UPDATE: In a thrilling milestone for the NBA, Stephen Curry has officially surpassed Vince Carter on the all-time scoring list, moving into 22nd place following a high-energy game against the Orlando Magic on December 5, 2023. Curry scored 34 points during the match, which ended in a 121-113 loss for the Golden State Warriors.
This accomplishment is a significant moment for Curry, who fondly recalls his childhood one-on-one games against Carter. The star player now boasts a total of 25,749 points, surpassing Carter by 21 points. “It’s always an honor whenever you’re passing greats like that,” Curry remarked after the game.
The milestone was celebrated on a day filled with Warrior festivities. Earlier, Will Richard, a rookie for Golden State, received his NCAA championship ring from the University of Florida in a surprise ceremony.
Curry’s achievement came during the second quarter, where he made a pivotal 3-pointer, further solidifying his reputation as the league’s all-time 3-point king. His father, Dell Curry, played his final seasons with the Toronto Raptors, the team where Carter began his legendary career. Stephen, then just a child, frequently played against Carter at the Raptors’ facility, creating lasting memories.
“There are certain names that are a little bit more special than others just because of past history,” Curry expressed. “My dad playing with Vince in those three years in Toronto, there are countless memories, and it’s all come full circle. Those are pretty special.”
Fans are buzzing on social media, sharing their excitement about the historic moment and reflecting on the legacy of both players. As the NBA season progresses, all eyes will be on Curry as he continues to climb the scoring ranks.
Stay tuned for more updates on Curry’s journey as he chases further milestones in his illustrious career.
