Klay Thompson, Pau Gasol, Ja Morant and Others React to Steph Curry’s Explosive Performance Against Trailblazers

Steph Curry just made history against the Portland Trailblazers. The former two-time MVP set a new career-high as he scored 62 points in the Warriors‘ win over the Trailblazers.

This tops his previous high of 54 points against the New York Knicks in 2013. With his magnificent game, Curry showed that he is still an elite player in the NBA.

NBA World reacts to CurryMania

Many players and analysts took to Twitter after the Warriors’ win to share their reactions to Steph’s insane game. Curry hit 8 three-pointers at a 50% conversion rate and made 18 of his 31 field goals. Former players like Pau Gasol, Kendrick Perkins, and Bill Simmons showered appreciation for one of the best players in the history of the NBA.

Steph came into the game with a mission to get one over Portland after the Trailblazers defeated the Warriors on Friday night. He now matches his close friend and backcourt partner Klay Thompson in the 60-point club.

This performance was a reminder to everyone in the NBA world that Steph Curry is not to be discounted. Due to their poor start this season, many wrote off Steph Curry and the Warriors. However, Steph showed that he can choose to turn it on whenever he is motivated and ready to prove something.

Steph Curry reminds us of his skill

Curry started the game incredibly hot, scoring 21 points in the first quarter alone. He ended the half with 31 points and it looked like we were set for a Curry shooting clinic.

But even the most ardent of Steph Curry fans weren’t expecting him to go off the way he did in the second half. Steph went on to score another 31 in the second half, including 5 three-pointers.

Many NBA players reacted with high praise for Curry. However, his brother Seth chose to throw some light-hearted jabs at Steph. Hilariously, Jimmy Butler came down to his defense.

Regardless of the jokes, one thing remains clear; Steph Curry is here to stay.

Steph Curry had a historic night at the Chase Center and created one of the biggest memories of the newly formed arena. If Curry continues to perform like this, the Warriors can overcome their average start to the season and return to the NBA playoffs. Moreover, Curry showed that it would be premature to take him and the Warriors out of the championship conversation.
