In an electrifying performance Tuesday night, Stephen Curry scored a staggering 52 points, including an incredible 12 three-pointers, leading the Golden State Warriors to a thrilling 134-125 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. This remarkable achievement also propelled Curry past basketball legend Jerry West, earning him the 25th spot on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

Curry, who is already the all-time leader in made three-pointers, continues to solidify his legacy with this record-breaking night. With Reggie Miller now in his sights at the 24th position, the Warriors superstar is rapidly climbing the ranks of NBA history. The list of greats he has passed includes names like Alex English, Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett, and Russell Westbrook, showcasing the magnitude of his scoring prowess.

Reflecting on the moment, Curry expressed emotional gratitude, saying, “I got a little emotional about that. It was special. In his memory. What he meant to our organization, the league, to the world of basketball. … That’s the logo.” His heartfelt sentiment highlights the respect he has for the legacy that West, famously known as "The Logo," has left on the game.

During the first half of the game, Curry was nothing short of dominant, making his first five shots and scoring an incredible 32 points before halftime. He finished the half shooting 11-for-16 from the field, including an astonishing 8-for-10 from beyond the arc. Warriors coach Steve Kerr couldn’t hide his amazement, shaking his head in disbelief after Curry's final three-pointer of the half.

Curry’s 12 three-pointers matched his season high and, astonishingly, he becomes the first player in NBA history to achieve at least 50 points, 10 three-pointers, and five steals in a single game. “Fifty-two points with people draped all over him, all game long,” Kerr remarked, noting the exceptional talent Curry possesses. Observers and fans alike have witnessed Curry's transformative impact on the game of basketball throughout his illustrious career.

In addition to passing West, Curry's brilliant performance allowed him to surpass both LeBron James and Rick Barry, and he is now tied with Damian Lillard for the sixth-most career 50-point games in NBA history, totaling 15 games. This accomplishment further emphasizes his status as one of the greatest scorers the league has ever seen.

The victory over Memphis not only highlighted Curry's greatness but was crucial for the Warriors as they moved ahead of the Grizzlies into fifth place in the Western Conference standings. Achieving such a high position would be a significant milestone for the Warriors, marking their best ranking in the West since their championship run in 2022.

As Stephen Curry continues to shatter records and lead his team, the basketball world eagerly awaits the next chapter in his already legendary story! How high will he climb on the all-time scoring list? Stay tuned!
