ESPN personality Elle Duncan was in disbelief over Kendrick Perkins’ pun about pain medication that he dropped during an appearance on “SportsCenter” Tuesday.
The former NBA champ was about to sign off, but first he had a joke prepared for Duncan — who opened the segment earlier by saying, “You know, when you work at ESPN, talking to Kendrick is one of the Perk-s.”
At the end of the segment, Perkins asked, “You ready for this one?”
Duncan replied, “Oh God, OK.”
With a straight face, Perkins said, “What you need Ibuprofen for when you can have a Perk?”
He then smirked and leaned back in his chair.
Duncan put her head down in silence.
“Uh, the lean back,” she said as they were heard laughing.
“I literally can’t stand you and I love you.”
Perkins made an appearance on “SportsCenter” to preview the season-opening game between the defending champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Houston Rockets.
The Thunder beat the Rockets in double overtime, 125-124.
