Kendrick Perkins offers public apology to 1 NBA star

ESPN NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins is at least willing to admit when he is wrong, as one player discovered on Wednesday.

On Wednesday’s “NBA Today,” Perkins said he owed Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton a public apology after doubting Haliburton’s status as a franchise guard two years ago. According to Perkins, Haliburton as proven his importance to the Pacers, and should be regarded as one of the best guards in the league.

“I was one of them that called him overrated two years ago, and I would like to issue a public apology. Young man, you are one of them,” Perkins said. “When we start to talk about Luka (Doncic), Jalen Brunson and these top dogs around the league, we have to mention this young man. He led a team to the NBA Finals. This man is one of the best leaders in the game. He’s a throwback guard. No one can question him in the clutch because he’s proven it on the big stage.”
