Thunders' Perkins issues apology to team

After practice Friday, Oklahoma City Thunder C Kendrick Perkins shared his thoughts on the Thunder and what type of person he is despite being charged of misdemeanor assault after a minor car accident outside of a night club in Houston in July.  

“I hate for it to be going on right now just on the simple fact that I’m sorry for the organization and my teammates to have to deal with it, along with myself just to hear the news,” Perkins said. “But I can’t really comment on it at this moment. I would love to but I can’t. So I’m just coming in, going to work and just trying to stay focused.”

“I know what type of person I am,” Perkins said. “And I know the organization knows what type of person I am. So if you’re around me on a day-to-day basis you will know what type of person, human being I am. So at the end of the day I don’t feel like I have to prove anything to anybody (in the) outside world about what type of guy I am as far as my character. I know what type of guy I am. I know what type of guy I stand for. I’m a married guy with two children…If you know me you know what kind of guy I am.”
