Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry’s career has been filled with several milestones and memorable moments.
The latest milestone came Sunday when Curry entered the NBA’s history books as a top 20 all-time scorer.
Curry had 26 points, seven assists and four steals in 28 minutes of play during the 111-85 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. During the game, Curry passed John Havlicek (26,395 points) for 20th on the all-time list and is tied with Paul Pierce for 19th with 26,397 career points.
He will chase San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan (26,496) for 18th place.
