Anybody who has been watching the NBA for the past decade or so has got a fairly good idea of who Stephen Curry is. Curry has been credited for changing the landscape of the league and is one of the reasons why we see so many points being scored in today’s game. Widely regarded as the best shooter the game of basketball has ever seen, Curry has made his mark on the game finding ways to shoot from beyond the arc. His shooting skills are so good that the placement of the 3-point line doesn’t even matter as he can easily knock down shots from several feet away.

Curry though was not always just about the 3-pointers and even today he still has a great pull-up jumper. When he first entered the league, his mid-range game was much more prominent than his shooting from deep. His ability to make long range two-point buckets was probably the reason he changed his game to take more and more threes after a couple of years in the league. Let us now take a look at his highest points per game season.

Stephen Curry's Highest PPG

Steph Curry averaged 32.0 points per game in the 2020/21 season, the highest he has averaged in the regular season. This season was even more special for Curry as he became the all-time leading scorer of the Golden State Warriors, moving ahead of the great Wilt Chamberlain who had 17,783 points and had held the record for 57 years. He also won his second scoring title in 2021.

In the 2020-21 season, the Warriors were already without their other star player, Klay Thompson who had suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury, during a pick-up game even before the season started. This meant that the maximum onus of scoring fell on Curry and he delivered with his highest ppg of his career.

Stephen Curry Career PPG

Overall, Curry has maintained a healthy and respectable career average of 24.7 ppg, as of October 2024. As a rookie, he started out scoring 17.5 ppg and it took him another two years to finally break the 20 points per game barrier.

From the 2012-13 season onwards, Curry has managed to put up more than 20 ppg every year in the regular season with his last coming in the 2019-20 season when he averaged 20.8 ppg. However, it is essential to note that he could only play five games that year as he injured his hand and required surgery.
