Kendrick Perkins’ High Praise For Steph Curry Performance

by

Kendrick Perkins had the same reaction as every fan that watched the Warriors and Kings on Sunday. The pivotal Game 7 matchup saw Steph Curry and the Warriors once again make playoff magic. The Warriors took down the Kings 120-100, giving the team another day as reigning league champions. But the performance isn’t just being filed in great playoff performances. Because Perkins had plenty to say about Curry and the Warriors dynasty moving to the second round.

“That was one of, if not the greatest, Game 7 performances I’ve ever seen… When I look at Steph Curry and the performance that he had today, I’m like, ‘Did he just crack the top 10?’ And the answer is yes. That was a masterpiece.” Perkins believes Curry’s performance on Sunday was one of the greatest of all time. As well as cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Many were ready to write off the Warriors when the series with Sacramento became official. However, the team had other plans.

Kendrick Perkins Believes Curry Is Cementing His Legacy

It would be hard to argue Perkins’ case of Curry being one of the best to ever play. Not only is he a multi-time champion, all-star, and historic 3-point shooter. The Warriors star revolutionized the game of basketball. The game has drastically changed to teams becoming more viable threats from deep. That reasoning is because Curry and the Warriors changed the way coaching staffs create a game plan. The Warriors ushered in a new era of 3-point shooting, thanks to Curry.

However, the future NBA Hall-of-Famer will not have long to celebrate this accomplishment. As the Warriors will now have their hands full with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 2023 Western Conference Finals will include the Warriors or LeBron James. A statement that many didn’t believe would be possible at one point this season. Kendrick Perkins and the rest of the NBA world are ready to watch these great athletes compete for the largest prize. Who will punch their ticket to the conference finals?

50 Cent voiced his disappointment in the Sacramento Kings on Instagram, Sunday, after the team fell 120-100 to the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of their first-round series. During the game, Steph Curry dropped 50 points to set an NBA record for the most scored in Game 7 of a playoff series.

“This is me after saying Sacramento Kings could beat Golden State,” 50 captioned a photo of himself in a hospital bed. “@stephencurry30 went off the man dropped 50.” One fan in the comments advised 50, “Never bet against Steph.” Another wrote, “That boy Steph is different.”

Curry finished shooting 20-of-38, including 7-18 from three-point range. He also added 8 rebounds and 6 assists. With the victory, the Warriors advance to the second round to take on the Los Angeles Lakers. “We’re defying the odds by still playing at this high of a level,” Curry said. “I know everybody wants to see you fail. That’s kind of the nature of where we’re at right now. We love when we still prove a lot of people wrong. It’s part of our vibe now.”

Of the matchup, Warriors forward Draymond Green described playing LeBron James again as “epic.” “It’s going to be epic,” Green said. “You got Steph, you got Bron doing it all over again.” He added: “But … stop trying to turn the page on us so fast. Stop trying to turn the page on Bron. We get so caught up in what’s the next thing, we don’t appreciate the current. Then you get to the next thing and you’re looking back, like, ‘Man, I wish we still had that. I wish we could still see this.’” The Warriors have played James four times in the NBA Finals over the past eight seasons. Game 1 of the Warriors-Lakers series will tip-off on Tuesday at 10:00 PM, ET.

Sonya Curry Takes Funny Shot At Her Sons: Photo

by

Sonya Curry is living the dream of every sports mom. Curry has seen both of her sons succeed at the highest level in the NBA. However, every mom that has raised a pair of boys has done the same thing. That same thing would be dressing them in matching outfits. Trust me, I am a victim of a mother matching her children in matching outfits. I can sympathize with the pain Seth and Steph may have felt. However, a recent photo shows the two brothers may still share a similar taste in style.

The Curry’s were photographed wearing almost the identical look as they arrived for their respective game. Both Curry brothers were a part of teams that earned a playoff bid this season. In doing so, they’ve now created a lifetime memory for Momma Curry. Sonya shared the photo in her Instagram story with the caption, ” I used to dress them alike when they were little… and they hated it.” Fans around the league have enjoyed the fun jab that Curry sent to her sons.

Sonya Curry, Proud Basketball Mom

However, the Curry duo may not find the situation as funny. Steph is in the midst of trying to overcome the largest playoff deficit he has faced in Golden State. Whereas Seth and the Nets are just hanging on by a thread. However, it doesn’t make the achievement any less if both teams are eliminated in the first round. Both are staring at a long road to turn around their playoff fortunes. However, if anyone was going to make a comeback, it would be a Curry.

Both Seth and Steph competed this past Thursday. Step and the Warriors got their first win in the series with the Kings. As Seth was a part of a game where more than the score has been talked about. But no matter the outcome, I believe the brothers both know they have a mother who loves them. What could be more special than that? So, did you have a mother like Sonya Curry growing up? If so, please share some of your best sibling-matching outfit photos in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, keep it right here at HNHH.

Steph Curry Breaks Down Relationship With Draymond & Klay

by

Steph Curry has helped change the culture of Golden State Warriors basketball. Curry has helped bring 4 NBA championships to the Bay Area, with hopes of more. However, the lethal 3-point shooter understands he didn’t do all of this alone. Draymond Green and Klay Thompson have been key factors in helping Curry bring those titles to Golden State. The trio has been together every step of the way. A fact that Curry doesn’t forget. In a recent interview with ESPN‘s Malika Andrews, Curry discussed what his two teammates mean to him.

“There’s a reason that we’re all still wearing that Warrior uniform… I know we have a lot of memories amongst three, but how many can we keep creating each and every year?” The team has been through it all. From injuries to even losing in the Finals back in 2016. However, this trio has battled a lot of adversity. Yet, they’re still standing strong. But for Curry, he knows this won’t last forever. Which is why the team has to take every opportunity they are given and run with it.

Steph Curry Wants To Keep Making Magic In Golden State

It’s very rare in today’s sports world to see a team created organically. Although the Warriors did add Kevin Durant for three special seasons. However, Curry, Green, and Thompson were all drafted by the Warriors. The team organically became a top threat far before Durant arrived. Now, after his exit, the franchise is continuing to win. This is a testament to the three men who helped continue the legacy of Warriors basketball.

The Warriors are undoubtedly the best team of the 2010s. However, the franchise is still making a statement in the 2020s. Steph Curry is still hoping there’s a little magic left for his time in Golden State. The Warriors will continue their quest for back-to-back titles on Monday night. However, the Kings will be looking to go up 2-0 on the defending champs. Game one was an exciting matchup from beginning to end. Expect each game in this series to be that way.

Gilbert Arenas Claims He Was Better Than Steph Curry at 25

by

Gilbert Arenas was once a megastar for the Washington Wizards. It seemed as if every night, “Agent 0” was putting on a memorable performance. Arenas was on pace to be one of the greatest to ever play the game. However, injuries robbed him of such an amazing career. Still, everyone remembers the play he was before the injuries. Even Arenas himself knows how talented he was at one time. On a recent episode of the I Am Athlete Podcast, Arenas discussed his talents pre-injury.

However, the discussion then went to if Arenas thought he was better than Steph Curry. That’s when Arenas didn’t hesitate. Arenas believes he was better than Curry, to a certain extent. The former Wizards star stated that if you cut both players’ careers at 25, then he is better than Curry. However, Arenas admits that all-time career, Curry’s resume can’t be matched. To listen to what Arenas had to say on the podcast, check out the video below.

Gilbert Arenas Embraces His Greatness

Arenas discusses the accolades he achieved in such a short period of time. Even mentioning his all-star and all-team achievements stood at 25. Arenas went even further by saying Curry wasn’t a champion by 25. The argument does change when you put the age limit at 25. However, injuries are sadly a part of the game. Which is something Curry knows all about as well. However, this discussion will for sure spark highly contested arguments amongst NBA fans. Arenas makes a compelling case. However, is the argument fair when discussing who is better between the two?

Curry will for sure hear about this clip sooner or later. However, the four-time NBA champion is undoubtedly keeping his focus on the playoffs. Curry’s Warriors lost an exciting game one to the Sacramento Kings. However, that one loss isn’t going to stop the reigning NBA champions from coming back with a vengeance. Gilbert Arenas’ comments are fun to discuss. But the who is better argument is always an all-time discussion. Not a pick and choose of what years can be compared.

J.R. Smith Recalls Wild Story On Former Teammate

by

J.R. Smith was a recent guest on JJ Redick’s podcast The Old Man And The Three. During his guest spot, Smith discussed many aspects of his career. However, one story is now going viral. Smith addressed a moment during the 2015 NBA Finals regarding his former teammate Matthew Dellavedova. In the story, Smith describes the great lengths Dellavedove went to attempting to have his body ready for a matchup with Steph Curry in the Finals. A matchup that would almost bring Delly death, according to Smith.

“Delly almost died guarding Steph Curry. We have footage of this man in the ice tub like literally to his neck… He could barely talk after, that’s how hard he was trying.” Smith was referring to Dellavedova being thrust into the starting point guard role during the Cavaliers 2015 Finals run. Starting point guard, Kyrie Irving was injured, causing him to miss the biggest series of the year. The 2015 Finals would be the first time Curry and the Golden State Warriors brought home the NBA Championship.

J.R. Smith Has All The Respect For Dellavedova

The Cavaliers were outmanned with the absence of Irving. However, a more significant part of this story may be the continued growth of the legend of Curry. Curry has been an unstoppable force with the Warriors. After the team nailed draft picks with Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, the team has become a dynasty. It has taken injuries or a complete performance by LeBron James to stop the Warriors when they make the Finals. However, Smith isn’t going to let anyone forget the 2016 Finals.

J.R. Smith got to be a part of the biggest moment in Cleveland Cavaliers franchise history. The 2016 championship was the first title for the franchise and a promise kept by the son of Cleveland, LeBron. However, the 2015 Finals gave Dellavodova a chance to cash in on a great contract offer from the Milwaukee Bucks following the 2016 season. 2015 will always be remembered as the year the Warriors dynasty began. However, many won’t forget the absolute heart and soul that Delly poured into that series. For the latest NBA news, keep it right here with HNHH.

Snoop Dogg On Which Current Player Reminds Him Of Kobe

by

Who better to get your NBA news from than Snoop Dogg? Snoop has long been a supporter of the NBA. As the legendary rapper has long been a diehard Los Angeles Lakers fan. Recently the rap icon sat down with Stephen A. Smith to talk about the game of basketball. On an episode of Stephen A’s World, Snoop was asked the question of if a current player reminded him of Kobe Bryant. Bryant’s legacy is known as one of the greatest to ever play the game. However, Snoop had one current player on his mind.

“The closest that’d I say would be Steph Curry… He’s never considered the best, but he’s always the best when it’s time to be the best,” Snoop answered to Smith. It is hard to argue Snoop’s comments on Curry’s killer instinct on the floor. It seems that every time the Golden State Warriors need the big shot, Curry delivers. Curry has built his own legendary legacy on the court. As well as creating his own brand, just like Bryant. If anything, one would think Bryant would enjoy this comparison.

Snoop Dogg Respects Steph Curry’s Game

Curry’s game is one of the most feared in the entire league. The former league MVP revolutionized the game of basketball with his shooting ability. You can’t tell the story of the NBA without telling a chapter on how Curry changed the game. Curry’s so-called killer instinct has helped lead the NBA Great to four championships and numerous other accolades. Snoop sees greatness in the Warriors star when it’s winning time. One has to think that Curry gladly accepts this comparison.

There will never be another Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba was one of one and a generational talent. However, it is hard to not compare current players to the legends of this game. Bryant and Curry have shown what it takes to be a winner. Even when others may not believe in you. So what are your thoughts on Snoop Dogg’s Bryant comparison? Are there other current players that remind you of Kobe? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, keep it right here with HNHH.

NBA Announces Top 10 Best-Selling Jerseys

by

The NBA recently dropped the top 10 best-selling jerseys of the season. A lot of names you would expect made the list. While some may surprise you. The rankings are as follows: 10 – Kyrie Irving, 9 – Damian Lillard, 8 – Ja Moranr, 7 – Devin Booker, 6 – Kevin Durant, 5 – Luka Doncic, 4 – Giannis Antetokounmpo, 3 – Jayson Tatum, 2 – Steph Curry, 1 – LeBron James. “The King” once again remains supreme at the top of the list. LeBron has long been a member of the top 10 best-selling jerseys.

The top two spots still belong to the old guard, with Curry taking second. However, there is a lot of new blood in the top 10. Tatum, Luka, and Giannis are still the future of the league. All three are the leaders of their respective franchises. While Giannis has become a legend during his time with the Milwaukee Bucks. Tatum and Doncic are still building their legacies in Boston and Dallas. A complete list of the top 15 best-selling jerseys can be seen below.

LeBron Takes The Throne Of The Best Selling NBA Jerseys

Maybe the biggest surprise is seeing Jordan Poole make the top 15. Poole has been a pleasant surprise for the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors will be trying to defend their championship this season. The maturation and growth of Poole gives the team a fighting chance. Two superstars that surprisingly missed the top 10 would be Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid. Jokic is a back-to-back MVP winner, with Embiid looking like the favorite for the award this season. However, the two haven’t found post-season success. Maybe this season will change that for both MVP candidates.

NBA jerseys are some of the top jerseys sold in all of sports. Having the best players’ jerseys has always been a top priority with fans. Even collecting jerseys and not wearing them has become a popular trend. Whatever the case may be, it seems fans still want a piece of the James legacy. Were there any names that didn’t make the list that you thought would have? Looking into the future, who will top the list next season? Let’s hear your thoughts and predictions in the comment section. For the latest news regarding the NBA, keep it right here with HNHH.

Golden State Warriors Trio Makes NBA History

by

The Golden State Warriors have become the greatest dynasty of a generation. The leaders of that dynasty since the beginning have been Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Known as the “Splash Brothers,” the duo has helped change the way basketball has been played. Alongside Draymond Green, the hot shooting duo made history in 2016. The trio made history for the most made threes in one season. A record that was set at 778. However, the team has added another lethal shooter to the roster in, Jordan Poole. Hence why there is a new record holder when it comes to this category.

The newest Warriors trio has destroyed the record Curry, and Thompson once held with Green. Now the record has been set at 788 threes made by one trio. Curry, Thompson, and Poole can be a nightmare to any team on any given night. This record just goes to show that. But now the trio will be looking to make an even bigger splash in the NBA Playoffs. The Warriors will take on the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the playoffs. The Kings have been a fun story for the NBA this season. However, the fun will not be an option when competing against the reigning NBA champions.

Golden State Warriors Trio Is Unstoppable Force

Points will not be hard to come by for either team. The Sacramento Kings were involved in a game this season that saw the most points ever scored in a single game. Therefore, everyone should expect a high-scoring affair in each game played in this series. But a big question will be the health of the Warriors. If Steph Curry isn’t 100%, the Warriors will be in an absolute war in trying to reach the second round. However, the Kings will be a tough challenge with a fully healthy Curry as well.

The Golden State Warriors will continue to rewrite the history books with their talent. Curry is a generational talent surrounded by other talented superstars. Records like this are nice. However, the Warriors are now only interested in adding another ring to their collection. Can the Warriors add a fifth championship to their dynasty? Until someone stops them, they may be hard to deny. Give us your NBA Finals predictions in the comment section. For the latest NBA news, stay locked in right here at HNHH.

Steph Curry Reacts To Andrew Wiggins Return

by

Steph Curry was all smiles after the Golden State Warriors victory over the Thunder on Thursday. Not only for the win but for his returning teammate Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins made his triumphant return to the team after a 21-game hiatus. A hiatus that involved Wiggins helping care for his ailing father. The returning star looked beyond thrilled to be back on the sidelines Tuesday. However, Wiggins wasn’t the only one excited about his return.

Curry spoke with the media after the 136-125 victory. Among the topics discussed, Curry was asked about his thoughts on the returning Wiggins. The future Hall-of-Famer was open and emotional about what Andrew means to the team. “We understand how much he’s been embraced by our fan base, our organization. You know, that’s the love that you show your own. There’s been a lot of unnecessary conversation around him and the whole situation. You don’t really want to react to everything that goes on on the internet. But, it’s just a matter of embracing him and giving him the space to come back, enjoy basketball again, and enjoy being around us,” Curry told NBC Sports Bay Area.

Steph Curry Thrilled To Have Wiggins Rejoin Team

Wiggins’ return is coming at the perfect time for the Warriors. The team can start to look ahead toward another deep playoff run. The defending NBA Champions are looking to avoid the play-in tournament. As they currently sit in the sixth seed, which is one seed out of the play-in. But Wiggins’ return doesn’t mean the former number-one overall pick will be participating soon. Wiggins was on the sideline Tuesday. However, he wasn’t dressed to play. Head coach Steve Kerr has previously mentioned that Wiggins has stayed active during his absence. However, a timetable for his return to play has yet to be revealed.

Tuesday night was emotional for the fans and players alike. Steph Curry was quick to mention what Wiggins means to this team. Wiggins’ return doesn’t; just help the team on the court. But also helps them off the court with chemistry in the locker room. It feels like an exciting time for the franchise with such a huge moment. Now it is time for Wiggins to settle back into his role and help the team avoid an early playoff exit. For the latest news inside the NBA, stay right here with us at HNHH.
