Stephen Curry Passes Vince Carter to Reach 22nd on NBA All-Time Scoring List

The milestone carried added meaning for Curry because of his childhood ties to Carter during Dell Curry’s Toronto tenure.

Overview

  • Curry finished the night with 25,749 career points, 21 more than Carter, and now trails Kevin Garnett (26,071) for 21st.
  • He moved past Carter on a second-quarter three-pointer.
  • The achievement came in a 34-point outing with nine assists in the Warriors’ 121-113 loss to the Magic.
  • Curry reflected on the moment as an honor, recalling early one-on-one games with Carter at the Raptors’ facility.
  • He said he tweaked his ankle and will monitor it before a back-to-back against the Heat on Wednesday.
