Nevertheless, the 26 points he scored in the victory against the Wolves officially secured his historic spot in the top 20 all-time scorers list. The Warriors star reached 26,397 career points, surpassing John Havlicek, the legendary Celtics icon and eight-time NBA champion, by two points.
Curry is now tied for 19th place with Paul Pierce. It is highly probable that he will overtake him in the Warriors’ next game, scheduled for Monday night against Minnesota, provided his knee issue does not limit him. The greatest shooter of all time continues his climb, following the path of Kevin Durant and James Harden. His progress won’t stop: Tim Duncan, currently 18th with 26,496 points, should be reached and surpassed by Curry within four or five games.
