In an appearance on “The Drive Guys” on Wednesday, ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins elaborated on his argument that Kings center Domantas Sabonis ought to be considered for the MVP award.
Perkins presented a case on NBA Today for Sabonis’ inclusion in the conversation.
Speaking with Kevin “Whitey” Gleason and Kyle Draper, Perkins elaborated on his earlier remarks, saying that Domas ought to be taken into account if the race is going to be determined by numerical means.
“Sabonis is averaging 20 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists per game, and his team is winning,” Perkins stated. “He’s leading the league in double-doubles and triple-doubles.” “My concern is that Sabonis isn’t mentioned or that bringing up his name causes trouble.”
The ESPN presenter continued, saying, “I’m here to tell the people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear,” which is why he feels comfortable bringing up Sabonis in the MVP race.
