OKC's Perkins upset with LeBron over tweet

Despite the fervor around Blake Griffin's dunk over him, Kendrick Perkins isn't backing down. And, he's upset with LeBron James. The Oklahoma City Thunder center told Yahoo! Sports that given the choice, he'd rotate to play proper defense every time. "If I was in the same position, in the same rotation, I'm going to jump again and again and again," Perkins said. "I don't care. A lot of people are afraid of humiliation or don't know how to handle embarrassment or would even get embarrassed. I don't care." James soared over John Lucas III a couple days prior to Griffin's dunk on Perkins. Following Griffin's slam, James took to Twitter to proclaim it the dunk of the year, ahead of his dunk on Lucas. Perkins wasn't pleased. "You don't see Kobe (Bryant) tweeting," Perkins said. "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. "I just feel (James) is always looking for attention and he wants the world to like him."
