Kendrick Perkins has had plenty of time to rattle off NBA takes during the league’s hiatus. Most recently, he told Joe Vardon of The Athletic that he would have helped the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Golden State Warriors in 2016.
“f I was on Oklahoma City, we wouldn’t have blown that 3-1 lead, there’s no way in hell we would have blown that,” Perkins said. As I’m sure we all remember, the Dubs overcome a 3-1 deficit in the 2016 Western Conference Finals to topple the Thunder.
The Warriors achieved this due to incredible performances from Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.
