Stephen Curry Sets New NBA Playoff Record

A Memorable Achievement

The Golden State point guard made history, as no player had ever scored as many points in a decisive 7th game of the NBA playoffs. “We tend to take it for granted because he’s excellent night after night and we’ve been watching him play for ten years. But every now and then, we have to remember that he’s one of the greatest players of all time. That’s how I felt when I played with Michael Jordan,” Steve Kerr shared.

The basketball world praised Stephen Curry’s extraordinary performance against the Kings. Kevin Durant, his former teammate, called the display “legendary”, while Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks) found it “surreal”. Former Lakers legend Magic Johnson ranked this performance “among the most impressive he’s ever achieved.” Kevon Looney, Curry’s teammate and another key player in the Warriors’ victory, added: “Witnessing a performance like this is something you’ll remember for the rest of your life.”

Respectful Opponents

The opponents of the day paid tribute to Curry despite the disappointment of elimination. “He’s one of the greatest players of all time. He makes difficult shots, slips through spaces, and is able to finish… He did everything for them. Once he started playing, we had a hard time stopping him,” admitted DeAaron Fox. Stephen Curry now has an appointment with another NBA star, LeBron James, and his Los Angeles Lakers.
