A career high 62 points for Steph Curry! STILL proving he’s the greatest shooter we’ve ever seen and a MVP candidate along with LeBron, AD, KD, Kyrie, Luka Doncic, Kawhi, and Giannis!

Steve Kerr on Steph Curry: "It was just a brilliant performance. We've seen Steph do so many things here over the years. It's just a privilege to coach him. We are incredibly blessed as an organization to have Steph leading the way."

The Warriors got blown out by the Trail Blazers, 123-98, on their home floor on Friday. The loss compelled numerous haters to ridicule Curry and the Warriors for their subpar start to the 2020-21 campaign.
Yet, Curry had current and former NBA stars in admiration for the way he responded to the slander on Sunday night.
In conclusion, the 32-year-old gathered 62 points, five rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes of action in the Warriors’ 137-122 win over the Trail Blazers.
Furthermore, he shot 18-of-31 from the field, 8-of-16 from downtown and 18-of-19 from the free-throw line.
The Warriors are 3-3 on the season.
