Webber's 10 times the player Perkins is, regardless of what his opinion was... The ring comment is stupid, you only pull that comment when you are the same caliber player as the other guy. A big man under should never talk about a big man above
Perkins will never be the play Webber was, not sure why he's calling him out just cause he was the 5th wheel to a championship team.
Lol you would lick your fingers if you would have the former ROY on your team....I mean on the Rockets....
I don't know why people are big upping Webber. He had skills but he was a massive choke artists, in college AND the pro's Perkins played a key role in winning a ring for the Celtics just as much as Webber played a key role in choking off a championship for the Kings.
Yes, he choked big time in college, but he was definitely not a "choke artist" in the NBA. The Sacramento Kings were simply outplayed by a once-in-a-generation squad, but the two teams were pretty evenly matched. The Kings were, without a doubt, a championship "caliber" team that was better than the 2008 Celtics. And to equate Perkins' role for the Celtics and Webber's role with the Kings is laughable.
webber was a multiple time nba all-star and made multiple all-nba teams. he had a 27/11 season. say what you want about his failures but the he was a MUCH better player than kendrick perkins. a role player using the ring argument against a former star player is idiotic. it's like james posey criticizing karl malone for not getting a ring.
Karl Malone and Barkley in their primes .....the best moving PFs the league has seen in modern days Chris Webber is there ......at the 3rd spot
Perkins a one-on-one defender. I guess whats up for debate is whther OKC needs another shot-blocker to pair up with Ibaka more than they need a one-on-one defender. There arent too many great post players to defend nowadays. That being said, Perkins comments are downright sad. He was just another piece/role player in that team. It is not like he led his team to the championship. Its a weak argument and a pity comment to make. But it fits him for the kind of guy he is.

I guess you didn't see game 7 of that WC series. Webber puckered up so bad he could barely get up and down the court Had he not choked but manned up in that game, he would have a ring right now
