Former NBA champion and current ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins has changed his mind on his previous comments about the Milwaukee Bucks, who have seen improvement over the past few weeks.
When The Milwaukee Bucks started the game 2-8 at the beginning of the season, Perkins was sure that the Giannis Antetokounmpo-Damian Lillard duo would not work out. Fast forward to today, and he recently admitted that his previous approach was premature.
“At the beginning of the season I asked Giannis to take second place” Perkins recalled during a recent episode of NBA Today. “Of course Giannis will never do that, right? So Dame had to come up with something. Last year, when we saw Dame, he looked confused at times when he and Giannis shared a floor together.
“It looks cozy this year. He looks really comfortable in his role at the moment and picks the moments to be aggressive. …He found his niche playing alongside Giannis, which is great for the Milwaukee Bucks,” he concluded.
