Serge Ibaka to Kendrick Perkins: 'You cheated and didn't respect the game'
Serge Ibaka: If I was 30 in OKC I guess I am 45 now? The truth is I never lied about my age and I work extremely hard everyday without cheating and I have never been suspended. Everyone in the league knows that. You cheated and didn’t respect the game. Although I am disappointed I am not surprised to see these actions from someone who got his job by breaking the locker room code and by spreading lies about two of his former teammates and brothers like KD and Russ.

Perk taking an “in all seriousness” tone when he spoke and now hiding behind “it was a joke” is pathetic. Perpetuating garbage. – 4:01 PM

More on this storyline
During an ESPN broadcast, former NBA center Kendrick Perkins made a tasteless joke at the expense of Milwaukee Bucks big man Serge Ibaka. Perkins was discussing his time in Oklahoma City with Ibaka and other former teammates Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden. He noted how each player was either 23 years or younger before the 2011-12 campaign. He then alleged that Ibaka was “probably 30 at the time” because “certain individuals lie” about their age. -via For The Win / December 27, 2022
Serge Ibaka: Hey @KendrickPerkins , I count my blessings every day and I don’t usually react to comments about me. But It’s disappointing to hear someone I shared a locker room with spreading misinformation to be relevant and get views on TV and social media. You can talk about my game If I don’t play well, I will never have a problem with that. But to talk extra for no reason is really not acceptable. It is disrespectful to me and I feel like it is disrespectful to many Africans who have to live with that unfounded accusation. -via Twitter @sergeibaka / December 27, 2022
Serge Ibaka: When KD had a bad game you criticized him behind his back, and when Russ had a bad game then you criticized him. You were not a locker room leader, and then you continued doing the same in the media. I understand everyone needs to do their job and take care of their families, but you are proof not everybody knows how to do it with class and dignity. I have more to say about you but I am not that kind of person, but this time you went too far. -via Twitter @sergeibaka / December 27, 2022
