ESPN Analyst Destroys Colleague for Race Baiting

Former NBA star and now sports analyst J.J. Redick recently called out his ESPN colleague for race-baiting.
During a recent airing of the ESPN sports talk show First Take, Redick slammed former NBA champion and now ESPN analyst, Kendrick Perkins for claiming NBA MVP voters have a racial bias when it comes to black basketball players.
Perkins previously claimed on First Take that if Denver Nuggets’ Center Nikola Jokic wins the MVP again it’s because he’s white.
In response to Perkin’s previous comments Redick stated, “What we’ve just witnessed is the problem with this show where we create narratives that do not exist in reality. The implication, what you are implying, that the white voters are that vote on NBA are racist. ”
As Redick was talking Perkin’s would close his eyes and look up and start speaking over Redick.
WATCH:


Here was Perkin’s original comments:


Per Outkick:

JJ Redick finds Kendrick Perkins’ views on NBA voters being racist absolutely disgusting.
Perkins has of late, attempted to claim NBA MVP voters must be racist because only three players outside the top 10 of season scoring leaders have ever won the MVP since the 1990s: Steve Nash, Nikola Jokic, and Dirk Nowitzki.
Apparently, that’s a sign MVP voters must be racist, and if Nikola Jokic wins again, it’s because he’s a white dude and nothing more.

Nikola Jokic has won the MVP award the last two years and this year he is in the running to win it a third team.
As of right now Jokic is averaging a triple double and has the Denver Nuggets in first place in the Western Conference.

Just gonna say this is part of the problem with publications like the one you linked. He didn't destroy him. He just offered a strong rebuttal. There's no destruction going on. Everyone knows ESPN hosts/guests like to go on and say controversial things to get attention. This case is no different. All the attention they're getting from this is exactly why they say things like this on their shows. Best thing to do is give it zero oxygen.

Everywhere on the internet there are headlines like "breaks silence" "destroys" "crushes" "torches" etc. That's not news and it certainly doesn't lend to credibility. And the reality is the right wing sites are FAR worse about this than the left. They have their own problems with false headlines like we saw with Michael Knowles comments earlier this week and the corresponding headlines which had to be changed due to threats of libel.

It's the wrestling factor. People love to watch arguments and fights me included.

Jokic deserved the MVP and he'll deserve it again if he wins this year. A 7 footer averaging a triple double is insane. 4th in the NBA in assists as a center is insane. I reject Perkins' argument completely.

Jokic just proved he deserved a 3rd consecutive MVP. What a talent!

For one of the few times we unanimously agree on this subject! Great week for Serbia with Jokic and Djokovic winning big!

People of all colors need to STOP this bullshit racism narrative that primarily black people are pushing that white folks are waking up each morning to discriminate and be racist against black folks

I find myself disgusted at this NEW equity based basketball MVP program where the fan voters are being demanded, shamed or pushed to vote to vote for the color of the skin instead of the performance as they see it on the floor

Ask the Asian guy who made 1590 out of 1600 on SAT and was denied admission to multiple schools while black applicants who made far lower were admitted over him.

I do not advocate violence but at some point, we may see Asian mobs burning and looting based on the blatant racism and I personally would not convict a one for the protests.

BLACK RACISM IS ALIVE AND WELL ACROSS AMERICA! Shows in these two examples. I wish it didn't.

Or was it theatrics just for ratings for the show. That is so divisive so causing division is all about profits?
