Kendrick “Perk” Perkins is known for his blunt commentary on ESPN’s most popular shows. As a fourteen year NBA player, Perk earned a reputation as a fierce defender and great teammate. In this powerful memoir, he goes beyond basketball to discuss the reality of being Black in America.
Perk reveals his awakening consciousness of larger issues that affected him, his fellow players, and Black Americans. Honest, fearless, filled with stories about life on and off the court, The Education of Kendrick Perkins is a unique memoir that shows how he and we all can “carry the hell on.”
