Sharpshooter’s Historic Night Propels Warriors Past Pistons
In a moment that will be etched in Golden State Warriors’ lore, Stephen Curry cemented his place among basketball’s scoring elite, surpassing the 25,000-point threshold during the Warriors’ hard-fought 115-110 victory over the Detroit Pistons at Chase Center on Saturday night.
The 36-year-old marksman reached the milestone with a signature three-pointer midway through the third quarter, becoming just the 26th player in NBA history to achieve this remarkable feat. The Chase Center crowd erupted in a standing ovation when the accomplishment was announced during a timeout minutes later.
“BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!” Curry shouted while sprinting through the hallway toward the locker room after briefly returning to the court following the game—a tribute to teammate Draymond Green, who hit the decisive three-pointer with 35 seconds remaining and secured the historic game ball for Curry.
Continuing Excellence in Year 16
Despite what Coach Steve Kerr described as “not a great shooting night,” Curry demonstrated his multifaceted brilliance by finishing with 32 points, converting all 12 of his free throw attempts while shooting 8-for-22 from the field.
“It’s crazy, crazy,” Kerr remarked after the game. “It feels like 25,000 threes actually. It’s dynamite. Just night after night, and tonight was obviously not a great shooting night for him. But I loved that he played through fatigue and a physical defense and got to the line 12 times.”
The milestone game pushes Curry’s career total to 25,017 points, with another historic achievement on the horizon—he now needs just seven more three-pointers to become the first player in NBA history to make 4,000 career shots from beyond the arc.
Warriors Riding Hot Streak With New Addition
Curry’s historic performance helped propel the Warriors to their 11th win in their last 13 games. The team has gone an impressive 11-1 since acquiring Jimmy Butler, catapulting them to the sixth seed in the Western Conference standings with a 36-28 record—the lowest seed that leads directly to the 2025 Playoffs without requiring participation in the play-in tournament.
Through 55 appearances in the 2024-25 campaign, Curry has averaged 24.5 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per contest, continuing to display the consistent excellence that has defined his 16-year career.
Breaking New Ground Off the Court
In a groundbreaking development off the hardwood, ESPN senior NBA insider Shams Charania reported Monday that Curry has accepted a position as assistant general manager of his alma mater, Davidson College.
This unprecedented appointment makes Curry the first active player in any major North American professional league to hold an administrative position with a college program. In this role, he’s expected to provide guidance and mentorship to both male and female student-athletes, drawing from his extensive professional experience.
The four-time NBA champion and recent Olympic gold medalist with Team USA will reconnect with Austin Buntz, a former Under Armour global sports marketing team member who now serves as Davidson’s associate director of athletic development and basketball revenue.
Curry’s connection to Davidson runs deep. He starred for the Wildcats from 2006 to 2009 before being selected seventh overall by the Warriors in the 2009 NBA Draft. In 2022, he returned to complete his coursework, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology and gaining induction into the school’s Hall of Fame.
As Curry continues his ascent up the NBA’s all-time scoring list while simultaneously venturing into collegiate administration, his enduring excellence both on and off the court further solidifies his legacy as one of basketball’s most influential and accomplished figures.
