The education of Kendrick Perkins

Former NBA Champion and current ESPN commentator Kendrick Perkins reflects on his childhood in Texas, his long NBA career and growth as a man and player. As he chronicles his journey he intersperses his story with reflections: as a Black man, teammate, husband and father. With thoughtful and candid insights into his views concerning African-American history, the civil rights movement and Black Lives Matter movement, Perkins's voice is familiar from his bombastic on-air persona. There is also a surprisingly restrained and contemplative person who guides us through his engrossing and entertaining journey to the present.
