Steph Curry’s Historic Scoring Amazes NBA Fans in Warriors’ Loss vs. Clippers

Stephen Curry is not of this world.

The Golden State Warriors superstar had a ridiculous night on Wednesday, hitting one of the most ridiculous pregame warmup shots you’ll ever see before making history in the game itself against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The dude is just different, and NBA fans and pundits alike couldn’t believe what they saw:

Surely this was the only amazing thing Curry would do on the night, right?

LOL. Wrong. Try again.

There was an actual basketball game to played, and all Curry did during that was become the first NBA player in history to hit seven three-pointers in four straight games:

Are you surprised by any of this? Curry has made a career out of consistently hitting ridiculous shots from deep, either in warmups or in a game itself. He’s basically IRL aimbot.

The Warriors have had their ups-and-downs in the 2023-24 season, coming into Wednesday night just 26-25 on the year. But Curry hasn’t been the issue, as he’s averaged a cool 28 points and 4.9 assists per game while shooting 42.1 percent from beyond the arc.

And here’s the wild thing—that’s actually a slight down year for Curry from three, as he’s a career 42.7 percent shooter from deep. That’s the 12th-best mark in NBA history, by the way.

There are a lot of arguments when it comes to GOAT conversations in the NBA, but here’s one that isn’t up for debate—Curry is the greatest shooter to ever grace a basketball court.

He has the most three-pointers in NBA history. He’s the only player to ever make more than 400 threes in a season (402 in 2015-16). His four seasons with 300 or threes are more than every other player in NBA history combined (James Harden hit 378 threes in 2018-19, while Klay Thompson did so in 2022-23 with 301, and that’s it).

Curry is different, and NBA fans would be wise to enjoy every ridiculous shot as his legendary career winds to a close. He provided several reminders of that on Wednesday night.
