Stephen Curry of the Warriors exceeds 25,000 points, and this is how much he could climb on the list of all time of the NBA

Steph Curry reached another important step in his historic career on Saturday when he joined the 25,000-point club in the fascinating victory of 115-110 of the Golden State Warriors against the Pistons de Detroit. Curry struck the brand at the start of the third quarter when he buried a 3 -point thanks to a screen of his longtime teammate, Draymond Green.

Curry did not have his best shooting evening, but he arrived repeatedly on the line of free throws en route around 32 points, 13 of which arrived at the fourth quarter when the Warriors retained the pistons for their fourth consecutive victory. With this victory, they moved to sixth place in the Western Conference.

“It’s beautiful. It’s night after night,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr. “It was brilliant a night when his shot was really not there.”

Curry is the 26th player in Nba History to reach 25,000 points and the 10 to do it with a team. The other members of this exclusive club are Karl Malone (Jazz), Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Michael Jordan (Bulls), Hakeem Olajuwon (Rockets), Tim Duncan (Spurs), John Havlicek (Celtics), Reggge Miller (Pacers).

After the competition on Saturday, Curry now has 25,017 points, which ranks 26th on the marking list of all time in the NBA. Perhaps the biggest question that comes out of this game, at least from an individual point of view with Curry, is height.

Let’s decompose it by the next big milestones. Here is an overview of 25-19:

Curry is 1,054 points behind Garnett, so he will easily spend it at some point next season assuming that he remains a little healthy (for reference, Curry scored 1,956 points in 74 games last season). Of course, Westbrook is still active and will first exceed Garnett, so Curry will have to pass Havlicek to jump in the top 20. To do this, he will need 1,379 points, which should also be a problem.

And the top 15? Here is what 18-15 looks like at the moment:

It is a tight group and all are retired, so we don’t have to worry about the change of margin. Curry must score 1,694 points to pass Robertson and move to the Top 15. Again, it should be a lock, and is even at hand next season as long as Curry does not have a long absence (Curry doubles the Westbrook average this season.

Assuming that Curry ends up moving to the top 15, the top 10 then moves to sight. It is one of the most exclusive clubs in sport, and getting there will not be easy, even for someone as talented as Curry.

James Harden has more than 2,000 points ahead of Curry and still active. Harden should enter the top 10 itself – maybe by next season – and it is extremely unlikely that Curry grabs Harden. This therefore means that Curry will also have to pass O’Neal to enter the top 10.

Curry is 3,580 points behind O’Neal, and this is where it starts to become interesting.

Although Curry has had huge matches lately, he does not mark at the same level as what he did at his peak, or even a few years ago. This season, he has an average of 24.4 points per game, which is his lowest note for a full season since 2015. Injuries have also been a concern as he aged.

The Warriors still have 18 games this season. If Curry continues its current rate and plays 15 games (allowing a few days off), it should add 350-375 points this season.

We do not know how long Curry, who will be 37 years old on March 12, will want to play. Allowing a new decrease in the possible rating and injury service, but not large, let’s try to find a range of results for curry during the following two seasons.

• 2025-26: 23.5 points per game and 65 high -end appearances; 21.5 points per game and 50 appearances at the bottom of the range.
• 2026-27: 22 points per match and 62 appearances at the upper end; 20 points per game and 50 appearances at the bottom of the range.

The high -end for curry could be around 3,266 more points until the end of the 2027 campaign; The low-end could be around 2,425. Again, we do a lot of conjectures here, but it is very possible that Curry has to play in the 2027-28 season, when he was 40 years old, in order to take O’Neal and enter the top 10 on the list of all time.

Is it possible? Absolutely. Curry is very well conditioned and one of the ultimate competitors in the league. Would he want it? Probably. It is difficult to imagine a scenario where Curry retires a few hundred points to become a top scorer.

Is someone else at hand? And what about 30,000 points? Here is 8-5 on the list of all time:

During is currently eighth and he still accumulates points. Chamberlain, meanwhile, has more than 6,000 points ahead of Curry. You do not want to say that anything is impossible, but it is difficult to imagine a world where Curry climbs higher than 10th on the list of all time. Going to 30,000 years also requires a lot.

In the end, the safest bet is that Curry will finish somewhere between 15 and 10th on the list of all time retired. Not bad for someone who played three years of college and has no average of 20 points per match before his fourth professional season.
