Kendrick Perkins shares harrowing death threat tale over Giannis Antetokounmpo ‘Robin’ take
NY Post
Kendrick Perkins’ hot takes are getting people a little too worked up.
The former NBA champion and ESPN personality revealed on the “Road Trippin'” podcast with Channing Frye that Milwaukee Bucks fans went wild after he said that Giannis Antetokounmpo was the “Robin” to Khris Middleton’s “Batman” during the 2021 NBA Finals.
“I started getting a death threat,” Perkins said during the podcast. “It was going to my wife’s account. This dude was sending me threat after threat. ‘I am going to kill your kids. I know where you stay. I am going to murder you.’ This was real life.”
The fan took some serious umbrage at Perkins’ characterization of Antetokounmpo and Middleton’s roles — in Batman lingo — on the 2021 Bucks.
“I’ve been preaching time and time again that [Middleton is] the Batman of this team and Giannis is the Robin and look,” Perkins said in 2021, “it’s okay to be the Robin — people think that’s a bad thing. It’s not.”
Perkins shared the messages with ESPN and who helped identify the sender, who was later arrested.
