I have a confession to make:  I eat stuff like this up.  I love teamwork, and I love selfless play.  (Boston Herald)

“There was a play before they came out where we should have thrown it to Perk, and Perk said, ‘No, I told Paul to just keep being aggressive; we’ve got to get him back aggressive,’ ” said Rivers. “It’s great when everyone recognizes that. He’s not there yet, but he’s getting there.”

To be able to understand that his team needed Paul Pierce to get in a rhythm far more than it needed a meaningless bucket out of himself is just one reason Perk has advanced so quickly from the bumbling rookie without a clue to a near-All Star.
