The individual renowned as Big Perk certainly possesses a sizable personality.
Dallas Mavericks’ standout Luka Doncic has consistently dominated the Los Angeles Clippers throughout his career, and ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins is well aware of this fact. On Friday night, Doncic continued this trend by scoring 44 points and boasting a remarkable +32 in a 144-126 victory over the Clippers. The final score didn’t truly reflect the level of the Clippers’ struggle or the extent of Doncic’s dominance.
In an attempt to vividly illustrate Doncic’s mastery over the Clippers, Perkins took his commentary to new heights.
During halftime of the Los Angeles Lakers-Phoenix Suns game, the ESPN NBA Countdown crew analyzed highlights of the Mavericks’ win, and Perkins, in a somewhat unconventional move, removed his belt and began smacking the chair with it while emphatically expressing, “Didn’t I tell you? You got a hard head, huh? Didn’t I tell you, every time you play against me, to strap your shoes up? Didn’t I tell you? That’s what Luka Doncic does to the Clippers every single time.”

While Perkins’ display was hilariously over-the-top, it served as a somewhat accurate representation of the “rivalry” between Doncic and the Clippers. In 16 career games against Los Angeles, Doncic averages 33.0 points (shooting 49.9% from the field), 8.6 rebounds, and 7.5 assists. The 33 points per game rank as the second-highest for Doncic against any other NBA team (35.7 against Detroit).
Doncic has amassed 528 career points against the Clippers, marking his highest total against any opponent.
With the Mavericks and Clippers set to face off again on Saturday, November 25 in Los Angeles, it might be wise to advise Kendrick Perkins to have another designer belt ready for his expressive commentary.
