Mark Jackson deserves more credit than Steve Kerr for the Warriors dynasty

Mark Jackson built that coach over there. Mark Jackson is on record calling the Splash Brothers the Splash Brothers. He's on record talking noise saying 'I got the best two shooters in the world.' Steve Kerr just happened to see the stroke go right.

While Jackson laid groundwork, Kerr's offensive overhaul is widely credited by the players and analysts for unlocking their championship ceiling.

A star-studded WrestleMania would be the most electric event to kick off the return of sports

If there was going to be one event that's like kicking off sports being back, a star-studded WrestleMania where it's like this is the event tonight. You have all the celebrity cameos, you're gonna have all the athletes, all the crowd, and then it's like starting after tonight sports are back on. It would be the most electric event of all time.

This is a subjective hypothetical about what would be most 'electric'.

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 since 1980

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. Now granted the last couple years not as great, but in his prime... the Packers were never out of a game.

Subjective quarterback ranking.

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.
