Perry Ellis is only 22, but he’s been playing college basketball for what feels like 37 years and looks decidedly not 22. For that reason, the Internet has been fond of making jokes about how old the Kansas forward is. On Saturday, Ellis got in on the action.

Perry Ellis is so old he probably collects state quarters. Probably drinks prune juice before bed. Probably enjoys a good crossword puzzle.
