At 37 years old,\u00a0Warriors\u00a0star Steph Curry still is playing elite basketball.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But\u00a0one NBA analyst believes the team he has played with for his entire 17-year career has not done right by him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone has failed Steph in this organization,\u201d ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins said on \u201cNBA Today.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re\u00a0talking about an all-time great…\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0talking about Steve Kerr, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, they\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0get right.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
.@KendrickPerkins<\/a> on the Warriors:<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone has failed Steph in this organization. We\u2019re talking about an all time great . . . Steve Kerr, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, they can\u2019t get right. We\u2019re talking about a window where he\u2019s trying to max out to win a championship . . .\u201d pic.twitter.com\/Bqsxc3jw8b<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Chef (@CurryForGame) January 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n After\u00a0a\u00a0120-113 win over the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Wednesday, the Warriors improved their record to 20-18\u00a0and remained in eighth place in the Western Conference standings.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a less-than-ideal position for Golden State as it approaches the halfway point of the regular season.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s\u00a0particularly disappointing considering the improved play towards the end of last season when they\u00a0acquired\u00a0Jimmy Butler, a move\u00a0in which would maximize Curry and the Warriors\u2019 championship aspirations\u00a0as the\u00a0superstar\u2019s\u00a0window gets smaller.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis man is averaging 28 points on 47-percent shooting right now, damn near 40-percent from the three, and y\u2019all\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0get right,\u201d Perkins said. \u201cWe\u2019re\u00a0talking about a window where\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0trying to max out, meaning, to go win a championship. You\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0trade for Jimmy Butler last year just to come in and sign him to an extension to be number eight in the Western Conference.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The lackluster record is a complete regression from the Warriors\u2019 23-8 finish to the 2024-25 NBA season after Butler\u2019s acquisition.\u00a0Time is running out to get back to their winning ways, but\u00a0Golden State\u2019s 7-3 record in their last 10 games shows some life.\u00a0<\/p>\n Perkins called out the organization for not\u00a0being able to\u00a0utilize\u00a0young players such as Jonathan\u00a0Kuminga\u00a0and Moses Moody. He characterizes it as a failure\u00a0of maximizing\u00a0Curry\u2019s talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0up with your player development? Why can\u2019t Moses Moody and Jonathan\u00a0Kuminga\u00a0thrive under Steve Kerr?\u201d Perkins posed. \u201cThey are failing Steph Curry to the max right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Moody is averaging a career-high 10.5 points in 36 games played this season. He has been inserted into a now-consistently used starting lineup, notching 25 games started so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kuminga\u2019s\u00a0story is different, slipping out of the rotation completely after a hot start to the season. He\u00a0likely would be\u00a0an asset offered<\/a>\u00a0by the Warriors if the team makes a move before the Feb. 5 trade deadline.\u00a0<\/p>\n Perhaps a\u00a0big trade-acquisition for a second straight year would move the needle. But as of now, for Perkins, the Warriors are not doing enough for their elite\u00a0superstar.<\/p>\n Download and follow the Dubs Talk Podcast<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t
