Kendrick Perkins does not believe Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is a ‘lock down defender’.

Perkins says Antetokounmpo can’t guard anybody and always runs from top superstars, like James Harden and Luka Doncic.

“Giannis don’t guard no body … and everybody around the league knows that. I watched Giannis last year in the Bubble— he ran from James Harden, he ran from Luka,” Perkins said, during his appearance on ESPN’s First Take.

“It’s a difference between sitting down and playing lockdown defense and playing free safety. Giannis floats, makes chase down plays and is versatile, but I don’t agree he’s a lock down defender! Carry on,” Perkins tweeted.
