Before missing 11 straight games due to his shoulder subluxation injury last month, Stephen Curry had an average of 29.7 points and 7 assists per game. He was sublime on the court, leading the Golden State Warriors from the front. Apart from this, he gave fans a good run for their money by providing them with a chance to soak in the spectacle he was putting up on the hardwood. So for everyone, the recent injury was a moment of heartbreak. But as of this week, Curry is back and has played one game to dust off the nerves and gain confidence in his shoulder. While doing so, the two-time MVP has surpassed Michael Jordan in a unique feat that has immediately put the pressure back on him to perform despite coming off of an injury.

The game between the Spurs and the Warriors is set to break a long-time NBA record that has prompted fans to demand an all-time showing from Stephen Curry in the wake of the momentous occasion.?
