Taking a look at Stephen Curry’s regular season and NBA playoffs points return so far

Stephen Curry is easily the best shooter the NBA has ever seen, and has had a fair range of detractors, especially towards the beginning of his career. Curry’s height and physical attributes led to him being selected as the seventh overall pick of the 2009 NBA draft. Since then, the Warriors’ man has won three NBA championships, two MVP awards and has been selected as an All-Star exactly seven times.

In addition to the 18,500 regular-season points, Curry has also scored a whopping 2,968 points in 112 playoff matches in his career thus far. As far as overall points are concerned, Curry scored his season highest during the 2015-16 NBA season, finishing with 2375 points overall. Last season, he produced a career-best points per game average but only amassed 2015 points overall, which is till-date his second-highest return. As far as the Playoffs are concerned, Curry produced his season-best during the Golden State Warriors’ most recent championship winning season in 2018-19.
