Kendrick Perkins Answers Your Questions

Thunder center Kendrick Perkins sat down with ESPN.com’s SportsNation today and answered fans’ questions on a variety of topics. You can read the full chat here. But here are some of the more interesting things Perkins discussed.

On how close the Thunder is to winning a title and what is needed that wasn’t there last year:

I think we’re really close to winning the championship. We just lacked a little experience this year. We’re very close. We just have to stay home and keep on with the hard work. The sky is the limit. We have a big scorer in Kevin Durant. We have an all-star in Russell. As long as guys keep working and staying together, we’ll be good.

On whether he’s looking to play overseas:

Yeah, I thought about it. I’m just trying to decide. I’m waiting to see how far they’ll go with the lockout. It’s all timing. It will come time to decide. I have thought about it.

On how his knees are feeling:

I’ve been working hard this summer. They feel great. I’m definitely going to try to get back to my early stages before getting hurt. I’ll be playing without my braces. I’m excited to get back out on the court.
