LeBron James hasn’t beaten him one time and so that says a lot – Kendrick Perkins backs LA Clippers to go all the way

Former NBA Champion Kendrick Perkins has put his weight behind LA Clippers to go all the way in the upcoming season of the NBA. The Clippers were troubled by injuries in the previous season. However, despite injury woes, they finished in the eighth position in the Western Conference.

But they lost to New Orleans Pelicans in the play-in tournament. Meanwhile, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard will get back into the team after recovering from their respective injuries.

While George could not play for more than a season due to an elbow injury, Leonard was ruled out with an ACL injury. Furthermore, Perkins reckons that the Clippers have had a good off-season as they have added some promising players to their squad, including John Wall.

Perkins believes the LA Clippers have a quality coach in Tyronn Lue and the Lakers haven’t been able to beat them even once since he has taken charge of the team.

Speaking about them on NBA Today, he said: “I think the Clippers had the best offseason over any team in the NBA when you talk about the wing position, the most important position I already dove into that. But I’m looking at the Clippers, I have them as my favorites to win it all, I mean when you think about the coach in Tyronn Lue, LeBron James since Tyronn Lue has been the head coach of the Clippers, LeBron James hasn’t beaten him one time and so that says a lot.”

Perkins feels the Clippers have the best team in the NBA and tipped them to go all the way in the season.

“You also have a healthy Kawhi Leonard coming back, we saw how Paul George finished the season. The Clippers are right now, they are really really dangerous, they are really deep and I think they have the best team in the NBA when they start this season.” [sic]

Clippers will look to come up with a collective in the upcoming season of the NBA.
