On Wednesday, Kendrick Perkins and Brian Scalabrine, two former Celtics champs, continued their feud.

Scalabrine triggered the incident last week when he mentioned on SiriusXM Radio that Perkins isn’t exactly welcomed by his former team, especially given the vocal ESPN personality’s history of criticising the Celtics. 

“No, no, no, no, no, no,” Scalabrine said when asked if Perkins was invited to the Celtics’ latest championship parade on Friday. “Big scarlet letter. … It’s not really an open-arms thing with Kendrick Perkins.”

Scalabrine reiterated earlier this week that Perkins is persona non grata in Boston due to his nasty statements regarding Joe Mazzulla, Jayson Tatum, and the rest of the Celtics.

Scalabrine specifically mentioned Perkins’ critique of Mazzulla from earlier this season, in which the former Celtics centre questioned the Celtics coach’s IQ and overall attitude. 

“They have two Joe Mazzullas,” Perkins said. “They have the one that got the philosophy of ‘we’re going to get up more 3s than you.’ When they hit them, he looks great.”

“Then you have the other Joe Mazzulla, who just stands over there,” Perkins added. “And you wonder, if you take his brain out and you put it in a bird, the bird is going to start flying backward. You got that Joe Mazzulla.”

Given that Mazzulla himself offered up a subtle jab at Perkins weeks later, Scalabrine doesn’t believe that Perkins would be a popular figure with this current Celtics roster. 

“I think the comments about Joe Mazzulla were out of hand,” Scalabrine said on the “Courtside Club” podcast. “You can’t call the coach of the Boston Celtics a dodo bird. You just can’t do that. Look, I don’t know for a fact that organization is like, ‘Nah, we don’t want nothing to do with Kendrick Perkins.’ 

“Anybody else from ’08, anybody else from back in the day, there’s old-timers coming through all the time. I’m just not sure that Jayson Tatum and Joe Mazzulla and Jaylen Brown are gonna love when Kendrick Perkins shows up. I’m just not sure about that.”

Perkins quickly responded to Scalbrine’s first statements about him, coming onto 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Felger and Mazz” on Monday and labelling Scalabrine a “coward”. 

“Right now, I feel like you’re ducking me,” Perkins added of Scalabrine. “I got a problem with that. We can’t have a grown-man conversation?”

Scalabrine stated on the “Courtside Club” that he has no negative thoughts towards Perkins.

“We won a championship together, I don’t have a problem with Kendrick Perkins,” Scalabrine said. “I’m not sure if the organization looks at Kendrick Perkins and has, like, an open-arm policy. That’s it.”
