Golden State Warriors guard, Stephen Curry, became the 26th NBA player to reach 25,000 career points in the match against Detroit Pistons on Saturday Night. The Warriors topple Pistons to 115-110, with Curry contributing 32 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, bringing his career total to 25,017 points.
The 37-year-old is only the 10th player in NBA history to reach 25k points with a single franchise. Curry, playing his 1,011th game, admitted he wasn’t tracking his total.
“It was a surprise, actually. I knew I was coming up on it but I didn’t think about it until I heard it in game,” Curry said. “There’s a list, (broadcaster) Tim Roye told me after the game only 10 guys I think or now 10 guys that have done it with one franchise, so that’s pretty special,” Curry said.
Warrior’s coach Steve Kerr lauded Curry’s resilience to reach such a huge landmark. “It’s crazy, crazy. It feels like 25,000 threes, actually. It’s dynamite,” Kerr said. “Tonight was obviously not a great shooting night for him, but I loved that he played through fatigue and physical defense and got to the line 12 times. He was brilliant, even when his shot wasn’t there. That’s the mark of a great player.”
Here’s the list of the other 10 players to reach 25k, as per NBA.com:
