Former NBA<\/a> center and current ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins was involved in an altercation at one of his son\u2019s recent AAU basketball games in Norman, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

Perkins is known on-screen as someone who doesn\u2019t mind having a verbal argument about sports with his colleagues, but a video from the AAU game via TMZ Sports<\/a> shows the 6-foot-10 big man being held back as he screamed at someone not seen in the video.<\/p>\n

Perkins coaches his son\u2019s YPG Perkins team, and things were getting chippy against their opponent, Swaveway Playaz. However, a non-basketball foul sent the 2008 NBA champion over the edge.<\/p>\n

Perkins can be seen yelling toward someone, while coaches on his team were pushing him away to alleviate the tension.<\/p>\n

As the video went viral<\/a>, Perkins responded to it on social media.<\/p>\n

“Damn right, and it probably won\u2019t be the last time!” Perkins wrote on X. “I\u2019m going to protect every single kid in my organization like they\u2019re my own.”<\/p>\n

Perkins also addressed the altercation during an appearance on ESPN\u2019s “The Pat McAfee Show,” where he made the stance he was trying to protect his players.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re in a tournament; it\u2019s a heated game. 17U, they\u2019re going back and forth or whatever,” Perkins said. “We end up winning the game, all right cool. The other team, they had this guy who\u2019s like 7-foot, 400 pounds. After the game, he comes and he body slams one of my kids who plays for my team. I stay seated and then I get up \u2018cause everybody\u2019s running around. The players, they\u2019re about to fight. So, as a responsible owner of the organization, I get up and, \u2018Hey man, y\u2019all need to chill,\u2019 X-Y-Z. I\u2019m grabbing my players. I tell the coach of the other team, \u2018Hey bro, get your players. I got mine.\u2019 He pops off. \u2018I ain\u2019t getting nothing, I ain\u2019t getting nothing. Who the hell are you.\u2019<\/p>\n

“The kid that got slammed to the ground, his parents weren\u2019t at the game. So, his parents trusted me with their child. So, I gotta protect that child as if he\u2019s mine. I\u2019m going to stand up for him, even though I didn\u2019t go over there with bad intentions, I gotta make sure that kid is OK and he makes it back home to his parents. He\u2019s a young man, but again, he plays in my organization. So, I gotta make sure, by any means necessary, that he\u2019s safe.”<\/p>\n

Before Perkins was on-air talking about the NBA, the Texas native played 14 seasons in the league, helping the Boston Celtics<\/a> win the 2008 title.<\/p>\n

He spent eight of those seasons in Boston, averaging 6.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, developing into a starting center for his squad.<\/p>\n

During the 2010-11 season, Perkins was traded from the Celtics to the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>, where he spent five seasons. He also played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Pelicans before retiring from the league.<\/p>\n
