All eyes are on the players chosen to display their abilities on the big stage as the 74th NBA All-Star Game draws near. Stephen Curry, a basketball phenom who is scheduled to make his 11th All-Star appearance, is one of them. With a career full of honors and a legacy that solidifies his place among the greats, Curry’s impact and effect on the game are indisputable.

However, former NBA player, Kendrick Perkins is not a big fan of Curry’s inclusion in this year’s match. Perkins, renowned for holding strong and frequently controversial views, had a different perspective on Curry’s choices. Perkins claimed that other players, such as Kyrie Irving, Devin Booker, and De’Aaron Fox, had played better this season. Also, he made a bold claim after that.

I’ma say the quiet thing out loud. Steph Curry should not be an All-Star.

Perkins went on to support his argument. This was by pointing out that other stars not only had superior individual campaigns, but also ended up in better team positions than Curry. Instigating conversations around the basketball community, Perkins’ criticism brought a new viewpoint to the current All-Star debate.

The Golden State Warriors continue to concentrate on their next obstacles. This is despite the ongoing controversy surrounding Curry’s eligibility for the All-Star team. Ignoring the outside noise surrounding Curry’s honors, the Warriors are eager to raise their league rankings going into a pivotal matchup with the Phoenix Suns.

Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr are not ‘a big fan’ of Jimmy Butler according to insider

According to an insider, head coach Steve Kerr and star man Stephen Curry are those who are impeding a possible trade for Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler. Also, the Golden State Warriors haven’t been particularly aggressive in trying to acquire Butler. As per Kevin O’Connor, Curry and Kerr do not see Butler as an ideal signing for the Warriors.

It should surprise nobody if the Warriors end up holding onto their pieces. Waiting until the summer, hope Kevin Durant wants to head back to the Bay Area or some other star wants to go there, and they bypass the chance to go get Jimmy Butler.

Given how erratic their campaign has been, the Warriors could need some upgrades. With a 24-23 record, they are ranked 11th in the Western Conference. Moreover, the sole player on the team that averages more than 20 points per game is Curry. However, O’Connor stated that rather than pursuing Butler, the Warriors are more inclined to keep their current roster and try to develop for the future.
