Stephen Curry is one of 35 players in NBA history to score at least 20,000 points in the regular season and 2,000 points in the postseason.
Curry and Reggie Miller are the only players in that group to record a true-shooting percentage of at least 60% in both seasons. pic.twitter.com/miA4pbG4Ih – 4:01 PM

ICMYI: Before the All-Star break, Stephen Curry reflected on breaking the NBA’s 3-point record, overcoming a sluggish shooting stretch, evolving as a playmaker & improving as a defender. Steph: “Embracing the opportunity to get rid of some narratives.” https://t.co/XqgbPXm6Vh pic.twitter.com/LG1px7WqLr – 12:30 PM

Prediction: Steph Curry wins Finals MVP – win or lose in the Finals.
He’s generally performed well at this stage and there’s going to be a huge push for him to win this from a voter pool that already loves Steph. – 11:47 AM

Marcus Smart spoke candidly to @YahooSports upon landing in SF on the Steph Curry task, how he’ll be greeted for inadvertently injuring the star, why Boston’s ready and why he’s a target that’ll never alter his style: ‘First one on the floor gets the ball’ sports.yahoo.com/marcus-smart-k… – 9:27 AM

More on this storyline
Gary Washburn: Stephen Curry just said he thought he was going to the #Knicks with the eighth pick in 2009, so he said he didn’t think much or even consider Golden State when the #Warriors took him seventh. New York eventually drafted Jordan Hill eighth. -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / June 1, 2022
Melissa Rohlin: Draymond Green, who is 32, on 19-year-old Jonathan Kuminga: “He look at me like I may look at a 55-year-old man.” -via Twitter @melissarohlin / June 1, 2022
Ohm Youngmisuk: Andre Iguodala explained he would watch African American coaches who were former players get a shot earlier but if things didn’t work out, there was a negative narrative that kept them from getting another shot. Many of these coaches felt they had to be perfect first time around. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / June 1, 2022
