Stephen Curry has marked a before and after in the current NBA. The man from Akron has led one of the best teams in history and with an innovative game has forged a legacy in the last decade. Five consecutive finals, three rings and countless individual and collective records make it a name to consider when talking about the best players ever and to be. This season, everything indicates that the Golden State Warriors are a notch below other teams. But Steph follow his thing.
Just over a week ago, the Bahia flagship surpassed Reggie Miller as the second-most 3-point player in NBA history. With more than 2,560 shots of three made in just 715 games, Curry is close to Ray Allen. The former Celtics is the player who has scored the most triples in the history of the League with 2,973 in 1,300 games. But this has not been the only milestone achieved by Stephen during these days. Last night he scored 38 points against the Celtics. This score earned him to exceed 17,000 points with the Warriors jersey, a figure that is only available to Wilt Chamberlain. In six seasons the historic center managed to reach 17,783.
Still, Steve Kerr believes that Stephen Curry is the best player the franchise has ever seen: “I have no idea how many points he has to score to get to the top. I guess it’s Rick Barry? Oh, Wilt? Wilt Chamberlain? Oh, it’s not a bad name. Steph is an incredible player. If you ask me, he’s the best Warriors player of all time. ” With him at the head they have achieved three of the six championships that they have in their showcases. The others were registered in the years 1947, 1948 and 1956.
At 32 years old, the soul of this golden generation still has a lot of sane. Days ago, he declared to be fully recovered from his physical discomfort and to be at a good level. There is no doubt that if he maintains the type he will be able to overcome Wilt and Miller: “Obviously, I have a lot more left in the tank and I hope I can get there. I have played for 12 years and achieved great things. Every time they put you on a par with Wilt, it’s quite surreal in every way, “added the point guard.
