On Friday night, Jordan Poole made his return to Chase Centre as the Golden State Warriors faced off against the Washington Wizards. However, the focus quickly shifted to celebrating their former teammate, Steph Curry. Despite starting the evening with a tribute to Poole through a film montage, the game soon became a showcase of Curry’s greatness.

In an impressive display, Curry achieved a remarkable feat in NBA history. Even though he played for less than 27 minutes due to the score, he became the first player ever to score 30 points, provide 7 assists, and make 8 three-pointers in such a short amount of time.

Curry’s scoring prowess was evident in the game, where he joined the exclusive group of only 15 players to score at least 30 points and make 8 three-pointers in less than 27 minutes. Prior to this game, no player had accomplished this while also dishing out seven assists. It was yet another milestone for the legendary point guard, who has now recorded 75 games with at least eight made threes throughout his career. To put this into perspective, this is the highest number in NBA history, with Damian Lillard being the closest player with 29 such games.

Curry’s ability to consistently make eight or more three-pointers in under thirty minutes is unparalleled. He has achieved this feat 12 times in his career, more than twice as many as the player closest to him on that list. It would be an understatement to say that Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, given his significant lead over any other player in the history of basketball.
