UPDATE: Stephen Curry has officially surpassed Vince Carter on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, achieving this milestone during a game against the Orlando Magic on July 25, 2023. Curry’s impressive 34-point performance propelled him into 22nd place, marking a significant moment in his illustrious career.
In the match held at the Chase Center, despite the Golden State Warriors suffering a 121-113 defeat, Curry’s achievement stands out. He now boasts a career total of 25,749 points, which is 21 points more than Carter. “It’s always an honor whenever you’re passing greats like that,” Curry stated, reflecting on the significance of the milestone.
Earlier in the day, the Warriors celebrated rookie Will Richard’s NCAA championship ring ceremony, but the excitement continued as Curry quickly made history with a three-pointer in the second quarter. This moment resonates deeply for Curry, who has personal ties to Carter, having played one-on-one games against him as a child.
Curry’s father, Dell Curry, played his final three seasons with the Toronto Raptors, the franchise where Carter began his career. This connection adds emotional weight to Curry’s accomplishment. “There are certain names that are a little bit more special than others just because of past history,” he recalled. “My dad playing with Vince in those three years in Toronto, there’s countless memories… it’s all come full circle.”
As Curry continues to break records, fans are eager to see how far he will climb in the all-time rankings. The NBA landscape is witnessing a dazzling display of talent, and this latest achievement only adds to Curry’s legacy.
Stay tuned for more updates as Curry’s journey unfolds, and fans anticipate what records he might shatter next.
