Former NBA player turned ESPN analyst, Kendrick Perkins, found himself at the center of a social media whirlwind after being unfollowed by none other than LeBron James.

The incident unfolded after Perkins made remarks on ESPN’s “NBA Today,” criticizing James for his comments about his former teammate, Kyrie Irving, during the 2024 NBA Finals. James had expressed his admiration for Irving and his wish to still be playing alongside the veteran guard. Perkins accused James of trying to steal the spotlight from the teams competing for the championship, saying,

 

“Bron weaseling his way into somebody else’s moment…This is not about you! Your team is at home. This is about the Mavs and the Celtics, but yet you’re so mad and disappointed that you’re not Kyrie Irving’s running mate anymore”.

 

The response from James was swift and silent—unfollowing Perkins on Twitter. Perkins’ reaction to this digital snub was both bold and controversial. He tweeted,

 

“Everybody didn’t follow Jesus, I’ll be ok,”

 

 

drawing immediate attention and backlash from fans and analysts alike. The tweet quickly became a hot topic, with numerous users responding to Perkins’ self-comparison to Jesus. The reactions ranged from humorous to critical, highlighting the divided opinions on Perkins’ statement.
