Last night during the Warriors’ defeat against the Cavs, Stephen Curry reached a pretty solid bar, a bar that only 34 other players had passed before him since the creation of the NBA. 22, here goes Curry!
If you don’t have the ref of the last sentence in the intro, good for you because you are under 40 and have your whole life ahead of you.
To talk basketball? Stephen Curry therefore took advantage of his match of the night to pass the 22,000 career points mark, a great achievement even if it will not make us forget that Caris LeVert took him two or three times in races on occasion of this match.

22,000? Only ? Yeah, because that’s a bit of the feeling we had last night when reading the stats. Stephen Curry was ultimately “born” only in 2012-13 and only really exploded in 2015 with his first MVP trophy and the first Warriors ring, and that’s why Today we find him a few hundred meters from a Kevin Durant for example, same generation but monstrous from his first steps in the NBA.
The next heads in Steph’s sights in the ranking of the best all-time scorers? Clyde Drexler, Elgin Baylor, Adrian Dantley, Robert Parish and Dwyane Wade, and a season which could therefore see the leader enter the Top 30 if injuries leave him alone in 2024. Three more seasons at 30 pawns on average and the Top 10 will then open the doors to him, a ranking more in line with his talent and his place in history.
