On “First Take” Wednesday, the controversial NBA analyst suggested MVP voters foster bias toward black players by pointing out that only Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash and Jokic have won the award since 1990 without finishing in the top 10 in scoring.
“What do those guys have in common? I’ll let it sit there and marinate. You think about it,” Perkins said. “When it comes down to moving the goalposts for certain individuals to win it, again, is it Oochie Wally? Or is it One Mic? What song are we actually dancing to right now, why is this subject not brought up?”
I’m surprised it took this long. Perkins had this choice:
A. Jokic is an all around elite player averaging a triple double on an elite team, so he’s deserving by of the MVP by any defined or historically held standard.
B. RACISM!
He chose B. From what I’ve observed, The black sports community gets annoyed/ticked when a white player wins MVP. I remember well when there was an uproar from them when Steve Nash won 2 in the mid 2000’s over Kobe and Shaq.
In the last 40 years, without looking, I’d say the MVP has gone to a black player well over 60% of the time.. maybe 75-80%? What about that Perk? Are black players entitled to the MVP?
some non-slick white guy comes over from Europe and completely tears up the league, and instead of “Wow, he’s amazing, and maybe we need to rethink and play different”.. it’s “NBA RACISM!!!!”
This line of logic is precisely why identity politics is bad for society. Don’t get competitive and better yourself, stay where you are and cry victimhood

Kendrick Perkins suggests Nikola Jokic is winning MVPs because he’s white
Nikola Jokic is on the verge of winning his third straight MVP award, and ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins has a reason why: racism.
