LAWRENCE
Jamari Traylor is asked for his favorite Perry Ellis story, and the Kansas forward smiles before flashing back in time.
It was a game last year — the Jayhawks’ 75-62 road victory over Texas — when the stoic Ellis did something, well, un-Perry-like.
“We’re always getting on him,” Traylor said. “Perry will do a great move, and he’ll just run back on defense like nothing.”
This time was different, though. After Ellis executed what Traylor called a “crazy” play for a basket, the Wichita native was ready to celebrate.
Unprompted, Ellis looked to the bench, smiled, and then winked at his teammates.
