Many NBA players were tuned into Thursday night’s NBA Draft, tweeting their reactions and thoughts. Others, like Kendrick Perkins, decided to take a walk down memory lane.
On ESPN, Perkins recalled his own memories from the draft in 2003, where he was taken by the Memphis Grizzlies and then traded to the Celtics. He watched the ceremony from inside a bank, flew to Boston for a workout where he “killed” Brian Cook, and eventually drove 36 hours from Belmont Texas to the city. Still, be called the move a “lifestyle change.” Boston was cold, and the food…not so good.
