Steph Curry is unarguably the most iconic player in the Golden State Warriors’ history. Wilt Chamberlain is the only other player who can be ranked on equal footing with the 2X MVP. A new season has dawned, but it’s the same old story for Steph, as he is continuing to break records!
Curry is now the second all-time leading scorer for the Warriors, crossing franchise legend Rick Barry. He attained this feat during his team’s Christmas Day game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Although it took him some time to get going, Curry ended the first half with a long-range dagger.
Stephen Curry (16,449 career points) is now the all-time leading scorer in Golden State's West Coast Era (since 1962), passing Rick Barry (16,447). Curry trails only Wilt Chamberlain (17,783) on the franchise’s all-time scoring list.
