Perk Still a Leader

Darnell Mayberry had this little tidbit in his report today:

When asked about the leadership of Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, Nick Collison and Kendrick Perkins, Aldrich said they expect a lot out of their teammates and make sure the intensity and level of work is always high. “Those are the guys we really listen to and we respect,” Aldrich said.

Perk has always been a leader by example. From his first day as a Celtic, he was one of the hardest workers on the team. The reason his teammates listen to him is because he backs up his words with his work ethic. Every team needs players like that.
