The feud between former Warriors superstar Kevin Durant and Kendrick Perkins clearly still exists.

"Instead of for me, saying, 'You know what? I'm about to attack you and hit you where it hurt.' And I did shoot some below-the-belt slugs that I wish I wouldn't have done.
"That's why I made my apology public."
