Stephen Curry ties Wilt Chamberlain with an incredible milestone

Even though he was often overlooked throughout his journey to the league, it didn’t take long before Stephen Curry proved that he was one of the most unique players to ever live. Now, he’s not only a three-time NBA Champion but also considered one of the greatest – if not the greatest – shooter in the history of basketball. More surprisingly, he continues to pile up accolades and milestones almost every night he’s out there leading the way for the new-lookGolden State Warriors. That’s not likely to change any time soon as it feels like he’s still got plenty of years left in the tank.

Stephen Curry has changed the way the game is played nowadays. Whether you like it or not, his limitless range has made a huge impact on basketball, making him the most influential player of his generation.

That’s why it’s not a surprise to see the Davidson product crack the record books and make Golden State Warriors history after another impressive scoring outburst during his team’s close loss to the Boston Celtics last night.
