I’m the same Perk you’re going to see. I’m still going to sign autographs the same way. I ain’t going to change. The people that move out the way and stuff are the people who have insecurity problems. That’s my job. How will my teammates look at me if next time I just back out the way and just let him dunk when I’m supposed to be defensive-minded, a shot-blocker? That would be a coward move on me. He’d just have to dunk on me again.”

Later on in the article, Perkins takes a shot about LeBron James’ nice guy attitude. It’s a great read.

This was one of many moments in the fourth quarter last night where Kevin Durant took it to the next level. He’s officially that dude.
