Can we talk about how Grant Williams saying he was gonna make both free throws to win his game last night but instead choked and then the Cavs came back to win in OT?

I watched the whole thing. Kendrick Perkins has had some really questionable quotes lately though. Just because you played basketball, doesn't mean you can debate it.

KP: I don't think Jokic should win MVP because he is stat-padding. Embiid is the MVP.
Also KP: People in the NBA stat-pad all the time, and it's okay to stat pad!
ALSO KP: Very strange that these white players win MVPs when they are not in the top 10 in the league in points. (As if points are the only thing that matters)

What I THINK hes saying is those guys won MVPs despite not being one of the top guys in points per game in their respective seasons. The only reason they won MVP despite not scoring a million points a game was because they are white.

How that makes sense idk

It's really strange to me that Perkins of all people has become a talking head after his playing career, but with takes like that, I really wish he hadn't.
