Kendrick Perkins sits on Mike Miller during Game 3 win over Thunder

Oklahoma City Thunder big man Kendrick Perkins has been through his share of playoff battles. But the move the 11-year NBA veteran pulled against Memphis Grizzlies veteran forward Mike Miller in Game 3 of their first-round series was a new one: Perkins used Miller as a chair.

The moment occurred late in the second quarter of a game the Grizzlies eventually won 98-95 in overtime to take a 2-1 series lead. It even caught a pair of the team's beat reporters off-guard.

Perhaps a conversation Perkins had with one of the officials before the game, along with Zach Randolph, had an influence on the non-call. Either way, anything that inspired this meme is OK in our book.
