NBA: Current players with the most 50 point games

#3 Stephen Curry (6)

Stephen Curry v New York Knicks

Stephen Curry has changed the way this game is played. In recent seasons, he has averaged more than 11 attempts per game from the 3PT line. He shoots an astonishing 43.7% from beyond the arc for his career.

Steph has dropped six 50 point games in his career. In his most recent 50 plus performance, he killed the Wizards with 51 points after just three quarters. He was not needed in the fourth quarter as his onslaught had already given the Warriors an unassailable lead.

Steph's first 50 point game came at the Madison Square Garden when he lighted the Knicks with 54 points on 11-13 shooting from the 3PT line. This was one of the best shooting performances ever seen in the history of NBA. Curry also shot 18-28 from the field and had 6 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals to complement his scoring. But the Warriors could not win the game, as none of the other starters managed to get into double digits in scoring.
