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.
