Perkins: When I became a commentator, I lost friends such as James Dewey. Old James was angry with me because of Brownies.

6686 Sports October 25th Former NBA player Perkins revealed when he was a guest on the "Out The Mud" podcast that he lost many friends while serving as an ESPN commentator.

"I lost Westbrook, KD, LeBron. But the shit I have to say... LeBron was mad at me because we were talking about Bronny and the draft.

I really didn't want to touch on that topic at the time, because first of all, we shouldn't be talking about the 55th pick. But sometimes you have a microphone in front of you and you have to finish your words." Perkins said.

Perkins said when talking about Brownie before that Brownie received the attention of the No. 1 pick, but there was a reason why he was selected with the 55th overall pick.
