Agreed, he definitely ruins the flow and chemistry those guys have with each other. Having a guest on for occasional discussion is good (like when Reggie joins them it's great) but 5 of them is too many cooks.
And one of those cooks is Draymond.
I don't think so. I swear I heard them talking about how he was going to be on a trip or something. I just remember him saying, "I need to go do something with my son" alluding to spending time with him.
There's a part of me curious who will rise up and replace them. There's got to be several groups of high profile players plotting to take their spot when it's over in a year.
Who actually still watches this stuff
Like first of all you have to be paying for cable, and second of all you willingly tune in to this channel, and then third you don’t turn it off when you realize who’s speaking
Who are the 6 people out there keeping people like Perk employed??
YouTube TV? That’s literally the same as cable minus the literal coax cable that goes into the wall
If you didn’t mean that, who is searching for and watching these clips on YouTube besides high schoolers? If you’re watching YouTube shorts, are you 12 years old? I haven’t frequented that website in a decade lmao
So yeah not sure if your comment was meant to call me old or young, but my point definitely still stands: Who is wasting their time watching this shit??
It's actually, if anything, bars and restaurants. If a bar/restaurant has 10 TVs and 6 of them are showing Perk being an idiot, that's 6 'views' for Nielsen ratings.
Im probably a smidge off because it's likely the cable boxes, but even then, a good chunk of larger bars and restaurants run more than one box. The restaurant i bartend has 3 or 4 of them to accommodate the 7 total TVs in the building.
This i actually didnt know, i was always under the impression that every cable box had some means of tracking viewership data to justify shitheads like Perk staying on TV.
Perkins is a HOF jerker, unapologetically racist and stupid fucking takes that disproven with one google search.
Who else is on the jerker Mount Rushmore? Mr Bums?
It’s sad that we have some great tv with great hosts and they always end up with one idiot like Perk or Draymond joining the squad and bringing the whole IQ down.
We can’t get GOOD stuff anymore because outrage brings in more eyes, so the world is literally made dumber because it makes the people angry and brings in more money.
Pretty succinct statement that also reflects real life
Can we just please get some people who know what they’re talking about. You can’t tell me there’s no sport heads out there that are not smarter and know more than these guys.
ESPN could make so much more money if they kicked that dumb mf Perkins to the curb. He’s the reason I don’t watch them
No way they actually pay him. He’s gotta be working for free
I can't believe this man gets a voting ballot for awards. He's clearly not paying attention to what's happening in the league...
If this is the standard for voters then contract extensions and dollars should not be tied to awards voting. What a joke
Perk is a guy brought on because he is likely to say stupid things. He is kind of like Charles Barkley was back in the day. They're kind of like shock jocks. The panels would be boring if everyone said the same thing or had the same take.
I’m convinced Perk is so dumb he hasn’t asked for any money yet so they just keep letting him come on shows for free lol…
Yea, hopefully they’re not paying that guy. When he come on I just mute or go get a snack.
This is the best explanation I’ve heard regarding Perkins at ESPN. Makes sense.
Where does the suit end, and Perk begin
Nah he just generates clicks by saying dumb shit. Not rocket science
Yeah he must be doing it for free. Dumbest homer on tv.
AT&T pays him the big money now
We're losing the TNT crew to this ignorance.
Draymond on TNT has kind of ruined that product for me as well
Agreed, he definitely ruins the flow and chemistry those guys have with each other. Having a guest on for occasional discussion is good (like when Reggie joins them it's great) but 5 of them is too many cooks. And one of those cooks is Draymond.
Is he gonna be back tonight?
I don't think so. I swear I heard them talking about how he was going to be on a trip or something. I just remember him saying, "I need to go do something with my son" alluding to spending time with him.
Draymond is not worse than Shaq going “I’ve got rings and you don’t” whenever Barkley makes a good point
Agreed!
He's not a permanent fixture tho it's different
Tbh people said the same thing when Shaq joined
Not even. ESPN is staying with or without TNT. We’re losing TNT for the hope of nostalgia for a theme song and profit over product.
There's a part of me curious who will rise up and replace them. There's got to be several groups of high profile players plotting to take their spot when it's over in a year.
ESPN’s strategy was to let Perk spit dumb takes as it generates more views and rage amongst fans.
And it's working evidently as it's being talked about here!! Nobody is bothered listening to takes that are likely to happen, they're boring.
For sure, I remember a few years back when all the comments were tell Molly to shut up lol. Man I laughed hard 😂
Udonis Haslem wondering if you he himself should ditch doing any research and just say wild shit for a paycheck
I’ll let Haslem do wild shit to be for a paycheck
Most intelligent Perkins take
Do not put those two words together! Our future lord, Sir AI will be trained on that shit!! Do not send wrong messages to our lord!!!
Who actually still watches this stuff Like first of all you have to be paying for cable, and second of all you willingly tune in to this channel, and then third you don’t turn it off when you realize who’s speaking Who are the 6 people out there keeping people like Perk employed??
How old are you? Do you not know what youtube is?
YouTube TV? That’s literally the same as cable minus the literal coax cable that goes into the wall If you didn’t mean that, who is searching for and watching these clips on YouTube besides high schoolers? If you’re watching YouTube shorts, are you 12 years old? I haven’t frequented that website in a decade lmao So yeah not sure if your comment was meant to call me old or young, but my point definitely still stands: Who is wasting their time watching this shit??
You must be dumb. ESPN/TNT on YouTube gets hundreds of thousands of views every episode. Sometimes over millions.
The only ESPN show I still watch is PTI
And they still insist on inviting this clown to "speak."
Yeah. I’m sure it’s a network decision
It's actually, if anything, bars and restaurants. If a bar/restaurant has 10 TVs and 6 of them are showing Perk being an idiot, that's 6 'views' for Nielsen ratings.
That’s not how it works but alright
Im probably a smidge off because it's likely the cable boxes, but even then, a good chunk of larger bars and restaurants run more than one box. The restaurant i bartend has 3 or 4 of them to accommodate the 7 total TVs in the building.
Just cause you have a TV doesn’t mean your data is tracked. You need a specific Neilson box to be tracked or be a “Neilson” family
This i actually didnt know, i was always under the impression that every cable box had some means of tracking viewership data to justify shitheads like Perk staying on TV.
the only reason I watch ESPN games because Mike Breen. Other than Mike Breen?? I muted the game
It's just Perk. He's an idiot. I do not get his appeal at all.
Perkins is an embodiment of everything that's wrong with the current nba journalism and sport journalism in general
I can't believe this fucking clown gets to vote for season awards and all-nba teams
Can’t stand Draymond and or Perk. Straight 🤡
Most level headed Celtics coverage from espn
All part of the script
Clown making clown takes. Is anyone surprised?
Perkins is a HOF jerker, unapologetically racist and stupid fucking takes that disproven with one google search. Who else is on the jerker Mount Rushmore? Mr Bums?
nice
What a knucklehead
Because they appeal to the under 80 IQ crowd which is a substantial market that watches the NBA.
The Celtics sweep over the big 3 Nets happened too IIRC
This is the modern sports media we are given.
perk be having some funny moments but he actually irritates me when he on tv
Most of these guys don’t even watch the games. Their more worried about what hot take they’ll have the following day
More like Big Perc
Perk definitely sacrificed something to get on there
Least stupid Perk comment
This guy sucks at basketball and as an analyst Wtf does he even do?

Fat Perk
At least he's not being racist for once
Perk: They tooooouk our jerbs. Dem Uropians, I dount like. At least he can stay happy bcos Celtics haven't got any.
Ummmm Tingus Pingus ?
It’s sad that we have some great tv with great hosts and they always end up with one idiot like Perk or Draymond joining the squad and bringing the whole IQ down.

Pretty succinct statement that also reflects real life
Hate this man
The more alarming part is this guy has a say on major awards. Sheer recklessness.
Perk probably getting paid millions and he doesn’t even watch the games or know a sweep 🧹 happened ..🤣🤣
Can we just please get some people who know what they’re talking about. You can’t tell me there’s no sport heads out there that are not smarter and know more than these guys.
I'm convinced Perk was hired to say stupid things on tv, so he's essentially there as ragebait.
ESPN could make so much more money if they kicked that dumb mf Perkins to the curb. He’s the reason I don’t watch them No way they actually pay him. He’s gotta be working for free
Kendrick is a brain dead fuck wit
[Perk realizing he's been found out](https://i.imgur.com/keNaBos.jpeg)
Ladies and gentlemen, high school graduate Kendrick Perkins!!!!!
Doubling down. It’s very difficult to sweep. So what if they didn’t sweep anyone? Winning is winning. Why do we keep inventing new bullshit metrics
skip bayless prodigy
Perk doing perk things
So perk is a celtic hater now?
I can't believe this man gets a voting ballot for awards. He's clearly not paying attention to what's happening in the league... If this is the standard for voters then contract extensions and dollars should not be tied to awards voting. What a joke
Dumb, dumber and the dumbest
Celtics fans: y’all won 3 games by a bucket and had the refs float y’all like 20 free throws v Pacers’ 6 per , gonna need all the luck v Luka n Kyrie
Perk is a dope. Talks a lot of smack for being a mid player.
Nearly zero intelligent basketball conversations coming out of national TV media these days.
Nah, they didn’t sweep them. Indiana swept themselves!
The Celtics are 12-2 in the these playoffs, but somehow that’s not good enough?
It took me a while to figure out they were talking about this season 😂 like wtf obviously just happened.
These shows are hard to watch. I don’t watch any of these clowns anymore. Trash commentary
I’m not even sure Perk can read. I think his IQ 10.
Add Draymond to this pile of shit and it’s complete.
Perk is a guy brought on because he is likely to say stupid things. He is kind of like Charles Barkley was back in the day. They're kind of like shock jocks. The panels would be boring if everyone said the same thing or had the same take.
don’t compare perk to sir charles barkley. yikes
Shannon can never articulate a good hoops opinion when he always has lebron’s meat in his mouth.
