Kendrick Perkins Beast Mode

[mjokc]

1 point, 1 rebound, 16 minutes.

Starting center, 9 million per year.

:biggums:

Edit: Sorry guys, GOATkins didn't have 0 rebounds, he had 1 rebound and it was glorious. You can watch it here.

GOAT gonna GOAT :bowdown:

[RRR3]

They won though, you couldn't see his contributions because they go beyond the box score.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

OKC with Perkins: 13-1
Without: 0-2

GTFO

I can't believe I LOL'd at this. :facepalm

Sickening

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Perkins brings leadership, defensive anchoring, and screen setting. He's arguably the most valuable player on that team.

[Young X]

His impact goes way beyond his stats. Just look at his win pct.

just playin', he sucks

Oh shit, mybad man. I didn't catch on to it earlier. Carry on. :applause:


:bowdown:

[mjokc]

My bad ya'll, I'm slow as hell. I get it now, LOL. And now that I think about it, he may have only had one rebound tonight, but it was Glorious.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Durant is an elite level scorer, but Perkins is an elite level defender and as we all know Defense wins championships. That's why Perkins has 2 rings (Gets credit for 2010) and Durant has none. That's why I think Perkins is the Thunder's MVP so far this season.

[Eric Cartman]

Ugly mother****er.

[Pacquiao]

Why are people so obsessed with stats?

Making the opponent miss, box out , intimidating people are something that doesn't add to the stats. Look at how opponents score when Perkins is not around..

[imnew09]

did you even watch his contribution in the 4th quarter? :facepalm

They won because of him. Period.

Perkins is +0.8 on-off last year. Ibaka = -0.2. Perkins > Ibaka. Deal with it.

The Thunder would just be a first round folder without GOATkins. They never reached WCF or the Finals without him. That hard screen setting and dat leadership does wonders. And he stops other team from scoring with his intimidating size.

[AintNoSunshine]

For real tho, Perkins in Beast Mode would be something like 5 points 5 rebounds and a block

[BlazerRed]

Perkins is +0.8 on-off last year. Ibaka = -0.2. Perkins > Ibaka. Deal with it.
Can't argue with this logic. It's official, Perkins > Ibaka.

Not to mention the his insane close-out ability. You see the way he was closing out tonight? Its like time speeds up for everyone except perkins. Unreal skill and talent displayed by perk tonight, I really don't see why so many hate on him. He is worth every cent

He held Chuck Hayes to 6 points. Who else has a reliable center that can play clutch post defense against the league's best post scorers like Hayes?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Yeah. And it's not just his 1-on-1 defense but his help defense that is so great. I can't remember if I've ever seen a rim protector quite as impactful as Perkins.

[mjokc]

Yeah. And it's not just his 1-on-1 defense but his help defense that is so great. I can't remember if I've ever seen a rim protector quite as impactful as Perkins.

OKC this year with Perk in has only lost one game. OKC with Russ in has lost two games. Clearly Perk is more valuable to OKC than Westbrook. Anyone who questions the impact that Perkins has on this team, look at that stat right there.

[Young X]

Real talk, he might be the most important player on that team. You can't fully capture his impact by looking at boxscores because he does so much for his team that can't be measured with stats.

He's a winner. What have KD and Westbrook won? Nothing.

[red1]

Great stuff guys. Good to see other people are paying attention to more than just boxscores

[RoundMoundOfReb]

OKC this year with Perk in has only lost one game. OKC with Russ in has lost two games. Clearly Perk is more valuable to OKC than Westbrook. Anyone who questions the impact that Perkins has on this team, look at that stat right there.
OKC is undefeated with both Perkins and Westbrook playing. Reminds me of a rich man's Kobe/Shaq duo. Then you got Durant as your Robert Horry? Pretty much guaranteed multiple titles.

[BlazerRed]

Where do you guys rank Perkins compared to the other centers in this league? I say he's number one based purely off his 100% win record while playing this year.

:applause:

this!

boxscore doesnt record those 20 illegal screen per game

[Fudge]

Telling you, we've been playing 4v5 for whatever minutes he plays a game for the past 2 or 3 seasons now. It's not fair.

[KobeClutchAsFK]

Dude is a complete scrub outside of his incredible illegal screens.

[TheCorporation]

They won though, you couldn't see his contributions because they go beyond the box score.

:lol :lol

How great is our god? Kendrick Goatkins

[DuMa]

he threw some pretty good backdoor passes

[Mr. Jabbar]

lmao even his former nick name " the dwight stopper" holds little to no value now :roll:

Perkins gives this team things that no box score could ever record. In case anyone missed it, here is Perk's one rebound from the game. He may only have had one rebound but it was glorious and shows why he is the heart and soul of this team.

Holy shit. Look at that outlet pass to Westbrook right afterwards. Are you ****ing kidding me? That's the type of plays that don't show up on the stat sheet for you stat nerds to read.

[Trollsmasher]

Yep, people should stop lookin at the boxscores when it comes to GOATkins.

1) Everybody knows that the less blocks you average, the better, as you put yourself out of the position for getting a rebound or a box out when you go up for a block. We see this with Ibaka, who jumps on every shot and opponent ends up either inbounding the ball, getting an easy basket from a dumpoff to a bigman or getting an offensive rebound.

Perkins makes people miss without putting himself out of the position on the next play. He does not need to jump, because he scares people and makes them miss. This is supported by his Synergy stats

2) Perkins boxes out. Anybody who ever played ball knows, that boxing out is the most important thing about getting a rebound. Perkins makes twig Durant grab 8 rebounds per game and stats support the fact, that Durant rebounds much better with Perkins on the floor. That is why his raw rebound numbers are low, but he is the best at boxing out.

3) Offense - Goatkins gets regularly double teamed and thus creates easy shots for Swagbrook and Durant, who both shoot better with him on the floor.

4) Intangibles - nothing to say here. Perk brings experience, leadership and winning mentality. He is the brain and heart of the team.

[TheCorporation]

Perk is a glue guy, the heart & soul of the team. His value does not translate to the box score, guys! You can't just look at box score, as Perkins does so much more. He definitely passes the eye test.

Exactly.

He was a core piece in the Lakers championship runs. It's something that never appears on the box score. Case in point, what happened when they lost Adam Morrison? They got swept by the Mavs.


And the White Mamba:

Chris Webber never made a clutcher shot like the White Mamba:

Not sure if yesterday's stats have been posted yet?

17 minutes, 0 points, 3 rebounds, 0 assists, 2 turnovers

Adams only played 13 minutes but had 5 points, 5 rebounds and 1 great assist.

Most important rebounds of the game to keep the thunder in the game. You also didn't take into account of dem hard screens.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Got stats for box outs, screen setting and altered shots?

[BlazerRed]

If he'd have chipped in with a couple baskets then maybe they wouldn't need a rebound to keep them in the game :confusedshrug:

[MiseryCityTexas]

And people thought Benoit Benjamin was bad. Benoit put up better numbers than that in the early 90s.

[mjokc]

0 points, 1 rebound at the half.

[LONGTIME]

Perk living up to his contract tonight. :facepalm

[coin24]

But how many scowl faces?

[BlazerRed]

Thunder are in the lead at the half and Perkins is -11 :roll:

[mjokc]

Perk finished with 2 points, 1 rebound in 15 minutes.

[BlazerRed]

Don't forget he didn't turn the ball over once!! :bowdown:

[TheCorporation]

You guys just can't look at the box score, okay! He set multiple screens, boxed out guys so Durant could get rebounds, scowled a bunch, and was the enforcer of the game. His skillset does not translate onto the box score, but he is surely worth every penny of his 8.7 million!

In fact, by doing the math here, we are 1/5 of the way done with the season, so 8.7 million divided by 5 = 1.74 million

Perkins has scored 47 points this year, so that means OKC is paying Perkins nearly 40,000 ($37,021) per point. Kendrick GOAT Perkins :bowdown:

If OKC were to pay Durant $37,021 per point, his annual salary would be:

*drum roll*

$94,958,865

:bowdown: :applause:

[And1AllDay]

Perk is getting paid! Durant needs to ask for a raise lol

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Haters check his win %

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Before Perkins: 1st round exit
After: WCF, NBAF, 2nd Round

I wonder if anyone makes more $ per point scored than Perkins. :roll:
