The recent game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers led people to question Stephen Curry and his performance. One of the names among them was Kendrick Perkins.
Curry’s performance was questioned in this tweet referring to him achieving six of twenty in the game. According to his performance, he made 3-of-14 downtown, which deprived him of another opportunity to surpass Ray Allen’s record as the NBA’s all-time three-point shooter.
Perkins, who used to be a basketball player, now works as an ESPN analyst. He said:

“Steph got Game 7 Syndrome!! When everyone is anticipating a big moment he never meets it. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to hear Doc’s pregame speech! Best win of the season for the 76ers. Who needs Simmons when you got Thybulle! Carry the hell on…”
In the opinion of Kendrick Perkins, Stephen Curry has a Game 7 Syndrome
At the post-game press conference, Joel Embiid and Matisse Thybulle spoke about Curry making the record. Both of them were adamant that the record won’t be allowed in their court. This is a reason why Thybulle made sure not to allow Curry to make a three-pointer during the whole game. That is exactly what happened.

In this case, fans expected Curry to break the record, but it didn’t happen that way and through this, many were disappointed, especially Perkins.

Curry’s fans piled up all over Perkins’ tweets, and the Warriors fanbase also showed that they aren’t losing hope. They provided feedback to Perkins. Although by watching Curry’s performance, it’s clear that he will be breaking records soon. Many Lakers fans, however, don’t understand why Perkins tweeted out that particular post.

Nothing worse than ex players commentating who couldn’t carry the travel bags of the stars they are ripping You can’t create class. You have it or you don’t. You never have and never will. I didn’t see the line at the Arena wrapped around the building for your warm up. Carry on
