Watch: Kendrick Perkins falls for fake Twitter joke about Jonathan Kuminga’s height
During the offseason, rumors, trolling, different news and jokes spreads across the NBA Twitter community like wildfire. On Tuesday, Kendrick Perkins fell for a joke on Sportscenter about a member of the Golden State Warriors.
An account on Twitter “@Rackzz206” made a joke about Jonathan Kuminaga hitting a growth spurt over the offseason and growing to over 7 feet tall. Andre Iguodala chimed in with a reply on the tweet saying he just saw Kuminga and he’s grown to 7-foot-2.
Via @Rackzzz206 and @andre on Twitter:
I just saw JK. He 7’2

Despite Kuminga being listed at 6-foot-7, the former Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder center turned ESPN NBA analyst went on SportsCenter believing the rumors of Kuminga’s sudden growth spurt.
From reports I’m hearing, Jonathan Kuminga is now 7-foot-2. The kid has gotten better every single season. He has a nice skillset, his athleticism is through the roof.
