Perkins and Collison were teammates during their time with the Oklahoma City Thunder from 2011 to 2015. Collison spent his entire 14-year career with the Thunder franchise and recently represented them in the 2022 NBA draft lottery, where the team jumped to second in the draft order.
Collison has been praised by several former teammates for being a great guy, so it’s not surprising to see Perkins pick Collison as his favorite teammate during his long NBA career.
