Steph Kerry’s impact on the NBA has long been proven to be enormous. The Golden State star has made the best league in the world a place where the three-pointer is the winner and with four NBA championships in his belt, it’s hard to argue even with the legacy he will leave behind.
Another player who is pretty hard to argue with his legacy is Kobe Bryant, the man who led the Lakers to nearly a half of their championships. There are those who would argue that Bryant is one of the three greatest players in history, but if you ask Kendrick Perkins, he knows exactly which of the two he prefers.
During ESPN’s “First Take” program, Perkins debated Kerry’s all-time ranking in the NBA and when asked directly who he would prefer in his team, Kobe or Steph, Perkins surprised with his response: “I take Kerry. It’s not a choice. “Easy, but I will explain my opinion. Forget his accomplishments and the amount of time he is at the top. When I talk about a new generation of talent, I’m talking about a 1.87-foot guard who has changed the world of basketball forever.”
“When I look at his history and what he did, it does not matter who was next to him. He won the championship with Harrison Barnes, became an effective player who attracted Kevin Durant to his team, with whom he won two championships and in the end he played with Andrew Wiggins, who everyone called him a failure and he He also won the championship with him. “
Such a statement several years ago would probably have been received with much less understanding than today and even today ESPN’s broadcast was shocked by Perkins’ answer, but according to quite a few other people, Kerry’s legacy has become greater.
