ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins gives in to the Warriors’ greatness and calls Stephen Curry the 2nd best point guard of all-time

The Golden State Warriors are up 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals. Heading back to the American Airlines Center tonight, the Warriors would hope to sweep the Mavericks on the road. Stephen Curry has shown up and proven all haters wrong, leading the Dubs in the postseason.
He’s had two consecutive 30+ point double-doubles in the last two games. Steph has been phenomenal so far, and the Dubs would hope he continues his brilliant form.

There were dozens of NBA pundits about the last game who were doubting Steph and the Warriors. However, after the Dubs took a commanding 3-0 lead, many changed their minds, including Kendrick Perkins.
Kendrick Perkins calls Stephen Curry the 2nd greatest PG of all-time
For the longest time, Kendrick Perkins has not really had any faith in the Warriors. While the others were jumping on the bandwagon, Perk kept doubting them. However, after the Dubs went up 3-0 over Dallas, he ate his words.

He talked about the same after the Celtics tied the series 2-2 at home late last night. Perk added and went on to call Steph one Finals MVP short of becoming the greatest PG of all time.

He may be late to the party, but he’s arrived.
It’s up to Steph and the Warriors to take on the challenge of completing the sweep tonight. Looking at the pattern of these playoffs, the Warriors like to close the series out at their home only. However, if they sweep the Mavs, they’d get 8 much-needed days of rest before the NBA Finals.
