Can someone explain to me why the Heat gave Joel Anthony a five-year deal?

Kendrick Perkins has spoken. He has made a prediction. The Celtics are gonna win. Perk didn’t exactly say what they were going to win, but I assume he meant a title and not anything else. (Dime)

Dime: So how does the team look for next season?
KP: We’re gonna come back ready. KG is coming back in the best shape he’s ever been in. We got Jermaine O’Neal. Paul is coming back as a premier player in the League. Ray is gonna be Ray all the time. Rondo is gonna keep it up, keep it going.

Dime: Any predictions?
KP: Nah, I don’t wanna do that.

Dime: OK.
KP: Actually, yeah, I will make a prediction. We’re gonna win.

Dime: The whole thing?
KP: We’re gonna win.

There are a lot of interesting parts of the interview, so I advise you to go read it. My favorite part, besides Perk’s half-assed prediction?

Dime: Tony Allen said there’s always a fight over the music in the weight room.
KP: All the time. It’s always a big misunderstanding. Tony would wanna play Gucci Mane, Nate always has a variety, and KG wants to play the same song 40 times in a row. But KG ends up ruling at the end, because he’s got the most years in the League.

Something tells me it’s not just because KG’s got the most years in the League that he gets to pick the music. I’d have to guess it has something to do with his insane personality. When you look into KG’s eyes and see nothing but psychotic hard work staring right back at you, you’re either going to let him play the same song 40 times in a row or you’re going to face KG’s wrath. And I promise, you don’t want to face KG’s wrath.

P.S. – I love that Perkins said KG is in the best shape of his life. Get ready to pay hell, NBA. I’m ending this post now so I can go do something about these goosebumps I’ve got all over my body.
