Perkins: The media really hurts their relationship with KD, but I don t understand why people are angry

June 8th, recently, former Thunder player Perkins participated in "TheZachLoweShow" and talked about his transformation from a player to a media person.

Lowe: "Have your media work complicated your relationship with those former teammates? Especially Durant, who has tweeted you a few times."

Perkins: "It's hard because you know, you can't stand on the fence, you have to be honest. Especially when you're a team celebrity, the media will lay the red carpet for you after retirement. You don't even have to do too much, they will give you a platform. But when you're a role player - although I've won the championship and played for 14 years - I have to fight for opportunities myself, especially on ESPN. So I have to stay true in all directions, and I feel...you know what kind of person I'm, I'm the kind of person who speaks out, I'm more on TV than I'm more The same in the clothes room. I don't understand why people get so angry, but they do hurt some feelings. But I always say time can heal the wound, do you know what I mean? "

" So I won't be too entangled with it, I keep doing my job because that's how I see it: I've finished my basketball career, closed that page, and now I'm focusing on the media career in front of me. I don't get too entangled. I have a saying I learned from Spears, another ESPN reporter, and he said, 'Perkins, do you know how many people get angry about me every day? I always say, they'll be fine.' That's how I look at it, they'll be fine, we're just talking about sports."
