Stephen Curry put on a show Thursday night, reminding everyone why he’s the most electrifying shooter in the game. Warriors fans couldn’t have asked for a better performance as he dropped a ridiculous 56 points in a 121-115 win over the Magic. His three-point shooting? Unreal. Actually real is more fitting, just because he’s Steph. He went 12-for-19 from deep, coming just two makes shy of Klay Thompson’s single-game record. But the moment that really changed everything? That absurd 49-foot heave right before halftime.

Golden State was down 17 with 1.5 seconds left in the second quarter, in bounding from under their own hoop. Curry casually launched a shot from beyond half court, cutting the deficit to 14. That wasn’t just three points—it was a momentum shift. The Warriors came out of the break on fire, torching Orlando with a 33-9 run.

With this win, Steph Curry added yet another insane stat to his resume. It was the 45th time in his career he knocked down at least nine threes in a game. The most by any player in NBA history. After he achieved this milestone, Ayesha Curry, his beloved wife who unfortunately couldn’t witness vintage Steph live, shared a video posted by the Warriors on her story on Instagram.

In video, the 2x MVP is walking to the locker room, and he can be heard saying “Oh man! I needed all 56 of those.” Ayesha overlaid the video with the text “😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 @stephencurry30” on her story. Even from a distance, she made sure Steph felt her pride, celebrating his brilliance like she always has.

Through championships, injuries, and career-defining moments, Ayesha has been his biggest cheerleader. Whether she was courtside or watching from afar, that unwavering support never changes.

Even the 4x Champion made an emotional confession today. After the match, Curry took a moment to reflect on what performances like these mean at this stage of his career as he decided to keep the game ball after torching Orlando.

“I knew about the 50-point thing, which is a cool honor—just, uh, longevity,” Curry said postgame. “With every gray hair that pops up on top of your head, you can get to appreciate moments and milestones like this.”

A rare admission from Curry, who usually steers clear of any talk about aging. But after yet another historic night, even he acknowledged the significance.

“So, very, very special. Just scoring the basketball—yo, I love to do it,” he continued. “I love to have nights like these, and I just want to, you know, soak it all in.” said the Warriors superstar.

While his wife wasn’t there to witness this insane night, his mother was there.

Stephen Curry hands Sonya a memorabilia, that she might not like much

Steph’s deep threes, impossible shots, and pure dominance turned the game into a work of art. But the best moment? That happened after the final buzzer when he handed his sweat-drenched jersey to his mom, Sonya.

She’s seen him dominate plenty of times, but this was different. Her face lit up as she caught the jersey, a mix of pride and pure joy. This wasn’t just a piece of clothing—it was a snapshot of history, a symbol of the relentless work that got him here. But once she felt the shirt, she did pout on camera.

Dropping 56 in today’s NBA isn’t normal—it’s legendary. Curry wasn’t just making shots; he was pushing the limits of what we think is possible. Pulling up from absurd distances with zero hesitation, he made the court look too small for his range. And let’s not forget, every three he drains only adds to his already untouchable record.

For Sonya, moments like this never get old. Every parent dreams of seeing their child thrive, but watching Steph carve out NBA history night after night? That’s something special. And on this night, in a packed arena far from home, he made sure the most important person in his life had a piece of it to hold onto.
