About Kendrick Perkins
I went straight from Clifton J. Ozen High School in Beaumont, Texas to the NBA as a first-round pick in the 2003 Draft. Over the next decade and a half, I built my career on toughness, defense, and leadership anchoring the front-court for the Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New Orleans Pelicans. Winning the 2008 championship with the Celtics remains a career-defining moment, but what I\'m most proud of is the trust my teammates and coaches placed in me as a leader and tone-setter in the locker room. After hanging up my sneakers, I transitioned into sports media as an analyst for ESPN, where I bring the same energy and competitive fire I had on the court to the broadcast desk. My philosophy is simple: respect the game, keep it real, and never be afraid to have an opinion. Open to opportunities in brand partnerships, public speaking, and mentorship. Please reach out to me or Luke Cervino if you have business inquiries.
