Perkins angrily criticized Doncic as one of the worst defenders in active duty. A. Smith: You re too ruthless to say that

May 2 News Although the Lakers ranked third in the Western Conference with 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season, in the first round of the playoff series, they could not limit the Timberwolves led by Anthony Edwards, and the total score of the series was eliminated 1-4.

In response, Kendrick Perkins ruthlessly bombarded Doncic's defense on Thursday's "First Take". He mentioned that Doncic was unable to effectively defend his opponents throughout the series. He seemed to focus on arguing with the referees on penalty rather than focusing on defensive tasks and bluntly said: "Luka Doncic is the worst defense star we have ever seen in modern basketball, no one."

Interestingly, Perkins' remarks immediately attracted the response of his partner Stephen A. Smith. Smith said: "You are too ruthless to say this. I really don't think... can't you change the euphemism? You can say that he is working hard but has shortcomings, or that he still needs to improve his defensive skills. You don't need to say that ruthlessly, Perkins. They always say I'm mean? I'm a good man compared to you."
