Stephen Curry has become accustomed to shattering records in his 15 years in the NBA. That is the “Baby Faced Assassin”‘s legacy. However, the Golden State Warriors superstar has mostly created and broken offensive records. The 35-year-old has transformed the game as a scorer and three-point shooter, but his defense and adaptability are underappreciated. This is exactly what he has been secretly demonstrating over the years.
The Miami Heat stopped by the Chase Centre on their way to the West. The club appeared to be on the verge of defeat as they entered the game without their top forward, Jimmy Butler. They did, however, demonstrate amazing tenacity in defeating the Warriors on the run. Curry had a spectacular night while the Warriors were humiliated at home.
Stephen Curry has been underappreciated as a true point guard throughout his career. The debate over whether the two-time MVP is genuinely the best point guard to ever walk the court or merely a shooting guard performing the role of floor general has always raged. With his all-around ability, the Warriors star has proven every doubter wrong. This was shown in his most recent rebounding record.
During the Warriors’ blowout loss to the Miami Heat, Stephen Curry quietly moved up to 10th on the Warriors’ all-time rebounding list. To accomplish this incredible achievement, the 35-year-old grabbed four rebounds. He had a disappointing offensive performance, scoring only 13 points. This record, however, may have been a blessing in disguise for the four-time NBA champion.
Curry and the Warriors struggled throughout the game, and the Heat took advantage of their flaws. The Miami Heat not only outhustled but also outmatched the faltering Golden State Warriors. Curry’s astounding record provided a silver lining on this otherwise gloomy day.
Over the years, the Golden State Warriors have had some iconic names among their ranks. Some of the game’s biggest names, from Wilt Chamberlain to Kevin Durant, have worn the blue and gold. Stephen Curry, a 15-year veteran, has etched his name alongside some of the franchise’s greats thanks to his rebounding skills.
Stephen Curry now owns a career-high of 4,314 rebounds. With this accomplishment, he surpassed Clifford Ray for 10th place on the Warriors’ all-time rebounding list. The legendary Nate Thurmond leads this list with 12,771 rebounds. Wilt Chamberlain, the four-time MVP, comes in second with 10,768 rebounds. In the same order, Larry Smith, Clyde Lee, Paul Arizin, Neil Johnston, Draymond Green, Rick Barry, and Joe Graboski complete the rebounding list. Curry is now ranked tenth among these iconic names.
