On May 29, the NBA playoffs continued. Famous commentator Perkins recently released a series of critical remarks about Timberwolves star Edwards. He said Edwards was not enough to be the league's appearance because of his own image and other reasons. He officially apologized earlier today. The cause of the incident comes from Perkins's views on the alliance's facade. He said that the facade of the alliance requires the image of the Gu family being married and having children, while Edwards's image is not enough. He said: "If you want to be an NBA storefront, you don't have to be a title like a champion, MVP, scoring champion, or even a strong personality. If Edwards wants to be an NBA storefront, you have to have a wife and a child. We all know that Edwards has signature shoes, advertisements, highlights, and good skills, but do you know what else you have to have? You have to be a role model."

Then Perkins continued: "Look at Bird, look at Bird." , Magic Johnson, Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal, James, Curry, what do they have in common? During their time in the league, they all had families, they all had wives and children. If you think this has no effect on being a role model, then you are wrong, it's not my make up, it's a fact. As for what happened after they retired, it's their private matter."

Edwards did not give a public response to Perkins' remarks. But earlier today, Perkins posted a social media apologizing to Edwards: "Edwards is one of my favorite players in the league, and maybe even my favorite player. I have apologized to this young king in private and now I want to apologize for my remarks on First Take yesterday. It's me that I'm wrong, brother. I'm not targeting you personally, but I can understand that it may sound like an offense."
