Kendrick Perkins Lists Off The NBA Players Who He Thinks Could Play In The NFL Right Now

On today's Pardon My Take... KENDRICK PERKINS! The former NBA player and current basketball analyst for ESPN joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter on today's show to talk NBA Playoffs, why he said LeBron should retire, playoff memories, and his top 3 dawgs in the NBA.

If you have been online this week, you have probably seen the discourse going on between NFL and NBA players. Could they play and succeed in each other's league if they suited up right now? The opinions are, unsurprisingly, all over the place.

But as a former NBA champion, how many guys does Perkins think could put on the pads and look like they belong on the gridiron? Our crew asked him, and we got six names right off the bat. Take a look...

According to Kendrick Perkins, those guys have the mentality and athleticism to fit right in with the National Football League. I'm sure some people will agree with this list. I am CERTAIN that many folks will tear it apart. But hey, that's sports talk for you. 

Debates, debates, debates. These are the ones that get the people going.
