I'm beginning to think that Kendrick Perkins is a worse color commentator than Jalen Rose or Ramona. What is this guy smoking Lakers 70 wins???? He's old enough to play for the Lakers. Perhaps he needs to come out of retirement to play in purple and gold...

Kendrick is my least favorite ESPN NBA commentator. He makes inane comments on a regular basis.

Interesting read as Carmelo is talking the talk...the problem is the Lakers are so old they can't "walk the walk" without a wheel chair and seeing eye dog...

Carmelo Anthony solely focused on Finals run in L.A.​

The former scoring champion knows wins and a long playoff run will determine just how his time with the Lakers will be received.​

I can't imagine what the ESPN producers see in Perkins to make him keep talking. Probably in the 90s, he wouldn't last 1 day as a commentator.
