(Oklahoma Thunder center Kendrick) Perkins doesn't like other NBA players.

I'm looking for activity. I put players in and take them out based on effort and defense, not making or missing shots

If you're a great defensive player, you're a great defensive player 100% of the time. You can't be a great defensive player half of the time because you didn't get the ball once or twice. That can't sidetrack you. It's got to be 'I live for my defense, and my offense I'll get. But I can't let it affect my defense. Nothing affects my defense.'

Do you want to choose winning over standing out? It's a choice every player on every championship team has to do

I just think a guy that knows how to play when you put him on a good team, he can be really good.

If you're not talking, you're not playing defense

Sometimes you will hate me because I will tell you the truth about your game. And the truth can hurt/humble you
