Marcus Spears Jr. has been tearing it up at the high school level as he prepares for life in college next year, and it appears he might have some support from one of the pros that is very well known even beyond the basketball world. Kendrick Perkins dropped a comment on one of the latest clips going around on social media, which clearly shows Spears Jr. dominating at the high school level.
“Grown A** Man,” Perkins wrote, tagging Marcus Spears Jr. in the process, displaying a light-hearted jab at how physical the teenager is looking even at the young age. The original post that Perkins was responding to showed Spears Jr. as the top high school player making easy work of his opponents.
Perkins’ comment about Marcus Spears Jr. comes because of a personal relationship built with the family. It is a well known fact that Perkins is very close to Marcus Spears Jr’s father, Marcus Spears, with the duo even co-hosting an ESPN sports podcast together by the name of “Swagu & Perk”.
Long-time friends from South Texas, Perkins and Spears both excelled at their respective sports over the years, with the former becoming an NBA Champion while the latter was considered a great defensive lineman in the NFL in his own right.
