In fact, the stuff that makes old dudes at the Y, Perry is terrible at. He merely LOOKS like the old dude at the Y.
He should have gotten some blocks against some of the smaller guys he went against. Hell he probably should have picked up 3 blocks against his nemesis Evan Wessell. But he's really poor defensively. There was a stretch in the conference where he stepped up and played tough for several games before he got hurt that frankly won us the league title. But while he played with an acceptable amount of toughness, he still lacks any anticipation or aggressiveness to go get some shots.

The Y reference is relative to your own experiences. I can see the context he used it as, as I used to play with an old dude growing up that all he did was score against crappy competition. Put against anyone with ability, was probably the most worthless person in the gym. No need to split hairs.
