Kendrick Perkins Tweets Kevin Durant: Going to Golden State Was the Weakest Move in NBA History
Kendrick Perkins played with both Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City. Today, ahead of Westbrook returning to OKC for the first time since he was traded, Perkins tweeted that he was going on SportsCenter to explain why he thinks Westbrook is the "best player to ever put on a Oklahoma City Thunder Jersey!!!" Unsurprisingly, Kevin Durant eventually got online and responded to this slight, with an assist from Celtics' media personality, Marc D'Amico.
He put together the best career within that organization, but he’s definitely not the best player to have ever put on a jersey for them. Cmon Perk!

I think Russ walked right into the door called “Second Round of the Playoffs” - THREE STRAIGHT TIMES!

Up until this point, it's a friendly debate about Russ vs. KD. Enter KD:
Boy stop you did the weakest move in NBA History!!! Up on a team 3-1 in the western conference finals and then go join them the following season?! Heart of Champion right there

Usually, when Kevin Durant is hiding behind his keyboard, this is not the type of person he's interacting with. Kendrick Perkins knows him and can find him if he really wants to. For KD's sake, let's hope Perk is just having fun. And if he's not, let's hope he shares his opinion on SportsCenter first.
UPDATE: They're still going.

That’s fine!!! You worked that hard and still had to go join a 73-9 team. Truth be told you don’t even feel like a real Champ, you have hard time sleeping at night huh knowing that you took the coward way out!!!
