sunday night, Durant took a moment to remind viewers of Kendrick Perkins' inability to pronounce Nikola Vucevic's name. Because really, what's an All-Star draft without some solid trolling? (Video via Bleacher Report)

Appearing on ESPN's “First Take” just over a week ago, Perkins not only butchered Vucevic's name but made the argument that the Orlando big-man was undeserving of his All-Star nod. While the former Celtics big man acknowledged that Vucevic had put together an impressive individual campaign, the Magic's lackluster record should have placed the center a spot below Domantas Sabonis in the coaches' selection of reserves, to hear Perkins tell it.

Thankfully for Sabonis, however, the Pacers' center still made the final roster as an injury replacement for Kevin Durant.

Regardless of whether or not Orlando's team record should have impacted Vucevic's candidacy, there is no denying that the big man has had a tremendous season thus far. In just under 34 minutes on the court, the center has put together a stat line of 24.6 points per game, 11.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, all while carrying a 54.8 effective field goal percentage. While the Magic have been unable to capitalize on his production, Vucevic's development into a legitimate star has been one of the lone bright spots for a franchise wrecked by injuries to its top players.

Considering the upward trajectory of Vucevic's career, Perkins should start practicing the center's name since he's likely to call it out for seasons to come. And just in case anyone else may be struggling with it, it's VOOCH-uh-vitch.
