NBA champion Stephen Curry is not forgotten and after winning his fourth title, he put an idiot of media personalities in the spotlight.
Steph Curry carried the weight of words of doubt all the way to winning a fourth NBA title.

“And the fact that when we started this season, the conversations about who we were as a team and what we were capable of, I clearly remember some experts and speakers who put the big zero of how many championships we would have ahead because of everything we went through.” , Curry said after the sixth game.
Curry was apparently referring to ESPN NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins and former NFL cornerback Domonique Foxworth who kept zeros in “First Take” last August, when the pair predicted that Curry would not would win another ring in the next four years, the NY Post reports.
“That’s how we feel about everything, and you carry everything and try to keep your purpose, don’t let it distract you, but carry that weight and to get here, everything comes out. It’s special. ”
During “NBA Today” Thursday afternoon, Perkins said he did not expect “absolutely nothing” from Curry in Game 6.
“I don’t expect this game to be close,” said Perkins, who won a title with the Celtics in 2008. “Boston will win this game in a big way because, hey, you think you’re crazy when Kyrie. [Irving] stepped on Lucky. Imagine drowning in champagne, okay? This is something you don’t want. Boston is winning. Steph Curry has no effect. I don’t expect anything from Steph. “
After the Warriors beat the Celtics in six games to win their fourth title in eight years, with Curry losing 34 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists on the road to winning the NBA Finals MVP, Perkins and Foxworth they addressed Curry’s call.
“One, thank you for watching them,” Perkins told ESPN’s morning show, “Get up.”
“But listen, it’s okay. You have to accept that. Players use that as motivation.”
Perkins said the situation reminded him when Rasheed Wallace doubted the former big man and the Celtics when they won a 2008 championship against the Lakers.
“[Curry’s] The resume is longer than the Chick-Fil-A line, “Perkins added.” Pound by pound, she’s the most conditioned athlete in the NBA right now. .
Curry wasn’t the only one to call Perkins after the Celtics’ sixth game win. Draymond Green, while recording a post-championship episode of his podcast, ripped off the former NBA player while praising JJ Redick and CJ McCollum for their media efforts.
“You have fools like Kendrick Perkins who come dressed as a clown, come here in a prison suit and then leave the game early tonight,” Green said. “Keep your word, brother! You have to get on with it. One thing is for sure, I will stick to mine.
Curry, in 2009, was selected in seventh place by Davidson, now has four championships, two NBA MVP awards and eight All-Star selections in his 13th year. On Thursday, he became the first MVP of Bill Russell’s NBA Finals.
Curry’s teammate Andre Iguodala declared him “the best base of all time” after the sixth game.
