Boston alum Kendrick Perkins legacy is bigger than you think

Champion Boston Celtics big man Kendrick Perkins was lucky enough to carve out a career in the NBA that included winning a title with the Celtics in 2008. But the Texan center has since found success behind the microphone and in the booth in his second career around the sport, this time as a broadcaster and analyst.

In a recent podcast appearance, Perkins attributed his longevity in the NBA to finding a role and being comfortable with it, and spoke on his unexpected transition to the media world, acknowledging that he didn’t anticipate people connecting with his folksy personality as much as they have.

Perk also shared his frustration with former players who fail to give credit to the current generation of NBA stars, echoing words from former Boston teammate Kevin Garnett.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear the interview in full.
