Jimmy Butler III #10 of the Golden State Warriors attempts a shot against the Houston Rockets in Game One of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at Toyota Center on April 20, 2025 in Houston, Texas.
Alex Slitz/Getty ImagesIn his time as an NBA pundit, ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins has gone back-and-forth with his thoughts on the Warriors quite often — and made some infamous claims, too. After Golden State took Game 1 of the first round in Houston on Sunday night, Perkins is speaking like a big Warriors believer.
Perkins made a late-night appearance on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” after the 95-85 Warriors win and said he believes Golden State could "make a legit run to the NBA Finals" during this postseason.
