For a player who won an NBA title with the Boston Celtics in 2008, former Boston big man and current NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins can be pretty tough on his former ball club. That may be because he knows how good they can be at their best, but at times in the past it’s come off as a bit antagonistic.
But consider Big Perk a convert after the Celtics’ recent successful West Coast swing that saw them blow out the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Clippers, beat the Los Angeles Lakers handily, and dropped one to the Golden State Warriors.
Speaking on a recent episode of ESPN’s Pat McAfee show via Boston Dot Com’s Conor Ryan, Perk said that Boston “proved to me and the rest of the world that they’re the best team in the NBA.”
