Kendrick Perkins has no filter when he’s on camera and it leads to many unintentionally hilarious moments.
This time around, he was on The Old Man & the Three Podcast with JJ Redick and one segment raised some eyebrows when Perkins admitted that he was terrified of facing LeBron James in Game 7 of the 2008 playoffs.
He admitted that he was so scared that he wished injury on LeBron.
“We played the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2008 and it was a Game 7 right. We had just lost Game 6 and I ain’t gonna lie man, I was scared as hell going into that Game 7 against LeBron James,” Perkins said. “This was the only time that I actually prayed that something happened to him at practice. I’m being real. I was like let us get breaking news that LeBron has tore his ACL or something. I’m not even lying, I’m not even exaggerating.”
LeBron dropped 45 points on the Celtics in that Game 7, but they still managed to pull off the victory, as only one other Cavalier scored in double digits.
James presented a lot of problems for the Celtics during the 2008 postseason, averaging 26.7 points per game.
