Curry adds pivotal Hall-of-Fame marker to rap sheet
Reaching 25,000 points is a rare feat in the NBA. As the league’s all-time leader in career three-pointers made, Curry now adds one of the most prolific scoring markers a player can attain to his list of accomplishments.
The two-time NBA MVP already has a list that is worthy of Hall-of-Fame commendation. Nonetheless, this makes his case to be a first-ballot honoree all the more stronger. He’ll look to continue rapidly increasing his scoring average on the year after a slow start to the campaign as the Warriors roll on in their winning ways with Jimmy Butler in town.
