All hell broke loose between JJ Redick and Kendrick Perkins on 'First Take' Tuesday morning.
Perkins vehemently disagreed with Redick's criticism ... screaming at the former NBA star-turned-commentator ... saying,"I stated the facts and you not about to sit up here and act like it's something more than that."
In case you missed it, Perk explained his side last week ... saying,"When it comes down to guys winning MVP since 1990, it’s only three guys that won the MVP that wasn’t top 10 in scoring -- Steve Nash, Jokic, and Dirk Nowitzki. What do those guys have in common?" Kendrick doubled down on his position after JJ's callout on Tuesday ... tweeting,"Last year I was a c***. This year I’m a racist. Well damn, which one is it? IT’S NEITHER. I call out facts and not afraid to address the elephant in the room."
FWIW, Jokic's numbers this season are on par with his averages from his two MVP campaigns, but Denver is on pace to surpass its win totals the last two years ... which may ultimately tip the scale in his favor with the voters.
