Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors against the Portland Trail Blazers

With Kevin Durant hurting his calf in Game 5 of the 2019 Western Conference semi-finals against the Houston Rockets, all eyes were going to be on Stephen Curry and whether he could deliver for his team. He did just that and more.

Curry erupted for 33 points in the second half after going scoreless in the first. and sent James Harden's Rockets away in one of his clutchest playoff performances ever. He outscored the entire Rockets team by himself in the final five minutes of the game.

However, after the Conference semifinals, the Golden State Warriors had to defeat the Damian Lillard-led Portland Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals with no sign of Durant returning. Well, the Warriors swept the Blazers. Curry averaged the most points in NBA history in a four-game sweep and sent Lillard home after three straight double-digit comebacks.

The two-time MVP, @StephenCurry30, finished the Western Conference finals with 146 total points scored, the most ever tallied by a player in a four-game sweep—but even when he wasn’t scoring, he was putting Portland to bed@YourManDevine: https://t.co/EykVLwaYhP

Curry then dropped 34 points in Game 1 of the 2019 NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors. He scored 33, 36, 37, 36, 37 and 34 in that order, with one game against Houston, four against Portland and one against Toronto.

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors against the New Orleans Pelicans

After his historic scoring streak ended, Stephen Curry started a new one. From April 29th to May 10th, 2021, Curry dropped 30+ points in every game, starting with a 37-point performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He ended his streak with a 36-point show against the Western Conference-leading Utah Jazz. He hit the game-winning three-pointer against the Jazz with 13.4 seconds left in the game.

Stephen Curry went on a tear in the 2020-21 NBA season, unlike we have ever seen from him. He dropped 37 points against Minnesota, 30 against Houston, 41 and 37 against New Orleans, 34 and 49 against OKC and 36 against Utah. He never shot below 40% from the three-point range except on two occasions, but still managed to drop nine combined threes.

Stephen Curry simply went berserk in the month of April in the 2020-21 NBA season. There are very few words to describe what he was doing on the court and how he was dominating the league. He was breaking records almost every day, and anyone watching him knew that they were witnessing history.

Curry broke Kobe Bryant's record for most consecutive 30-point games by a player aged 33 or older. In one of those games, he surpassed Wilt Chamberlain for most points scored in Warriors' history. He also dropped an NBA record 96 threes in one calendar month. That sounds surreal but comes easy for the greatest shooter on the planet.

Stephen Curry has scored at least 30 points in 11 straight NBA games, breaking Kobe Bryant’s record for a player who is 33 or older. Here’s a look at the streak that turned around Curry’s season — and perhaps the Golden State Warriors’ too. https://t.co/PbLv2T3oLh pic.twitter.com/ngzfa8XbnO

Stephen Curry started off by dropping 32 points against Chicago. then 36 against Miami, 37 against Atlanta, 41 against Milwaukee, 32 against Washington, 38 against Houston, a 53-point eruption against Denver, 42 against OKC, 33 against Cleveland, 47 against Boston and 49 against Philadelphia. Unlike his 7-game streak, this one was against elite teams with superstar talent.

After he dropped 41 points against the Milwaukee Bucks, Jrue Holiday, his primary defender, had this to say about Curry's streak and the form the former was in:

"He’s putting this in the little kids’ heads like, ‘This is OK to try.’ No, it’s not OK to try. Only he can do this."

Stephen Curry sank a staggering tally of 96 threes in the month of April, and he did so while shooting at an unbelievable clip of 49% from beyond the arc.

Curry is easily one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. and his marksmanship and sniper-like abilities have been the NBA's top draw since 2015. He garners more views than any other athlete in the league, and in the 2021-22 season, the Golden State Warriors have 41 nationally televised games, all because of one player.
