After retiring from the NBA, players can still pursue a career related to the game they love. Kendrick Perkins, Channing Frye, and Richard Jefferson made the decision to try their luck as NBA analysts.
They are doing pretty well and the fans love their takes before, during, and after each season. Recently, the three appeared on the “Road Trippin” podcast, where they talked about a plethora of things.
Among that, the three got into a funny argument about whose ring was worth more. While Perkins won the championship with the Boston Celtics back in 2008, Frye and Jefferson were part of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 2016 championship-winning roster.
Channing Frye: “Your [Kendrick Perkins] chip is a lot older than ours. Ours is still fresh. Crusty ass ring. Your ring is a Prius.”
Richard Jefferson: “Ours still smells like champagne, yours smells like rust.”
Kendrick Perkins replied, “It’s perfectly fine. I can go sell mine for more than both of y’all can sell yours.”
Well, Perkins is known for snarky replies and he proved in the podcast the reason for that. He utterly roasted the Frye-Jefferson duo.
While each NBA championship has its own value, the two in the discussion here are arguably two of the best.
The 2008 Boston Celtics overcame a devastating previous season and revived themselves under the leadership of coach Doc Rivers. Furthermore, the Celtics defeated their longtime rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals.
On the other hand, we have the LeBron James-led 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs were on fire the entire season and James finally delivered the first-ever NBA championship to the city of Cleveland. How can we forget about their comeback after going down 3-1 against the Golden State Warriors? They were the most successful regular season team in NBA history.
Everything considered, each championship had its value, but the 2016 NBA championship has the edge here. After all, it is regarded as the best NBA finals ever!
What is your take on Perkins’ comments? Do you agree with him? Feel free to share your opinions about the most valuable NBA championship win in the league’s history/
