"If Kendrick Perkins could do it over, he wouldn't change a thing.
Despite winding up on the wrong end of what many have been deemed the 'Dunk of the Year," Perkins would challenge Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin again if he needed to.
And again and again and again.
"It happens. At the end of the day, if you're a shot blocker, you're going to get dunked on," Perkins said. "It was a great play that he made. Obviously, I wish I wasn't in it. But it was a great play that he made."
Of course, what's flown under the radar from the play that is still being talked about four days later is that Perkins made one, too. But that's been overlooked in the millions of YouTube hits, countless replays on "SportsCenter" and even talk on TNT's pregame show Thursday night.
All Perkins did was rotate from the weak side a split second too late. By the time Griffin corralled a bounce pass from Chris Paul out of the pick-and-roll, there wasn't a thing anyone could do to stop what was about to take place."
