Stephen Curry of Golden State Warriors became the 26th player in NBA history to score 25,000 career points.
On Sunday, the 36-year-old guard reached the milestone during the third quarter of the Warriors’ 115-110 win against the Detroit Pistons.
“It feels like 25,000 3s actually. It’s dynamite. Just night after night, and tonight was obviously not a great shooting night for him. But I loved that he played through fatigue and a physical defense and got to the line 12 times,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.
“He was brilliant on a night when his shot really wasn’t there, he was still brilliant. That’s the mark of a great player,” he added.
Curry averaged 24.4 points, 6.2 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 54 games this season.
The 11-time NBA All-Star guard has won two Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards and four NBA titles (2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022).
