The Warriors owner’s wife made a weird taunt of ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins

The Warriors spent their winning lap after the Finals cataloging every little thing, real or imagined. The Splash Brothers both made it clear they had a list of tweets ready to be dredged; Draymond Green spent most of his Friday morning ripping everyone who wasn’t an avid dubs-booster.

ESPN’s power was particularly evident as Steph Curry recalled segments predicting he wouldn’t win a title back in August and just last week when Brian Windhorst said the Warriors had a “check book win” in the Finals.

But Nicole Curran, the wife of Warriors owner Joe Lacob, had perhaps the strangest taunt for an ESPN personality.

Curran, a courtside game with Lacob, celebrated the Game 6 win on the Instagram of Festus Ezeli, former Warriors center and current NBC Sports Bay Area analyst.

“All I’m saying, Kendrick Perkins, you can take it and shove it up your ass. Because I graduated from Harvard, Mothaf-ka,” Curran said.

Perkins, the former Celtic big man and current ESPN wildcard, has been a target for Warriors players and fans all season. The Harvard line, which is deeply bizarre in any context, makes a little more sense when you know that Perkins dressed in graduation robes for a live recording as the Warriors practiced during the Finals at Harvard. But just a little more sense.
