Steph Curry and the NBA Playoffs go better together than peanut butter and jelly.

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?
