Kendrick Perkins, who has yet to officially retire from the NBA, last played with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He signed with LeBron James’ former […]

Banished from the playoffs once again before the NBA Finals, LeBron James had enough.

The Cleveland Cavaliers fell to the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the 2018 NBA Finals, and Kevin Durant was the reason for the Dubs’ victory.

Despite Stephen Curry downplaying a face-to-face with Cleveland Cavaliers honorary bodyguard Kendrick Perkins, his Golden State Warriors teammates were reportedly “disturbed” by the big man’s reluctance to move his knees and feet as Curry backpedaled following a last-second corner shot, which resulted in the conflict, according to ESPN’s Chris Haynes. Players cited that as the […]
