ESPN NBA commentator Kendrick Perkins has had some outlandish takes in his career, but this one may take the cake.
In an appearance on ESPN's "NBA Countdown" on Sunday to discuss the Boston Celtics' 114-94 win over the Miami Heat in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series, Perkins declared that the series is already over, and that the Heat have no chance to win.
In fact, he was so confident that the Heat are done for that he even said that the Heat would lose the series even if they didn't miss a single shot.
"The Miami Heat could go 100 percent from the field and 100 percent from the three, and they're still gonna get swept in this series," Perkins said, as Sports Illustrated reported.

Perkins' take was immediately torn apart on social media.
"Kendrick Perkins is 100% stupid," wrote one user on X.
