On Monday, in a big game against the Houston Rockets, Stephen Curry made history for the Golden State Warriors by playing more minutes than any other player in team history.
The final score was 121–116 in favor of the Warriors. Curry scored 32 points, grabbed five rebounds, and gave out one assist while hitting 8/14 from the field and 5/9 from beyond the three-point line in 35 minutes of play.
Curry’s amazing accomplishment beats Nate Thurmond’s record for most minutes played in a game. The statement was made by the Warriors to honor Curry’s unique contributions to the team’s history.
Curry, who was picked seventh in the 2009 NBA Draft, is still showing how great he is on the court after 15 seasons. He is one of the best players in the NBA, even though he is 35 years old. He averages 30.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game right now. Over 13 games, he has made 48.4% of his shots from the field and 45.3% from three-point range, which is very good.
Curry has had a lasting effect on the Warriors that goes beyond his individual marks. He has taken the team to the NBA Finals six times and won four titles in the last nine years. Curry has a history of consistently great play, and he is still a driving force for the Warriors. He is a great example of skill, leadership, and longevity in the game.
