Kendrick Perkins to LeBron: Get Off Twitter, You Loser
Kendrick Perkins, who hasn’t been heard from since Blake Griffin savagely dunked on him a week ago, had this to say when Marc Spears of Yahoo asked him about said slam:
“You don’t see Kobe [Bryant] tweeting,” Perkins said. “You don’t see Michael Jordan tweeting. If you’re an elite player, plays like that don’t excite you. At the end of the day, the guys who are playing for the right reasons who are trying to win championships are not worrying about one play.
“They also are not tweeting about themselves talking about going down to No. 2. I just feel [James] is always looking for attention and he wants the world to like him.”
Just looked it up: Miami at Oklahoma City, March 25th, 8 pm. Circle it on your calendar. There will be an NCAA tournament game or three that night, but you’ll want one eye on this game.
As for Perk’s quotes, while I agree, I wonder – is twitter a generational thing for athletes? Over-30 stars like Tom Brady, Derek Jeter, Albert Pujols and A-Rod aren’t on twitter; but under-30 stars like Aaron Rodgers, Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard and Justin Verlander are active on twitter. What to make of Drew Brees (35 33), then? [Yahoo]

Not sure if this is nitpicking or not, but I don’t see where he called Lebron a “loser”. The title makes it seem very salacious.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:52 PM
I only use twitter to keep up with breaking news, and the Joe Paterno story proved how unreliable and stupid that is. The rest is just narcisstic bullshit to me.

DING DING DING. now tell him what he’s won.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:52 PM
This didn’t look right, so I googled “salacious” and it doesn’t mean what I thought it did.
The lesson, as always, is that I’m no Tyberious Duffyngton, III.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:52 PM
The title makes it seem very $alaciou$.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:53 PM
sweet lead in for what could potentially be the new greatest dunk of the century.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:54 PM
Actually there will be two regional final games that afternoon. Final Four is early this year.

MJ’s still a great player? seems like he’d have ample opportunity to tweet during his retirement…er…ownership duties.

February 8th, 2012 at 12:57 PM
Agreed
If I recall correctly, other than Durant, these guys barely even use their account. I was just thinking the other day, that you really don’t see the “elite” athlete with twitter accounts or fucking around on twitter.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:58 PM
March 25th, 8 pm. Circle it on your calendar.

Thanks for posting that Vlad, I love TJ.

February 8th, 2012 at 12:58 PM
apparently Perk deleted his twitter account because he was getting so much flak for Blake’s dunk. Methinks if Kendrick Perkins had the marketability of LBJ, he would tweet nonstop.
February 8th, 2012 at 12:58 PM
no…good?
February 8th, 2012 at 12:59 PM
I think it’s more of a personality thing than an age thing.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:00 PM
Worth a listen. Also worth it based on the album cover alone.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:00 PM
Love it…but KD tweets all the time. More than Lebron does.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:00 PM
Larry Legend settled the age old debate of the TBL comments section today. Figured you’d post on that.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:01 PM
Ochocinco used to be pretty good. But yeah I guess it depends on your definition of elite. Welker and Gronkowski are pretty big, in my world anyway. Along with Wilfork.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:02 PM
Nevermind. Just wanted to post that dunk again, I see. Carry on.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:03 PM
Evgeni Malkin and Wayne Rooney fuck around on twitter all the time.

does twitter ever serve as a legit resource for anything other than playground gossip?
maybe twitter should limit the number of tweets a person can post a year.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:03 PM
Yea, but like Perkins said, KD isn’t congratulating everybody under the sun and trying to put the impression out there that he is a really good guy like LeBron does with what seems like every single goddamn tweet he puts out there.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:04 PM
He deleted it a couple of weeks before that Griffin dunk.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:04 PM
Rodgers doesn’t look at it during the season, possibly to ignore Skip Bayless trolling him but I’m not sure…but during the offseason he’ll use it frequently in stretches, I enjoyed the day he was watching Heavyweights and commenting on it throughout
February 8th, 2012 at 1:04 PM
The jacket and puffy shirt the dude on the right is rocking is certainly majestic.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:05 PM
Twitter is whatever you make it. Mine is a compilation of places to eat near me, beat writers for my local teams, fans of teams I enjoy interacting with and you losers.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:05 PM
this is pretty sweet.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:05 PM
I guess I don’t see NFL QBs (other than Vick) use twitter on a daily basis or have one at all. That said, I don’t follow every NFL quarterback so I could be wrong.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:06 PM
I remember KD got into it with a couple of fans on Twitter one night and exchanged back-and-forth disses with what I presume were teenage girls. They ganged up on him by calling him “cottage cheese face”.
/ Twitter beef!
February 8th, 2012 at 1:06 PM
Right? Looking at it you’d think “these guys have got to be British.” Fucking Texans.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:07 PM
Tomorrow the NHL makes the official announcement of the Red Wings vs. Leafs in the Winter Classic at the Big House. Earlier today, U of M regents approved the sale of alcohol for the game.
110,000+ for an NHL game….
February 8th, 2012 at 1:07 PM
Pretty much, this. I didn’t think highly of it when I started. I started by following writers whose work I enjoy. Following news organizations can give you a pretty good newsfeed.
Twitter is the first thing I hit if I want to know what’s going on, news-wise.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:07 PM
Sure. During the NFL season, its certainly the fastest way to find out about transactions and who’s active/inactive before a game. It certainly depends on who you follow but if youre looking for solid information you can find it.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:08 PM
This reminds me of this.
I think we should only get 3 honks a month on the car horn. Then, someone cuts you off, you press the horn, and nothing happens. You’re like, “Crap! I wish I hadn’t seen Ricky on the sidewalk!”

If you’re a pro athlete, Twitter seems like a great way to set up road-trip sex.

Twitter is by far the easiest place to pick up chicks with low self esteem. The more heavily instagrammed a photo is, the more mentally fragile they are and desperate for love.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:10 PM
This, coupled with a smartphone and an app where you can manage your fantasy football team, and you really don’t ever need to be tethered to your laptop on an NFL Sunday.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:10 PM
That’s a shitload of keys.

oh, so you mean boobs right?
February 8th, 2012 at 1:11 PM
No it’s a personality thing. Ocho and Shaq were early adopters and they’re both well past 30. I don’t think someone like Jordan would have ever been active on twitter. The man protected his brand by never letting his personal beliefs out.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:12 PM
Jordan doesn’t seem to have a sense of humor. For athletes who have a sense of humor it’s a good outlet.
For athletes who just talk about religion and retweet Rev Run’s bullshit, it’s a waste of space.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:12 PM
It’s a good thing you’re a lawyer.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:13 PM
What to make of Drew Brees (35), then?
That he likes Twitter like me.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:13 PM
I used be against Twitter because the first I was introduced to it on TV, it was during the Jimmy Fallon show with him and Russell Brand promoting it while drinking Bud Lime. My 3 least favorite things.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:14 PM
I am really looking forward to following Cody Ross, he seems entertaining. If someone can get Pedroia on Twitter, it’s him. Dustin seems made for Twitter.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:16 PM
Fixed for what Joe Lewis Arena usually looks like based on percentage filled.
Half the Big House will be Leafs fans.
2 OHL games, 2 NCAA games, and an AHL at Comerica round of the festitives.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:17 PM
Brees was mentioned here, but he basically just uses the social media to keep people up to date on the team, his sponsors, and his happenings. He’s not on there to tell us he had a ham sandwich for lunch or this week’s American Idol was AWESOME!
February 8th, 2012 at 1:17 PM
