Steph Curry, the star of the Golden State Warriors, is having an amazing start to the new campaign. Curry wasted little time in maintaining this level of play against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, entering the game averaging over 30 points per game with unparalleled efficiency. Curry made NBA history by becoming the first player to make four or more threes in each of his first eight games of a season with 20 points and five threes in the first half.
Given that his peak rivals any player in NBA history, Curry is playing as well as he has ever played to start this season. The only person to ever combine efficiency and volume in such a way that the NBA has never seen before Curry himself is the closest thing to what Curry is doing.
Curry’s stats are not as significant as Golden State’s team performance as a whole. With a strong start to the season, Curry is assisting the Warriors in swiftly moving past their disappointment from the previous campaign.
For the rest of the NBA, Curry’s continued ascent to the top of the game as one of the greatest players in NBA history is unsettling. With the Warriors off to a fantastic start, Curry looks better than ever.
