Timeline

1984

Kendrick Le'Dale Perkins (born November 10, 1984) is a former American professional basketball player who is a sports analyst for ESPN.

2003

Perkins graduated from Clifton J. Ozen High School in Beaumont, Texas, in 2003.

He led Ozen High to four consecutive district championships and one state championship during his high school career.

Averaging 27.5 points, 16.4 rebounds and 7.8 blocked shots a game as a senior, he led Ozen to a 33–1 record, with the only loss being a 66–54 setback to Fort Worth Dunbar in the state 4A championship game.

After his senior season in 2003, Perkins was selected to the McDonald's All-American Game.

Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Perkins was listed as the No. 3 center and the No. 6 player in the nation in 2003.

He had originally committed to Memphis, but opted instead to make the jump to the NBA straight out of high school.

The 6ft 10in center was drafted in the first round with the 27th pick of the 2003 NBA draft by the Memphis Grizzlies, but was immediately traded along with Marcus Banks to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Troy Bell and Dahntay Jones, who had been selected by the Celtics in the same draft.

2004

During the 2004–05 season, Perkins received more playing time than he did his rookie season, and became known as one of the tougher players on the Celtics.

He had a limited role during the regular season and playoffs as the team's "enforcer".

2005

Perkins was involved in an unusual scenario in the final seconds of regulation in Game 6 of the 2005 Eastern Conference first round against Indiana.

Paul Pierce was ejected but Pierce was owed free throws because he had been fouled before the ejection.

Under NBA rules, Indiana coach Rick Carlisle chose to select Perkins (who had not played in the game) off the bench to shoot the crucial free throws (the game was tied).

Perkins missed both, indirectly leading the game going into overtime, in which the Celtics eventually won.

After marked improvements during summer training and practice, Perkins earned more playing time from coach Doc Rivers during the 2005–06 season.

2006

He played some of the best games of his career in 2006, repeatedly reaching double figures in points and rebounds.

After the trade of Mark Blount to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Perkins became the undisputed starting center for the Celtics, although he was already sharing starting time before Blount's departure.

2008

He entered the NBA directly out of high school and played for the Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New Orleans Pelicans, winning the NBA Championship in 2008 with the Celtics.

Perkins was born in Nederland, Texas and raised by his grandparents, who lived on a farm.

His mother was shot and killed by her best friend when Kendrick turned five.

His father played professional basketball in New Zealand — where he stayed throughout — and never visited Perkins.

Perkins went to a private Catholic school starting in sixth grade.

Perkins' grandfather was very enthusiastic about sports, helping spark his competitive passion.

In addition to basketball, Perkins also participated in pick-up football games as a defensive end, and baseball as a first baseman.

Perkins stopped playing baseball in ninth grade, and gave up on football in tenth grade.

Perkins first met LeBron James in the seventh grade when playing for Houston Hoops and competing against LeBron's Ohio Shooting Stars.

Perkins later became friends with LeBron during his time at ABCD Camp where they were teammates on the Oakland Soldiers.

During his time on the AAU circuit beginning in eighth grade, Perkins was ranked No. 3, LeBron at No. 1, and Chris Paul at No. 2. Perkins had his largest growth spurt from eighth grade to ninth grade, where he went from 6ft 5in to 6ft 10in, his current height.

Perkins' first in-game dunk was in the seventh grade.

He started at center for the 2008 NBA champion Boston Celtics.

2010

In Game 6 of the 2010 NBA Finals, Perkins injured his knee and missed the rest of the game.

He was inactive for Game 7, in which the Celtics fell to the Los Angeles Lakers.

According to the Los Angeles Times, he suffered torn MCL and PCL ligaments in his right knee.

2011

Perkins did not return to the floor until January 25, 2011, when he logged 17 minutes off of the bench netting seven points, six rebounds and three assists in a win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

He received a standing ovation upon entering the game in the first quarter.

After coming off the bench for his first 5 games back, Perkins returned to the starting line-up Friday, February 4 in a home loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

He logged his first double-double of the season with 13 points, 12 rebounds and one blocked shot while shooting 6-for-7 from the field in 33 minutes.

On February 24, 2011, Perkins and Nate Robinson were traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstić.

On March 1, he signed a multi-year extension with the Thunder.

Perkins suffered a left knee sprain injury, which prevented him from debuting with the Thunder until March 14, 2011.
