Kendrick Perkins Labels Kevin Durant As “Sensitive”
Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Durant have had their history with one another. For those who don’t remember, Perkins and Durant actually got to play with one another on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Eventually, both players went their separate ways, and now, Perkins is a member of the media for ESPN. A while back, Perkins upset Durant after claiming that Russell Westbrook is the better player in the context of the Thunder’s franchise history. This led to a social media back and forth, with neither player being able to repair the friendship.
During a recent Sports Illustrated cover story by Chris Mannix, Perkins spoke about his brief public feud with KD, and how he finds the Brooklyn Nets star to be a bit too sensitive. Perkins noted that he has to criticize people as a member of the media and that Durant’s response to it all is immature.

“Think about this. I’m still cool with all my friends, everybody from the NBA family I still could call, I still go to dinner with, I still hang with, we still good people. They know I got a job to do. Except for one person. That’s Kevin Durant,” Perkins said. “So guess what? That tells me that I’m doing my job well and I’m staying loyal to my brotherhood. Especially the people that I know. Only sensitive guys get mad because you got to talk about them in the media.”
Perkins has ruffled quite a few feathers during his time with ESPN although it’s quite obvious he doesn’t care who he offends. No matter what, he’ll continue to do his thing.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
