So I was cruising around the Internet and I stumbled upon this column by Marc Spears. The main point in the column is basically Kendrick Perkins defending Russell Westbrook, specifically against the barbs that he isn’t a true point guard. This quote caught my eye:
“The thing that bothers me … is Derrick Rose is not a true point guard, he is a scoring point guard, but nobody gets on Derrick Rose like they get on Russ.”

Okay so I am probably the last sports blogger in the world to post this dunk. Whatever, give a guy a break, life is busy. Anyways, I think it is a great dunk but I still think Vince Carter had many better dunks and let’s not even compare him to Shawn Kemp.
Regardless, Kendrick Perkins is becoming the new “it” guy to show up in under the net looking scared.
