"No dignity just going for clicks," a fan commented.
"@KendrickPerkins please tell me your logic as to why you think Brunson is still better than Steph," commented another fan.
"I love Jalen Brunson and think he's a terrific point guard, but he's not on my team over Luka or Cade, again Brunson is a terrific point guard an amazing competitor and I understand the logic on why he's top 5, but even the Knicks would rather have Luka or Cade on their team to win a championship," a fan wrote.
"No way bro put “Brunson” over Luka and Curry," wrote another fan.
"Kendrick Perkins shouldn't be ranking anything other than breakfast burritos," a fan said.
