The quarrel between Sacramento Kings forward Rudy Gay and Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins has officially escalated into a healthy beef.
Gay called Perkins a "clown" on Saturday, saying that Perkins should "play with his face painted."
Perkins fired back on Sunday, as relayed by Royce Young of ESPN.

More Perk on Rudy Gay: "At least if I paint my face I can wash the paint off. A virus gets in your bloodstream. You can't get rid of that."
