ESPN personality Elle Duncan was in disbelief over Kendrick Perkins’ pun about pain medication that he dropped during an appearance on “SportsCenter” Tuesday.

The former NBA champ was about to sign off, but first he had a joke prepared for Duncan — who opened the segment earlier by saying, “You know, when you work at ESPN, talking to Kendrick is one of the Perk-s.”

At the end of the segment, Perkins asked, “You ready for this one?”

Duncan replied, “Oh God, OK.”

With a straight face, Perkins said, “What you need Ibuprofen for when you can have a Perk?”

Part I…
