Stephen Curry is one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game of basketball. There’s no question that he’s the greatest shooter of all time, and his 3PT shooting has enabled him to become one of the greatest scorers of all time.
Recently, Stephen Curry dropped 43 points in a must-win game against the Boston Celtics. Reddit user Raving Malwaay stated Curry is the third-oldest player to drop at least 30 points in an NBA Finals game, only behind LeBron James and Michael Jordan.
If you’re interested:
– Lebron scored 40 points vs Miami in 2020 at the age of 35.
– MJ scored 45 vs the Jazz at the age of 35 in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals, one of the most iconic games ever.
– Tonight, Curry scores 43 at the age of 34 vs the Celtics.
3 All-Time Greats.
There is no doubt that Stephen Curry’s legacy can only get better from these Finals. He changed the game of basketball itself, and there’s no question that he inspired many guard players around the world to play basketball his way.
As of right now, Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors are tied 2-2 with the Boston Celtics after his Game 4 explosion. They have won back home court and will be playing in Chase Center in Game 5.
If the Golden State Warriors are to win this series, they will need more out of their non-Stephen Curry players offensively. Klay Thompson has recently admitted that Warriors players need to do more to help Curry, claiming that it is “ridiculous” to ask him to score 43 points every night.
Perhaps this is the year we see Stephen Curry win his fourth championship, and if he is able to close out this series, he will likely win Finals MVP as well. It remains to be seen if that will actually happen, but the Golden State Warriors definitely have a good chance of winning it all.
