Stephen Curry just added another legendary milestone to his already historic career. During the Golden State Warriors’ 115-110 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night, Curry became the 26th player in NBA history to score 25,000 career points. The moment came in the third quarter when the two-time MVP hit a signature 3-pointer at the 8:32 mark, pushing him into one of the most elite scoring clubs the league has ever seen.
As the Chase Center crowd erupted, the Warriors called a timeout with 5:42 left in the quarter to honor their superstar. It was a fitting tribute for the greatest shooter of all time, and his teammates made sure the night was even more memorable. After the game, Draymond Green secured the game ball for Curry — a sign of the respect and brotherhood that defines this Warriors dynasty.
But Curry wasn’t done yet. He finished the night with 32 points, shooting 8-for-22 from the field and going a perfect 12-for-12 from the free-throw line. His current career total now stands at 25,017 points — and counting.
Another Record on the Horizon
As if 25,000 points weren’t enough, Curry is closing in on yet another historic mark. After knocking down four 3-pointers against the Pistons, he’s now just seven away from becoming the first player in NBA history to hit 4,000 career threes. It’s a record that perfectly encapsulates Curry’s revolutionary impact on the game.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr summed up Curry’s greatness after the game:
“It’s crazy, crazy. It feels like 25,000 3s actually. It’s dynamite. Just night after night, and tonight was obviously not a great shooting night for him. But I loved that he played through fatigue and a physical defense and got to the line 12 times. He was brilliant on a night when his shot really wasn’t there — he was still brilliant. That’s the mark of a great player.”
Curry turns 37 next Friday, but his game remains timeless. With 25,000 points and nearly 4,000 threes, he continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible on the court. The scary part? He’s still going strong.
