Kendrick Perkins
It’s not often that Oklahoma City Thunder center Kendrick Perkins sings the praise of anyone who isn’t his teammate, so it’s worth noting when he does acknowledge someone on a different team. That player on Thursday night was Kenyon Martin, who started for the injured Carmelo Anthony and had his best game of the season since becoming a member of the New York Knicks, with 12 points on six-of-10 shooting and four rebounds.

He would not rule Anthony out for Saturday’s home game against the Utah Jazz, but with the Knicks, we’ve seen and heard this before.
