ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins joined Chris & Co. Friday to talk about the success of the Sacramento Kings, the landscape of the Western Conference, and more.
Topics discussed include:
- When did he start to believe in the Sacramento Kings as a legitimate playoff team?
- What he enjoys the most about watching center Domantas Sabonis
- How there are only four legitimate contenders from the Western Conference
- “We’re going to see a whole lot of seven-game series, I strongly believe that. There will not be any sweeps in the Western Conference.”
- Transitioning from a role-player mindset in the regular season to a key contributor in the postseason.
- Can players help change the culture as much as the coaching staff or front office?
- A lot of credit needs to be given to Harrison Barnes and what he’s brought to this Kings’ team
- Visiting Madison Square Garden and Golden 1 Center during the NBA playoffs.
