2008 NBA champion Kendrick Perkins is set to receive another accolade for his success on the parquet.
The NBA center-turned-sports analyst will enter the Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2024.
Perkins announced the news in a post on Twitter Tuesday night.
“Cried myself to sleep many of nights as a child because the struggle was real,” he shared. “But it made me into the man I am today.”
Perkins, a graduate of Clifton J. Ozen High School in Beaumont, Texas, is considered the school’s best basketball player ever.
