BREAKING: In a stunning display of skill, Stephen Curry officially surpassed Vince Carter on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, moving into 22nd place after an electrifying performance on July 15, 2025. Despite the Golden State Warriors falling to the Orlando Magic with a score of 121-113, Curry’s achievement is a monumental highlight.
Curry, the league’s all-time leader in 3-point field goals, netted 34 points during the game, bringing his total to an impressive 25,749 points, which is 21 points more than Carter. The milestone was reached with a pivotal 3-pointer in the second quarter, showcasing Curry’s signature long-range shooting ability.
“It’s always an honor whenever you’re passing greats like that,” Curry expressed, reflecting on the significance of overtaking Carter, a player he admired during his childhood. Curry recalls fond memories of playing one-on-one with Carter at the Toronto Raptors’ facility, where his father, Dell Curry, played alongside Carter for three seasons.
The moment was even more special as it coincided with a day of celebrations for the Warriors. Earlier, rookie Will Richard received his NCAA championship ring in a surprise ceremony, marking a day filled with achievements for the team.
Curry’s ascent in the scoring ranks is not just a personal victory; it symbolizes the culmination of years of hard work and dedication. “There are certain names that are a little bit more special than others just because of past history,” he stated. “My dad playing with Vince in those three years in Toronto, there’s countless memories, me and my brother being around the Raptor organization and playing Vince one-on-one… it’s all come full circle. Those are pretty special.”
As the NBA season progresses, fans are eager to see how high Curry can climb on the scoring list. His next target is 21st place, currently held by another basketball great. With his current form, Curry fans are buzzing with anticipation for what’s next.
Stay tuned as we continue to follow Curry’s journey and its impact on the Warriors’ season. This achievement not only enhances his legacy but also strengthens the emotional connection fans have with both him and the history of the NBA.
