Although Kendrick Perkins picked Stephen Curry over Kobe Bryant, it was not a long time ago that he predicted that the Warriors would win zero NBA championships in the next few years. However, clearly, his opinion was changed by a series of impressive performances by Curry.

Steph has been one of the most impactful players in the league ever since his debut. His three-point shooting has arguably revolutionized the game beyond measure. The 80s and 90s were predominantly a time of physicality in the league. But Curry has now brought the focus more towards ball movement and shooting efficiency.
