Lou Williams fires back on Twitter at Kendrick Perkins for criticism

Former NBA big man turned outspoken ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins said what a lot of people were thinking about Lou Williams: What were you thinking? A strip club? To pick up some wings? Really?
Williams stood his ground and was having none of that.
15 years in this business and the most dirt you have on my name is stopping to get hot wings during a pandemic. Perk. Shut up. And stop laughing and saying it’s just tv when you run into me too. https://t.co/2xnCpG9I1J

Williams was granted permission to leave the NBA’s restart bubble in Orlando to attend a memorial service for a family member, something he did.
But I digress. I went home to see a man off to his final resting place that was a giant in my life. I don’t want that to get lost in all this attention. So again, LONG LIVE THE GREAT PAUL WILLIAMS SR. back to my quarantine so I can join the guys soon. Peace

However, while out he detoured by the Magic City strip club in Atlanta, where rapper Jack Harlow posted a picture with Williams on his Instagram story Thursday night. Harlow quickly deleted it, but nothing dies on the Internet.
Williams owned up to being in the club to NBA investigators. Williams insisted this was all about dinner — the club does sell “LouWill lemon pepper BBQ wings” — and that he was not hanging out in the club.
Ask any of my teammates what’s my favorite restaurant in Atlanta is. Ain’t nobody partying. Chill out lol #Maskon #inandout

Williams still got a 10-day quarantine from the NBA. The league’s concern was not the food or what goes on in the club, it’s the other people in a confined indoor space who were not following the same safety protocols Williams was supposed to be observing.
Williams will miss at least two of the seeding games for the Clippers but will be ready to go when the playoffs start.
