Kendrick Perkins: If you ask him my preference, some people like to drink hen, some people like to drink tequila. At the end of the day, they both get you drunk. But if you're asking me who I think had the better career, Dwyane Wade got three chips. But James Harden to me, the story him leaving OKC, no one really believing that he was going to turn into the player that he did, especially in that Rockets uniform… In my eyes, James Harden is a top 10 scorer of all time. Let me say this, top 10 offensive player all time that I've ever seen. And I'm not taking nothing away from Luka Doncic and what he's doing right now. A lot of people are amazed by it. I am. He's putting up numbers but we've seen this movie before. James Harden was doing this sh*t in Houston. Like it was a point of time well James the only thing that was standing in James Harden way was KD and Steph on the same team. Like real talk, that motherf*cker averaged 36 in the season. We thought he was going to average 40. Seriously, like the 60 point triple doubles, he was doing that sh*t. Now the ring culture and them getting rings, I get all that. D-Wade, I'm a fan of his. But if you're asking me who had the better career or who I'm taking, no disrespect to D-Wade, this is my opinion: I'm taking James Harden.

The Rockets were having fun. Durant was hyping up the crowd, and players were celebrating with each other. Team chemistry seemed to be restored, if it ever did fade away. And KD, obviously, kept his receipts. As soon as he walked into the press conference, Durant took a slight dig at Perkins and the media. “How was the body language tonight? Was it good? How were the vibes? Good vibes?” Kevin Durant asked reporters before they could get any questions off. The room erupted in laughter once the Slim Reaper smirked. They knew what the underlying intention was behind the statement.

“Guys, who are your connectors?” Kendrick Perkins “Yeah, they’re definitely not having team dinners, I can tell you that.” Channing Frye: “Hell no.” Kendrick Perkins “You can tell that after the games, after practices, everybody goes their separate ways. There’s no camaraderie, no hangouts. Nobody’s pulling them together to do [__]. Again, I’m just looking at it overall. When I go back to the trade deadline, it’s like the Rockets put out publicly that Amen Thompson and Sengun were untouchable when you had Giannis on the table. Was that really the right message to be putting out there? They’re untouchable when you’ve got Giannis? Giannis with the Rockets—now all of a sudden he becomes Batman, and KD could be the Robin. That’s a dangerous Robin. I would say more like 1A and 1B, right? Because Giannis, the way that he applies pressure, would open up so much for KD.”
Kendrick Perkins: They got back Gordon, but they still meet missing Watson and they need him back, right? Because they struggle to get stops. It's uncharacteristic that we see from Nikola Jokic late-game execution like he's been pretty damn horrible over the last month and a half and look when it comes to late game now, he got some big time buckets but I'm talking about the turnovers I'm talking about his plus-minus and then on top of that I don't believe that Jokic is in the best shape and he's still putting up these numbers. I believe that Jokic needs to be in better shape because remember when Jokic was at his best, we saw him before that championship run, he was running those stairs in the off season, like we was seeing all the video. He looked more ripped up. He looked shredded and he was playing both sides of the basketball.
Draymond Green goes off on Kendrick Perkins: Yeah, Perk, you never had bad games. Perk, we seen you play big fella. We saw you, big dog. Like, you played. You know what I’m saying? Like to go in on one bad night Perk, you played. We got the clips. We got your clips of your screen setting. We got clips of your jump shots Perk. We got clips of your jump hooks. Like you played big Perk. So, like careful man. We can start pulling clips how. Big Perk.

Kendrick Perkins: The only time that I ever got punked in my life. I'm like second third year in the league, I’m 19. And we bring in Michael Olowokandi. Every day of practice, for some reason, he's just going at me, right? I'm trying to scratch and claw just to even get a jersey. (…) So he's going at me every day in practice. I'm like, and I'm saying going at me, it's like elbows, I'm like, dog, are you okay? He just doesn't like me. So one day we tangle up at practice, right? So it's like one day we tangle up at practice a little bit. People break it up, but I'm like, man, you got me f*cked up. We get this at shoot around. We get to the arena for the game. I'm chilling in my locker, right? I got my chair turned. I'm sitting in my locker. I got music bumping. This is when everybody jamming music. I turn around, dude is standing over me, right? So he walks up. So I look up. I turn like this, I look up. I'm like, "Hey, bro. You good, man?" The dude just start choking the sh*t out of me. Literally start just like choking the sh*t out of me.
