My Take
Kendrick Perkins built a career on toughness, and I always valued that. Coming straight out of a Texas high school into the NBA, the towering 208-centimeter center became the enforcer on the 2008 Boston Celtics championship team alongside Garnett and Pierce. He wasn't there to score; he set screens, protected the rim and brought an edge teams need in the playoffs. What I find interesting is his second act as an ESPN analyst, where that same blunt intensity makes him compelling on television. Bouncing from Boston to Oklahoma City to Cleveland to New Orleans, he stayed a winning-culture piece. Few role players reinvent themselves on camera that well.
