Steph Curry Passes Michael Jordan On All-Time List
Steph #Steph
Golden State Warriors superstar Steph Curry had an incredible game on Wednesday night.
On Wednesday evening, the Golden State Warriors played the first game of a five-game road trip when they took on the Los Angeles Clippers in California.
While they lost 134-126, two-time MVP Steph Curry was absolutely sensational.
The former Davidson star put up 50 points, two rebounds, six assists and two steals in 39 minutes of playing time.
He also shot a miraculous 20/28 from the field and 8/14 from the three-point range.
On Tuesday, Curry turned 35 years old, and his performance moved him ahead of Hall of Famer Michael Jordan for most games with 50+ points after turning 30 (h/t Warriors on NBCS).
Curry now has seven, which is tied with Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain for the most ever.
The nine-time NBA All-Star is in the middle of another unbelievable season with averages of 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.0 steals per contest in 44 games.
He’s also shooting 50.4% from the field and 44.0% from the three-point range.
With the way that the four-time NBA Champion has played, he would have been in MVP conversations (if he hadn’t missed 26 games).
The loss to the Clippers drops the Warriors to 36-34 in 70 games, which has them as the sixth seed in the Western Conference.
They are just 7-27 in the 34 games they have played on the road away from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.
On Friday night, the Warriors will play their next game when they visit the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena in Georgia.
