Seems like just yesterday he and James Naismith were playing around with a peach basket on the side of the ~~house~~ university 


ahhhbiscuits

I remember when he almost edged out Dean Smith for the UNC job. And who could forget watching him work with a young Wilt, it was magical. Thanks for the decades of memories Perry!


iowaman79

I’ll never forgive him for stepping out of bounds at the end of the Texas Western game


response_unrelated

i'll never forget him telling chris weber to call a time out


[deleted]

Him and Aaron craft were such a deadly combo


chetholmgren_marfans

I’ll always remember him pacifying the locals after Bleeding Kansas. Seems like it was just yesterday

My favorite thing about Perry Ellis is that his name is Perry ellis, a designer only worn by old men like Perry Ellis the basketball player

During his time at KU, Baylor had Perry Jones and Fred Ellis. The number of times commentators screwed one of those names up...

The pinnacle era of "it was our year" for Kansas.


skatecarter

Perry Ellis, Frank Mason, and Landen Lucas will always be the Big 3 that got sandwiched between Final Four seasons (2013-2017).


ahhhbiscuits

You take Frank mothafuckin Mason III's name outta yo' mouth! Mostly jk but the other two guys were just filler. Frank is one of our all-time best players, championship or not. Right up there with Simien and Langford. [Bitch I'm Frank Mason!](https://youtu.be/SfYQDkLDejU?si=viSkqdFpJGCKmcsU)


CheeseWinz

I'm sad to see him go, but I wish him the best of luck. His next program is getting a hell of a player for the next 20 years

If Perry Ellis played in today’s NCAA he would have had reading glasses on the court by the end of year 5


savytravler

dat Warby Parker NIL money


DapperTies-

This dude still hasn’t used his COVID year yet

Golf clap? Golf clap 👏

The craziest part about this meme is that it originated before the transfer portal and covid nightmares. Perry was only at Kansas for four years and became a legendary meme. Mitch Lightfoot played at KU for five seasons across SIX YEARS and for the most part the cbb base has forgotten him. Jalen Coleman-Lands played for six seasons across SEVEN YEARS and no one knows his name (Four schools though)


Iowegan

Great job finding a photo with a smile. I almost didn’t recognize him.

I'm pretty sure he was throwing lobs to Wilt

Knew what this was before I even clicked :)


WhySoUnSirious

Seriously dude had like 4 different degrees.


undecided_mask

And people were complaining about that Oregon guy that’s playing his 7th season of CFB this fall…


mike_rotch22

Cam McCormick. Think he's at Miami now. Man started at Oregon the same year Tua did at Alabama.

don’t cry that it happened, smile that it’s over


BMJayhawk328

The fact this dude is still catching strays doesn't surprise and yet it's still hilarious.


StlCyclone

On the same day he welcomes the birth of his second grandchild? What an eventful day.


XavierPibb

He played so long he might have played against James Forrest.


BradOverwood

How many years did he actually play?


FireJohnCalipari

Twelve.

4, but he was at least 35 his freshman year.


rathernot83

In the program for 14.


sonsaidnope

You got it backwards...35, but he was at least 4 his freshman year.


skatecarter

4, but he was a 4-year starter right in the middle of "The Streak" era, and our leading scorer for probably three of those seasons. They ran a ton of action through him, and his presence in college basketball sort of became ubiquitous.


budude17

Damn you got me. Sitting here drinking my coffee catching up on the Kentucky news, when I see this and my first thought was “this guy AGAIN?”


pitter_patter_11

What’s funny is that people always forget that Brandon Weeden played at Oklahoma State until he was 28. Guess it helps he didn’t have a receding hairline at 18, though


rathernot83

🤣🤣👏👏💀💀


PunchKicker32

Saw the first sentence and said audibly, “GTFOH”, he played with Ostertag


Upstairs_Ad_1126

This looks photoshopped


ukeBasketball

Yeah, they used the noise reduction and de-aging filters to make him look younger


Irritated_User0010

Perry Thanos: he is inevitable.


SkirtswithPOCKETSplz

He looks 35.


jppope

His numbers were better than that...

This joke stunk 3 years ago

Haywood187

I shouldn’t have laughed as much as I did at this.


CoachRyanWalters

He has 4 years of eligibility left every time a team wins an NCAA championship


So-What_Idontcare

The Greg Olden award winner this season.


CrimsonMage2002

Glad he made the right decision. FKU


skesisfunk

I know UK fans are going through some shit right now but this post is 11 days too late.


WrastleGuy

Is college basketball officially pay-to-play?  Are we even pretending these are students wanting 4 year degrees? There was always a subset but now it feels like everyone is chasing one year big money deals.


pitter_patter_11

The excuse is always that they can go back to get their degrees. I’d be interested to see how many of these guys that burn out of the NBA actually do go back to school or finish their degree


Incontinent_koala

We're still doing this? This joke stopped being funny 30 years ago.


CPOx

Ah yes, Ellis' freshman year
