This is Kendrick Perkins in an

Oklahoma City Thunder uniform.

Go on, take a peek. I know it's painful, but you've got to look sometime, and there's no better time than the present. Just let the image sink in -- rip the Band-Aid off now, you'll be relieved later.

 

The first thing you'll notice is that Perk really doesn't look happy.

 

He's wearing the orange and blue uniform, he's clutching a basketball that looks smaller than a chickpea, and he's got the glummest facial expression you'll ever encounter. I've seen happier faces in the operating room at the dentist's office. Perk's trademark scowl has been replaced by a depressing frown.

yeah, I couldn't possibly disagree more with this damn author.

 

If you're young and talented and powerful, you've got the whole basketball world in your hands.

no shit, Sherlock. that's the way it is in life in general, and especially sports. the young stars get all the money, girls, and attention. wtf else is new?

 

But if you're Perk, you're helpless.

you mean aside from the whole getting paid tens of millions of dollars and being able to play basketball for a living, right?

 

But because he said no, he planted that seed of doubt in the Celtics' minds, tempting them to trade him and get something back.

yeah, that's called a smart business decision.

 

But ultimately, he didn't have a choice.

he didn't have a choice? really? the C's went to him with an extension offer. how is that not having a choice? not having a choice would be trading him away without offering him an extension. they may not have offered him the world, but don't say he didn't have a choice.

 

this article was short, uninformative, and I noticed the author started three different sentences with the word 'but.' of course, the comments were praising the article, figures.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but some of these were funny.
