Kyrie Irving Makes Kendrick Perkins 'Want to Throw Up' Because He Didn't Want to Play for the Boston Celtics

Kendrick Perkins appeared on the NBC Sports Boston broadcast of Tuesday night's Celtics - Rockets game. During the second quarter, some pro-Celtics chants could be heard in Houston, which prompted Perkins to talk about Boston fans. He didn't appreciate them while he was playing in Boston, but after he retired, he started to understand just how much they loved the Celtics. And then he brought up Kyrie Irving.

Perk finished the 2014-2015 season on the Cleveland Cavaliers with Kyrie, so the moratorium on going after former teammates is over.
My new motto with everything is, What Would Kobe do? He’d want us to focus more on the loss of his daughter. He’d want us to get past differences with our brothers and move on. He’d never want the game to be cancelled or be stopped. He’d want us to keep going! #RIPKOBE??????
