For reasons unknown, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James unfollowed Kendrick Perkins on social media. The former NBA champion dropped an epic response to this development that will have many fans amused.
Just recently, James talked about Dallas Mavericks All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving and how impressive his run to the NBA Finals has been so far. During an episode of the Lakers star’s podcast with NBA analyst JJ Redick, the league’s all-time leading scorer said he is happy and proud of his former teammate to watch him grow.

Along with the positive comment, James got real and said that he is so mad that he isn’t Irving’s running mate anymore. At this point in time, that honor belongs to All-Star guard Luka Doncic as the duo entered the NBA Finals as the duo who has averaged more than 50 points since Clyde Drexler and Terry Porter in 1992.
For his part, Perkins reacted to James’ comment about Irving and how he’s mad at him. The NBA analyst said that the Lakers star is weaseling himself into somebody else’s moment. The former champion added that it’s not about him anymore.

As a result of his recent comment about James, the four-time NBA champion has unfollowed him on social media. Perkins had the perfect response he posted on his official X account.
“Everybody didn’t follow Jesus, I’ll be ok,” Perkins tweeted.
The James-Irving duo played together as part of the Cleveland Cavaliers for a total of three seasons. Their partnership on the court has resulted in three trips to the NBA Finals against Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors and a lone championship victory in 2016.

It remains to be seen whether James will reply back to Perkins’ cheeky comment or let the whole issue slide. In any case, the King may have had enough of the former Boston Celtics big man.
