Stephen Curry still remembers playing one-on-one games as a kid against Vince Carter. And that’s what made Curry’s latest accomplishment even more special.
The league’s career 3-point king passed Carter on the NBA’s all-time scoring list Tuesday night, moving into 22nd place all-time. The milestone came in a 34-point effort, albeit in Golden State’s 121-113 loss to the Orlando Magic .
Curry now has 25,749 points, or 21 more than Carter.
Next up for Curry is former Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets great Kevin Garnett, who finished with 26,071 points in 21 NBA seasons.
At his current average of 29.1 points per game, Curry could catch Garnett by mid-December.
