Russell Westbrook is the greatest Thunder player ever, even if KD was the best

Russell Westbrook was the greatest Thunder ever. I didn't say he was the best player to ever play for the Thunder... the greatest is like a person who held it down... put up some great numbers. When you hear the name Thunder, you think of this person. Katie [Durant] left the door open.

Common debate in sports; Westbrook stayed while Durant left, leading many OKC fans to agree.

Paying a running back is never worth it

Tell me when paying running back is worth it. It's never worth it. It sounds like a good idea at the time. And if you're a new head coach, this is such a new head coach move... it's like ordering shots of Jagermeister. Well, sounds good. And then later on it's like having sex raw dog. It's good in the moment. Nine months later you're like, 'fuck, I definitely should have done that.'

Historically, teams that pay running backs huge contracts rarely win Super Bowls during those contracts (e.g., Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley).

Aaron Rodgers is the fourth greatest quarterback of all time

My number four [is] Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback that I've ever seen in terms of like the throws he can make, everything that they can do. In his prime, like those four, five, six years, the Packers were never out of a game.

Subjective ranking of greatness.

Dan Marino was Patrick Mahomes before Patrick Mahomes

Dan Marino had five years where he led the league in passing... he was like Patrick Mahomes before Patrick Mahomes. When you talking about his second year in the league when he had 48 touchdowns in 1984... which is fucking ridiculous.

Statistically, Marino's 1984 season was as much of an outlier as Mahomes' 2018 season.

Anthony Edwards is the best young leader in the NBA

When it comes to the young up and coming superstars, I've never seen a leader like [Anthony Edwards]. And he's the best young leader in the game of basketball.

Subjective assessment of leadership quality among players under 25.

The Timberwolves have the Denver Nuggets 'crying like babies'

I said the T-Wolves got them crying like babies. The Denver Nuggets are doing all that damn crying. What the babies gonna do if you gonna do all that damn crying? They had Michael Malone whining to the referees. They had Jamal Murray crying to the referees. They had them uncomfortable.

While subjective, Jamal Murray's heating pad incident in Game 2 became a literal illustration of the frustration Perk described.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should have won the 2023-24 NBA MVP over Nikola Jokic

I voted for SGA. I voted for Shai because Shai last year Oklahoma didn't even make the playoffs. This year they're the number one seed in the Western conference. He's first in the league in steals, shooting 54% from the field as a shooting guard... He has the best record in the tough Western Conference.

Nikola Jokic officially won the MVP award, making Perk's vote for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander a minority (though justified) position.
