I completely agree.  Perk should know better.  He was suck a few days ago becuase of doctor's orders for dehydration (yea, ok) so had to cancel the basketball event for the kids.  Then go to the club and do something stupid.  You have to use your head better.  If you ask me, he should take less trips to beaumont to stay away from bad influences.  You are a roll model to a lot of these young beaumont basketball players (a lot of them talk about Perkins and want to be just like him knowing that he walked the same halls that they walk now).  I just hope that positive image is not tarnished. Now, before you give me a hard time and say 'he's human, he's not perfect, yada yada', think about what I've said.  You have to make better decisions not only for yourself, but who looks up to you.  You don't play the game to be a roll model, but you have been branded as such.  He knows this.  He really dissapointed me.

Bad situation? Yes.  End of the world?  No.  I would hate for someone to be able to see what I have done all the time of my life.  I bet most people would feel the same.  If he wasnt a professional player, it wouldnt be news.  He needs to hold himself to a higher standard, but also be given a break when he slips.  He can make it up to the kids and fix the problem.  Hopefully he will be given the chance all of us would want.

Well said Bmtsouja. Kids do look up to these guys and they need to make better decisions. If he wasn't a Pro no one would know about this, but the fact is he is a Pro and knows everyone will know about it. And if you don't think that is fair don't take the millions to play in the NBA and no one will care. Did you see the 12 year old Little Leaguer hit a home run flip his bat and showboat at home before  he rounded the bases on ESPN. Where do you think he got at stuff.Like Michael Wilbon always says when these guys mess up, "You are rich, if you want to party and get stupid do it in the privacy of your own home." because in society today everyone has a camera,waiting for you to mess up.

[b]K.P. and his associates put on a fantastic community event and the kids enjoyed the camp and banquet[/b]. Monies went to a worthy cause. He obviously made some bad decisions last night. Lets hope he has learned from these life events, like we all have at one time. ;)

except for the whole cancelling of the main event due to sickness, but then being well enough to go out and live it up later on that night.  i know that nobody is perfect, but his timing was unfortunate, to say the least.  cancel the event because you're "sick", but then get well in just a few hours and go out and get arrested after clubbing?  if this had happened under any other circumstances, i honestly wouldn't think much of it, but to happen the way it did, i lost a lot of respect for him.

If he had gone out in Ok and gotten a PI, that's to be forgiven. But when it is a hometown event that he put together for the kids and he is a no-show, gets drunk and disorderly, bordering on resisting arrest enough to be pepper sprayed, he will have to re-earn my respect.

Obviously this event is to show the kids how approachable the stars can be, or is this an NBA requirement?

pretty much dispicable...it's bad enough that he got drunk and had an altercation serious enough to result in his arrest, but to do so after missing a majority of the major events taking place in the camp is inexcusable...he was counted on to be a significant part of this event and he know shows most of it but miraculously recovers in time to tie one on??? sad!

    • I personally hope PN-G gets 2nd gets to the 2nd round wins the flip against SOC and drag them them to Houston to play 
    • I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
