Amid nationwide quarantines, Kendrick Perkins became the latest to share his All-Time NBA list. With a Tweet on Wednesday, he revealed his top five:
My Top 5 All-Time List!!!
Michael Jordan
LeBron James
Kobe Bryant
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Larry Bird

MJ, Bron, Kobe, Kareem, and Bird are all solid picks, but it’s not a list we typically see. He, interestingly, left off popular players like Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaq for Kobe and Bird — who are usually listed 6-10.
But Perk didn’t stop there. Two days after this initial post, he shared another list with the community, this time of the Top 5 most athletic point guards.
My Top 5 most Athletic PGs
1. Russ
2. Baron Davis
3. DRose
4. John Wall
5. Robert Pack

In an age where shooting has become the focus, athletic point guards often get taken for granted. Guys like Russ and Wall don’t get noticed the same way Rose, Davis, and Pack did back in the day.
But they can still be very effective, and the names on Perk’s list made a great impact for their team.
What do you think about Perk’s Top 5s? Are there any guys you’d switch? This COVID-19 thing ha shot us all with some extra time on our hands, so, why not make some lists of your own?
