Stephen Curry revealed the one game that made him believe that he was destined for greatness.
Speaking to Today, the Golden State Warriors superstar relived the time he notched up 54 points against the New York Knicks at the Madison Square Garden in 2013.
“My 4th year, we had a game in New York at the Garden,” Curry said (via ClutchPoints). “I scored 54 points but we lost that night. That game specifically just kind of changed the narrative — ‘Okay, we got to take this kid seriously because he's got game and he's fearless.'”
Curry averaged 54 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists, but the Warriors went down 109-105 against a stacked Knicks side led by Carmelo Anthony, who had 35 points and 8 assists. In what comes as a defining moment, it was Curry who turned the ball over, led to New York winning the contest.
Since then, Curry has gone on to become a bonafide superstar in the NBA. and he certainly changed the narrative as Golden State went on to win four titles with him at the helm.
