Thunder center Kendrick Perkins was posterized by Blake Griffin last week on a dunk that quickly went viral. Apparently, being dunked on by the Clippers star wasn’t as bothersome to Perkins as was a tweet by LeBron James.

Tweeted James: Dunk of the Year! @blakegriffin just dunked on Kendrick Perkins so hard!!! Wow! I guess I’m No. 2 now. Move over #6.

On Tuesday, Perkins told Yahoo! Sports‘ Marc Spears what he thought about James’ reaction.

“You don’t see Kobe [Bryant] tweeting,” Perkins said. “You don’t see Michael Jordan tweeting. If you’re an elite player, plays like that don’t excite you. At the end of the day, the guys who are playing for the right reasons who are trying to win championships are not worrying about one play.

“They also are not tweeting about themselves talking about going down to No. 2. I just feel [James] is always looking for attention and he wants the world to like him.”
